I was all jiggy about one but they told me they were having issues about the patent. We had to temporarily suspend the sales of the Redi-Catch as the attorneys are sorting out a possible patent infringement issue. |

It's been getting noticed again. Been on the market for awhile and largely passed over simply because everyone wants New!.

That someone would poke a stick in the spokes of commerce shouldn't be surprising. |

I'm guessing that the most likely candidate would be the "A REV Engineering Firearm Control Device," which was "patent pending" last I heard (when it was released), but has long since been defunct and I haven't seen anything similar besides the Redi-Catch released from anyone.
Kind of a shame if that's the case, since you can no longer get the FCD - I wish I'd gotten a couple when they were available, and now I can't get one. Never really liked the exposed spring of the Redi-Catch compared to the beefy and idiot-proof looking FCD. 
A photograph of IIRC, an earlier prototype that resembles the Redi-Catch more closely, and makes the possible basis for patent infringement more obvious - "prior art" and all, etc. 
The Redi-Catch for comparison:
