This is my feelings on manual safeties on my carry guns....

That might lead to thread drift, but I couldn't resist other than that, the LC9 looks like a winner

I don't like mag disconnects either. My Ruger SR9c came with one - it took about 10 minutes to remove it. I am hoping the disconnect on this model will be just as easy to remove.

and now we have come full circle on the topic. while I would have no problem taking off the magazine disconnect on a range pistol as i have done once before i would never do it (personally) to my carry piece due to the potential legal implications if you ever had to defend your actions in court. while i don't think it would be the one thing that sends you to jail, you could imagine the ludicrous arguments a prosecutor could make against you. i just don't like the thought of having to defend my actions in court of modifying a firearm.....but hey to each their own with their own weapon

Well...I was excited until I read internal lock, manual safety, AND a magazine disconnect. I understand in our litigious society these things are becoming more commonplace in new pistols, but given the LCP has no manual safeties, no internal lock, and no mag disconnect this makes little sense to me....especially if they are hoping to attract previous buyers. I have nothing against a manual safety, but since I carry a Kahr PM9 without one I'd rather not have to remember a different protocol to make the firearm ready to fire under stress. I would still like to shoot and handle one, but I would have to see a alternate model for the KISS folks like me before I would put my money (and my life) on it.
