The last shot can be fired by pushing the mag safety bar up into the handle, as the mag itself would. Cursory examination of this system leads me to believe that the entire mag safety bar could be removed, eliminating the problem entirely. My problem with it is that the safety prevents the action from being opened/worked for diagnostic reasons. It takes three hands to dry-cycle these pistols!
The 1968 regulations seem anemic in comparison to what is currently happening: Knee-jerk, irrational, dogmatic, emotional, panic-inspired legislation. Of the more than a hundred million legal gun owners in the U.S., a
literal handful have caused problems of a scope we're hearing about today. This aspect, whereby the millions in the barrel suffer because of the actions of a tiny minority of bad apples, really galls me. I think I'm not alone in feeling personally insulted by what's going on; these are such times when we see just how ignorant and unjustifiably biased our lawmakers can be.
