Was on Beretta's web site and noticed they'd said "Maryland has recently approved use of the OMEGA GUNLOCK for sale with handguns sold in the state of Maryland. Find Out More." So I clicked on that "Find Out More" link, and read about State of Maryland fell in love with some gun lock called Omega, and was happy enough to let Beretta sell their guns as long as they were bundled with this lock...
This Omega lock looks kinda neat, it's shaped like a cartridge that goes into your chamber. You insert a key(looks like a hex/allen wrentch to me) from either the breach or the muzzle into this thing, and turn so the fake cartridge expands, and become stuck in your chamber. I immediately thought about revolvers. Wheel guns got more than one chamber, so you'd need a lock for each hole in the cylinder, right? No, as the web site says the revolver lock goes THROUGH the cynlinder, into the barrel, and will freeze the whole thing when applied. Just how this is done is what I wanna find out. Do you put the fake cartridge into the chamber and pull the trigger, so the firing pin knocks the thing into the barrel? Or does the key which entered from the muzzle, turn the thing so it expands AND elongates(similar to the reaction of a part on a man's body when he sees a naked woman
) so it'd enter the barrel? On their web site they got Quicktime video demonstrations for rifles, semiautos, and shotguns. No revolver demo. Hummmmm.....
If this little gadget can keep those slick lawyers happy, and take their paws off of forcing guns all come with internal locks, I'd be more than grateful. Ruger, Smith, Taurus, and any other gun maker with an internal lock fetish, follow this lead, get rid of your internal locks. You got a good excuse now...
