Default S&W Magazine disconnect feature.

Greetings, S&W Semi-auto shooters,

I have a question for you all, if I may. I have never own an S&W semi-auto, but would like to consider one. However, I have heard that semi-autos from S&W all feature an additional safety in the form of a magazine disconnect. If I understand this correctly, that would mean that the pistol will not fire if the magazine is removed, even if a round is in the chamber. Is that right?

I have never owned a firearm with this feature, and wonder how you all feel about that "safety". I would like to be able to fire the gun, even if all I had was the one round in the chamber. I do understand the safety issue about it, but think the inability to fire the pistol without the magazine inserted is also a safety issue.

I'd love to hear your thoughts on this, as you, being owners of such firearms, can best educate me on this topic. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and comments. Take care, and God Bless!

Every Good Wish,
Doc
