So my wife somehow found this product online, and thinks it is the greatest thing since sliced bread. I think she was about to order some until I explained why I didn't need it, wouldn't use it, and it would put us in more danger by using it.
After explaining Red, Amber, and Green status, and training / repetition drills... I knew it still wasn't clicking. So I dropped the mag and cleared my XD9 and handed it to her. Told her to imagine there was a magazine in, and the safety bullet was in the chamber, and that she needed to shoot a threat right now so she better rack the slide, thus ejecting the safety bullet and loading an actual round. Finally she understood. But I figured GD would love this little gem, so without further aduo.... http://www.safetybullet.com/ |
| Am I missing something? I don't have that much experience with pistols, but why can't you just load a full mag and not rack the slide to get the same effect? Not to mention the possibility that you will forget the safety bullet is in there in a high stress situation and lock you gun up while some bad guy is breaking down your door. |

So, if you get into a gun battle with a badguy, and you accidently activate your Safety Bullet and lock up your gun......
and you can't find your "Ram".... I suppose the gunfight will be ended with the badguy laughing himself into a stupor watching you run around yelling....."A STICK.....SOMEBODY FIND ME A STICK....."

So is he saying the "Safety Bullet" makes it OK to leave a loaded handgun (mag loaded) that is accessible to kids as long as it has his little majic bullet???
WRONG!!! My kids 7-2, both boys, know not to touch any firearm without me being present but I still wouldn't leave one with a loaded mag where they could get to it. In a bedside safe? Yes, if mine isn't on me or in the primary safe it is in the bedside safe. Not to mention as everyone else has, cycling a slide once or twice or indexing a cylinder once or twice just MIGHT get you killed at 3 am. ...I wish I had a clever face palm image to post

yeah first time I heard about this crap I was listening to "Bubba the love sponge" on 93 Rock. Dumbest shit on radio, I'd rather get sodomized with a toilet brush than listen to that fat fuck again. Some guy had broken into his car and taken his gun that he left there but he got it back when the cops busted the guy in the act. Some guy called in recommending it to him because he sold them but it just sounded so stupid that I felt like calling in and steering him away from it.. then I remembered that bubba is a libtard and talk radio sucks so fuck it. Give me music back on my morning commute dammit! |

Anyone who actually needs one of these shouldn't have a gun in the first place. The need for it displays a lack of training, skill and mindset, and such a lack will inevitably lead them to panicking when attacked and forgetting the safety bullet, thus rendering their gun worthless. I can see a legit use for the safety block, and that is for nightstand or pocket use with a Glock or Glock copy. Anytime you're going to be reaching for the gun but know you're going to have to grope for it, specially half awake, the trigger should be blocked or covered until you have a proper grip. Of course a holster works too. |

That's the stupidest fucking thing I've ever seen. I saw the American people elect a motherfucking terrorist Muslim President of the United States while we are at war with motherfucking Muslim terrorists, and I think THIS is the stupidest thing I have ever seen. |
Do you mind if I use that?

It isn't safe. For you. The EASIEST thing to remember is never leave a loaded firearm out of your control. And lock up all others. This safety bullet can wind up hurting you because it renders a firearm inoperative and must be cycled. Who is to say a child won't cycle the action, REMOVING this "safety"? And if the child sees the ejected cartridge is this BS safety thing, thinks the next round is also and pulls the trigger? Make something idiot proof and they will come out with a dumber idiot. Nothing beats proper training. |

In the video, they recommend having one safety bullet in the chamber, and one in the mag for exactly this reason. On the website they list a number of magazine articles this was featured in. If those articles aren't openly mocking the saftey bullet, I think that list is a good start of magazines to avoid and never read. |

VIDEO IS PRETTY VIOLENT
Here's the big problem with this idea: http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=086_1260862712 Note the shop owner was carrying Condition Three and died trying to chamber a round. adrenaline dump screws up gross motor skills. |

patent for something similar: |

Here is an ideal, but it goes against my doctrine.
"DON'T KEEP ONE IN THE CHAMBER!" Personally, I always keep one in the chamber, except my shotgun which is kept "cruiser safe". I gotta at least give the BG a chance. If he doesn't run after I rack the slide, I'm lighting his ass up.

That has got to be the most dangerous thing I have ever seen.....for the simple fact that if you DID have an intruder in your house, and you forgot to rack the slide to eject that "safety bullet", now when you pull the trigger, the gun it going to lock up on you....are you are DEAD!!!
Oh, but maybe the bad guy will wait until you pull out your special rod and pop the safety bullet out of the chamber....... Who the hell thought of that??? |
