Yet another reason to carry an extra mag. My first thought too. I've never lost one but I have had the mag release on my BUG (P3AT, weak side back pocket). I got some emery boards and am going to file down the release so it's more flush. What kind of holster are you using? I would definitely look into the cause and fix it instead of just hoping it doesn't happen again. Is it possible that it wasn't seated properly to begin with? |

I know a cop that was in a shoot out with one round in his gun because of this. (gun was in his briefcase) He was lucky. Beretta 92. 2 is 1, 1 is none. I remember seeing two officers at my old dept. walking into roll call one after the other––––both of them had the mags popped on their G21s. As in, release had been hit, mag was slightly out. Would have dropped upon the weapon being fired. Probably more likely with the batman belts than with regular IWB/OWB carry, but something to pay attention to. After any action that might have resulted in my weapon being struck against something or the like, I check that the mag is seated properly as soon as I am able to do so discreetly. |

Even worse if you have a mag safety. Yeah. When I bought my M&P9c it turned out it came with a mag safety and limited capacity 10 rd mags. I didn't know I had a choice until my brother bought one with no mag safety and full 12 rd mags. Of course I have bought 12 rd mags but the mag safety bugs me a little. |

I know you could remove the mag disconnect from the 3rd gen S&W's, I would be surprised if you could not remove it from the M&P line as well. I would think you could find a how to on the net someplace. |

I couldn't find any instructions. |

Quoted: Even worse if you have a mag safety. I still don't get the reasoning behind the whole mag-safety thing. It seems to me like it has much more opportunity to cause problems than it solves. Additional and unnecessary safeties also have a tendency to breed bad habits in some shooters. |

When I used to carry my Keltec, it would happen constantly. I have since stopped carrying it all together.
as for the "batman" belts, I've never once had that happen. I only use quality holsters (safariland) that have specially molded grooves that leave room for the mag release |
