    In general I feel less safe handling the guns I own with a magazine disconnect than the ones without. Having to put a magazine into the gun to drop the hammer puts me on edge every time.

      Why does that put you on edge? I don’t understand at all how it could possibly be risky inserting a mag into an uncocked gun jist because it won’t fire without a magazine installed.

      Isn’t that a good thing? You shouldn’t feel comfortable casually dropping the hammer on a gun. You should be on alert and questioning whether or not you got all the bullets out before you released the hammer.

        I disagree, you should absolutely feel confident that you are handling a gun safely and unease should never be a part of the equation. A magazine disconnect complicates safe gun handling by adding an unnecessary extra step.
