At least 277 people have been killed since 2000 by shooters who believed the gun in their hands was unloaded because the magazine was removed.

    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.
