Guns you want to see made Pt. 2

[S&Wshooter]

I can see why LEO's would want the mag disconnect. If you are in a struggle with somebody for your gun, if it has a mag disconnect you can simply drop the mag and let the bastard have the gun. While he is wondering why the gun won't go bang, you can taser him or bash him with a nightstick

I don't really mind the mag disconnect nor the heavy double action trigger. I make damn sure the mag is seated when I reload by giving it a hard extra tap. All the heavy trigger means to me is that if someone like a child were to somehow get ahold of my gun, they will be less likely to hurt somebody

I don't like the disconnect because guns with it differ from about every gun I have ever used, and with my Browning, I can't lower the hammer unless I have a mag seated and I don't want to have to put a magazine in my gun to be able to lower the hammer or dry fire it, especially if I keep loaded mags around. I have some extra mags I keep empty, but it's annoying to have to take them out of their case and put them in when I want to dry fire or lower my hammer after clearing it, and it just gets annoying. Mostly though I'd just like the gun to operate like my 1911 or every other gun I own or is out there.

As I said before I tolerated it on my Smith cause I could decock the pistol without the mag in place thanks to the decocker, but if I wanted to dry fire I needed the mag, but as long as I could drop the hammer without putting it in I wasn't that annoyed. It is nice to dry fire without a mag though as it's one less thing you have to check and keep track of. I can see both sides of the arguments with disconnects in engagement roles where one might need to fire their sole chambered round, or if they need to disable their gun in the event it's being taken away from them though, but as a gun enthusiast, I can't really approve of them.

If i was struggling with somebody i doubt dropping my mag would be a reaction. And if something malfunctioned (like a feed lip breaking, etc.) and the mag didnt fully seat, then the round in the chamber may be all you get and youll have to load 1 at a time. Also, at the range with new shooters its common to load 1 at a time to check for flinching and such. And In competitions you need to end a run by dropping amag popping the chamber, decock by pulling trigger so a disconenct would be a bitch.

Could the HP handle it? Youd need to expand the frame for sure.

You'd have to make it bigger.

I read in one of my gun books that a company out of Europe makes a .45 High Power clone, but I haven't seen any proof
