Biometric Pistol

https://youtu.be/2cRm9BMxl90

Forgotten Weapons video on the Biofire smart home defense pistol.

Watch with an open mind, remembering its meant for a very specific and limited target market and use case. Basically, you want a bedside pistol ready for instant use, but your bedside is accessible to children, their friends, housemates, etc who you cannot 100% trust, so the gun has to work for only you and perhaps your spouse.

You’ll get all the details in the video, but
- Fingerprint sensor and facial recognition, operating redundantly (either one suffices), including in the dark, left handed version available.
- Grip sensors keep the gun active if you take your finger off the sensor or the camera loses sight of your face (reload, cycle action, etc) but deactivate it if you cease gripping the gun (put it down, have it taken away from you, etc)
- Can register multiple authorized users, and remove them.
- 9 mm, 15 round
- Action type unclear from the video (not a tilting barrel)

For a reason that I won’t go into, I can no longer have guns in my house, with the exception of my 22 target pistol that has to stay in a locked case in the garage, and isn’t going to be much use if something bad happens. This gun might fill the need. Looking forward to its release and then real world feedback.

I can think of a few other use cases. Police, prison guards, car gun, etc.

Obviously some gun control implications, but with Bruen they are out the window anyway.
