Sans Doodads

Uncle picks up a new gun, a S&W M&P9 with none of the silly, stupid "safety" doodads I hate so much.*

I didn't realize S&W actually printed "Caution - capable of firing with magazine removed" on the damn slide. All of my Sigs are capable of doing that. It's a feature not a bug. Is gun, goes bang! If there's a round chambered I want it going off when I pull the trigger. It's a simple concept really. I'd be pretty pissed if my Sigs had a warning like that on the slide. That said, M&P's are nice guns. Good pickup Uncle!

*I really should write a post on that, even though Weer'd covered it pretty well.

My Ruger LCP magazines had a similar warning sticker. I don't care for magazine disconnect "safeties". I consider them a safety defect that could get the user killed.

My 1911s have the lawyer warning on the dust cover. I'm amused by such things, as it does tend to derail some arguments.
