Had a little trouble with your link - let's try this one:

I suppose my first thought is, so much for 'smart' guns. The four rules of firearms safety will always govern, IMHO.

Jeff - The smartest part of a gun is always going to be the part between the ears of the person holding that gun.

"However, Perry found that if slight pressure is put on the trigger during removal, the gun can fire that round."
OK, and if I use a dead-blow hammer to test for push-off, it'll probably fail. So the question is, why would you do this?

It appears that one has to manipulate the trigger to move to a position beyond which the mag safety (which I don't want on MY guns) blocks further motion. Duh. Keep your finger off the trigger.
The guy is more likely to have it discharge before the magazine leaves the grip.
A non story.

Jeff, this is a brief off-thread question:
what are the four rules of firearms safety?
I'm drawing a mental blank on #4 and it's driving me nuts, since I wanted to give them to my sister-in-law.
A gun is always loaded.
Never point a gun at an object you do not want to destroy.
Keep your finger off the trigger until you're ready to fire.
Uhhhhhhh?
