Not saying it is a godo rationale, by any stretch of the imagination, but that seems to be the argument for it. Me, I want the gun to go off if there is a round in the chamber, regardless of further shots. *points at Firehand’s comment*

See, Robb, I am not the only one who seems to recall that ;). Not saying it is a godo rationale, by any stretch of the imagination, but that seems to be the argument for it.

Me, I want the gun to go off if there is a round in the chamber, regardless of further shots.

You can argue for it, but I still don't like the idea.

It's hard to beat a gun (I prefer an airweight J-frame Smith) in an ankle holster when seated or flat on your back. Plus, you can reach it with either hand. All and all, a very handy thing to have.

I would think that the train of thought would be closer to "if you can't even get the magazine in correctly then the pistol shouldn't fire". It simply is a fricken' annoyance if you ask me.

As I undestand it, the basic argument behind that "feature" is the whole, "what if the gun is taken away from you?", with the premise being you can pop the magazine out as the gun leaves your possession... or you could follow a more rational, logical argument and use that time and effort to just maintain a better grip on your firearm and club the other moron with it...

Only from the mouths of blithering idiots. Yeah, did you read the comment the one student made that she thought the cop used excessive force in defending his own life?
