Safety Bullet

[Ken]

Anyone ever hear of the "Safety Bullet?" What do you think of this gadget?

Are you talking about the extremely franible bullet that won't penetrate walls?

[Pal334]

" Yet if your child finds your firearm and pulls the trigger, if you have a Safety Bullet® installed, your gun just became instantly disabled. "

Kind of a unique Idea. Never heard of it though

[glockcop]

Looks like a solution for an imaginary problem IMO. Safe weapon storage and home gun locks have been working for years when the concept is properly applied. This looks like something to get the "wrong guy" killed when the confusion of life and death combat is at hand. Just my thoughts. Yall be safe.

[crashdive123]

I don't like it. If you have kids, this, IMO does not constitute safe storage. The claims that the "bad guy" won't be able to shoot you with your weapon are a bit over the top I believe. If a "bad guy" came across a weapon that had the safety bullet chambered - do you think he wouldn't try and chamber a round by racking the slide? As Glockcop says too - in the heat/confusion of the moment..... Not a good idea IMO.

[Old GI]

Didn't some political hack say something about we need safer bullets last year some time?

[Sarge47]

I'll have you all know that I ALWAYS use Safety Bullets in my firearms.. they're the ones designed to keep ME safe!

[Rick]

Actually.....it looks like a sensible idea to me. With one exception.

If you have a firearm for home safety and kids then you know how important something like a trigger safety or slide safety is. However, I have to guess it's pretty difficult to remove a trigger lock or slide lock in the dark when the adrenalin is flowing; a.k.a. someone is coming in through the locked front door. This product seems like a pretty good solution to that problem.

The only exception I can see is mistakenly pulling the trigger in the heat of the moment and disabling your own weapon. I suppose, like everything else, it requires practice.

Just on the surface and with no other knowledge than that which was presented on their web page, I'd have to say it has merit.

Sorry, not for me, looks like one more addition to Murphy's law.

[2dumb2kwit]

I don't like it.
Looks like one more attempt, to remove people from responsibility.

[pocomoonskyeyes]

No offense to anyone,but it seems as if some of you didn't watch the videos.These videos explain how it works. I think Rick watched it and I have to agree it does have some merit,especially when two "safety bullets" are used. When one of them is "fired" it locks up the firearm disabling it, Until proper corrective action is employed. In some ways(maybe used with a locking device) it would be even safer I would think.

[2dumb2kwit]

Did you REALLY mean to type "byte," 2dumb?

Actually sir, I did.
You see....that is how the member that I was speaking of, spells his name.

Had I spelled it another way, crash may have gotten the wrong idea, and moved my post.

[2dumb2kwit]

Using that line of thinking, not having a gun at all, would be even safer.

It comes down to, do you want a usable/loaded gun, or not. If you do...why disable it. If you don't, then why have one.
(I don't mean you personally...I mean people in general.)

[Rick]

Oh, I don't know. You disable because you don't want your kids to poke an eye out. Even you are not 2Dumb to leave a loaded weapon around where there are kids....are you?

So you put a trigger guard on it and then go searching for the key in the middle of the night when that stranger is walking down the hallway. Good luck.

Snap. Dang it! I forgot that safety bullet was in there..........

[pocomoonskyeyes]

How kind of you, 2dumb! You called me "sir!"

"Sir" must have been a very difficult word for you to spell. I'm proud of you, 2dumb! You spelled the word correctly on your first try!

(Crash, I think that 2dumb deserves a lot of credit for his efforts. Do you agree? )

Glad to see you are feeling better Ken!! Just don't go straining yourself now ya' hear?

[Ken]

No strain, no gain, poco!

[2dumb2kwit]

See...that's kinda my point. I'm not leaving a loaded (or un-loaded)gun in a place to be used by the wrong person, whether it has a safty bullet (or two) in it, or not.

Do you really think that a "safety bullet" is kid proof?

[Boker]

These have great practical joke potential. Not so sure about their designated purpose though.

[Rick]

Well, if you and the Mrs. walk and your kid is ramming a rod down the barrel of your .45 then the both of you will probably have some 'splanin' to do to the little lady. But, at least the kid is still 'splanin'. He probably won't be sittin' for a spell but he'll still be able to 'splain'.

Well....if you left safety bullets, and only safety bullets in it, it would be a way to test the kids, I guess.
