How about magazine disconnect safties?
|
Apparently some cops like the magazine disconnect safety in case the perp gets his gun.
Release the mag and the gun is useless.

I've put some thought into this and yes it could very well be a double edged sword.
Situation 1: You're fighting with the bad guy for control of your gun, you drop magazine, let go and immediately go for your backup gun, knife, or can o'whoopass.
Situation 2: You're fighting with the bad guy for control of your gun, you drop magazine, he lets go and the first thing you will want to do is shoot him but you can't!
I've also heard the argument that with a 1911 on safe, a bad guy can get your gun and "might" not know how to unsafe it and you commence on plan B. I wouldn't put much credence in this one. Just sounds too ify.
I think the most "propietary" pistol would be the HK P-7 series because of the squeeze cocker, its a rare enough pistol that somone wouldn't know to squeeze the cocker. Too bad P-7s are $1000+
