Folks- I've been observing the action of my new M&P. One of things the manual explains is that you need to make sure to drop the sear disconnect before field stripping. One thing I've noticed is that you can do it this way:
1) Lock slide back
2) Check empty, check empty
3) Rotate take down lever
4) Slowly move slide back to "normal" position on frame
5) Hold slide while pulling trigger (safe direction of course)
6) Slide comes off
Is this ok? Is this the only function of the sear disconnect? If so it seems like extra parts not needed to me.
