I have a compact 9 mm (Ruger LC9) that has the magazine safety feature.
I actually like it. I was leery of the feature, but I feel confident I can quickly disable the weapon in a second.
It has two other safety features: the standard safety lever and also a key lock that disables the trigger.
I’ve only used the key lock once: I was in a bunkhouse with a group of men from my church. I didn’t take my gun safe on the trip, but felt comfortable that my weapon was disabled while I slept. I know I would have had a delay in arming the weapon, but sometimes you take the risk along with the safety.
If it is a feature YOU like, I’m happy for you. I prefer to still have an operable weapon, even if it’s single shot were I somehow without a magazine. I don’t want more complications added to an already efficient product, not adding more things to go wrong. I also believe that false security comes from even more safety features like this as was suggested (to be standardized?) in his first post about having autoloaders built this way.
Many motorcycles have interlocking switch systems that prevent the engine from running in gear with the side stand down. Some people like it. I repair motorcycles for a living and so they make me money when they fail, but I don’t like to have the system on MY motorcycle.
So we buy guns and motorcycles with the safety features we prefer, hopefully not the way gov’t or even other shooters see fit.
There are plenty of morons riding and crashing motorcycles, and there will always be a surplus of morons pointing “unloaded”, “safety on” guns at things they should not and killing their brothers.
