The only gun I presently have with a magazine disconnect is a Sig 1911-22, which I may end up selling in lieu of something else that does not have this feature. Other than the magazine disconnect, the only other feature of the gun I don't like is the lack of a "speed bump" on the grip safety.
The "speed bump" makes for more positive engagement when you grip the pistol.
Here's a picture of one of my 1911s. You can see the grip safety with a "speed bump" to the far right of the pistol. You cannot pull the trigger until the bottom of the grip safety is depressed. This is accomplished merely by getting a proper firing grip on the pistol.
