Many of the S&W M&P series semi's use a trigger in two pieces. A through-pin could (somehow) walk out and cause the bottom half of the trigger to fall away. The gun can still be fired, and the "doorstop" effect would be gone. My M&P guns have polymer triggers, and while none have failed in that way, it probably wouldn't do much to slow somebody down.
(Accuracy is a bit diminished , but....)
I imagine that the rat tail type safety in the Glocks would behave a little better if the rat tail was missing, IMHO, but the blue-hair types would freak if somebody suggested removing it. The M&P is simpler in that respect - one good whack with a hammer on a very small pin and it's gone. Overall handling kinda goes away, though. However, some Crazy Glue holding the bottom half of the trigger in place would take care of that. I suppose you could glue a rat tail in place, too.
Not recommended, but you can remove the nubbin on the frame that relies on the rat tail or half-trigger safeties with a Dremel (I only suggest using them for paint stirring ) and forget the whole thing, but that doesn't change anything in this discussion.
I would like that gadget somebody posted for the Glock on a couple of my M&P's. I think.... I need to think about it a bit.

Re: Glock Glitch ?
As of today I've spoken with four Glock armorers here in SW Ohio. They're all throwing the b.s. flag on this account of how the discharge happened. Responses ranged from " Virtually impossible" to "Are you (blank) ing kidding me?!"
Quit worrying, hide your gun well, shut up, and CARRY that handgun!

It's essentially a non-stressed part. Even the pins holding the breeches in on old Sigs, that directly deal with recoil forces, and are advised for replacement reoutinely, don't come out that often.
