My first question would be ..."Who would know?"
Why not get your congressman to call the Attorney General and ask ....... if it's like my state a regular citizen can't contact the AG it has to be a stare legislator....
I know, I was just making a joke.... I think you would be best to find a NY firearms forum and ask the folks on it. Or at least be more specific in the title to this post.

I have never heard that it's illegal to remove a magazine disconnect from a firearm.There are a lot of Browning HiPowers that I have seen without them(mine included). You can call the NY State police firearms division and ask them if you're that worried about it.

This site: http://smartgunlaws.org/design-safety-standards-for-handguns-policy-summary/ says:
23. Pistols must have a "positive, manual or automatically operated safety device to prevent firing." Double-action revolvers must have a "safety feature, that when the trigger is in its most forward position, automatically allows the firing pin to retract to where it does not connect the primer of a cartridge." N.Y. Comp. Codes R. & Regs. tit. 9, § 482.5(f).

It seems in my non-expert opinion that not having some sort of safety is a problem in NY but not necessarily any particular one.
There are plenty of arguments online for any given feature of a firearm - some would say that the only safety you need is your brain or your finger (or a combination thereof) and that any mechanical safety is needlessly complicating what should be a very simple device and could interfere with your ability to use that tool effectively in an emergency. Others recognize that you will need to handle your firearm many hundreds of times while carrying, cleaning, practicing, etc, and that having some feature or features designed for safety are beneficial and reduce the chances that you might accidentally shoot yourself or someone else.

No reason you can't remove the magazine disco parts for your own use of that firearm. If you were to sell it, then make sure it gets re-installed as I think there might be a requirement for "point of sale" as far as the magazine disco is concerned. It's one of those CYA deals. :lol:
