- Everything I've ever read about *lawyers* agrees with the above. Everything
- I've read about *guns* says get rid of the junky magazine disconnect and
- the trigger pull will improve dramatically and the gun will be useful in
- a combat situation while changing mags. It won't be any more dangerous
- than any gun *without* a magazine disconnect, IE most of them.
