This is by no means something new. The S&W MDl 39 had it, I believe from the begining. The OTHER side of this coin, and this has happened, a BG 'DOES'! get the gun, but KNOWING it has a disconnect, the officer has had time to push it. The BG tries to shoot the LEO, but the gun will not fire. This feature has saved more lives, than the other way around. As I said, just the other side of the coin. Also, if you dare, the gun can be kept with a round in the chamber, needing only the magazine in your pocket to fire. :wink:
