I think 44 AMP hit it pretty well. If anyone is shot with that pistol,legit self defense, accident,or even after its stolen,you are "exposed" to litigation or other legal action for defeating a safety device.
I'm not a lawyer . I don't "know" the fine points.
I'm not saying you WILL be in trouble. I'm saying you have "exposure".
Given the weight of trouble it COULD bring,( 6 figures?7? ) my sense of risk management says:
(Price of the new gun) minus (price I can sell the mag safety gun for) equals (some hundreds of dollars) I don't know how many. Lets guess $300 plus or minus $200. That bites, but think of it in terms of ammo or eggs. Med bills and lawyers and lawsuits,etc.
Remove the safety and you have a long term "stressor" in your life.
I despise mag safeties. I simply will not buy a gun that has one.
Worst is if you are carrying with one in the chamber, clearing the gun is more complex than it needs to be. IMO,its crazy to think removing the mag makes a gun with a round in the chamber "safe".
On the one magazine safety gun I owned, the mag safety would lock the slide. Great! So you cannot clear by racking the slide!
Best drill I found was using the slide lock to lock the slide open (a clumsy affair) and then removing the magazine. Or rack the slide 14 times. Or fire a mag dump.Or remove the full mag,insert the empty mag you always carry,
and rack the slide. Mag safeties can be dangerous.
I did notice a significant improvement in trigger pull. This was on a circa 1970's MAB PA 15.
IMO,there are enough pistol options available we can "Just say "No!" to mag safeties.
