FYI: new proposed "safety" device

The modification raises the amount of trigger pressure from the factory amount of 4-5 lb. to slightly over 12 lb. and provides the owner the time to think, by increasing the amount of pull (more than the hand strength of a child) required to break the pin as is necessary to fire the first shot.

Yes, when my life is milliseconds from being snuffed out, that is exactly what I need...time to think.
What will I think?
"Why did my first shot go 2 feet low? Why did the BGs shot just go into my chest?"
"Gee, I wish I hadn't installed a 12-pound "safety" pin in my dang trigger"?
"Gee, I'm glad I bought that insurance policy...the wife will be well taken care of."

This is a shining example of why 50% of small businesses fail within 24 months.
I hope he betters this timeframe by 18 months. Or better yet, 23.

So this is non-removable by the owner? And it was presented as a child-safety device, but when I check it out it's going to prevent me from making a quick and accurate first shot if I ever need to protect myself or a family member??? Not...interested.
 
So let me get this straight...heavy first pull, lighter pull thereafter....

Hasn't this been done by every p38, CZ75, Ruger P-series, Walther PPK, and Sig for around 50 years now? If that's what you want...isn't that what you should buy?
 
He could make a fortune...as long as someone passes a law mandating this unnecessary device.

With safety as with accurate shooting: there is no device that takes the place of good training and good practice. Period.
 
What an ignorant idea. Oh well. If a gun came with it, pull the trigger once, clean it, and its like it never had it. So mandating it would only make guns safer for people who never practiced or function tested.
 
Just sent the guy an e-mail letting him know of all his mis information. we'll see if i get a response
 
Did you notice the photo of a sampling of the "safety" pins?

Nothing like a little rust to add to the character of your firearms. Oh, and what would "just drilling" a hole do to the manufacturers' warranties...not to mention your firearm.

He will probably make a fortune off the uneducated and uninformed irresponsible people.....

UNTIL!

A 8 Year Old Surpasses his Childproof Device and accidentally shoots someone!

THEN!

A Lawyer will sue him on behalf of the Victim or (relatives) take all his riches and put him in prison.

Wow!... looks like they come in Blue & Rust And Stainless Appearance!
 
I've never heard someone pro-gun have to say "they are experienced" with firearms. This seems to be a common anti-gun tactic to put one at ease right before they try to make some antigun statement or put some ridiculous safety device you don't want in your gun.

At least its easily removed. I am curious though, where do all the pieces go?
 
They are advising people to commit a felony!

I wonder if these guys even have an FFL? They are advising people to commit a felony by mailing, by USPO, the frame of a handgun to them labeled as parts only! THE FRAME IS THE GUN!

From the OP:

The Post Office cautions mailers not to send a complete gun; the barrel and slide must be removed! The USPO will accept frames only and mailed as parts only. See the website for complete details on shipping guns to be equipped with the device.

From their website:

Do not attempt to ship complete gun, the barrel and slide must be removed! The USPO will accept frames only and mailed as parts only, packed in their small flat rate box. Be sure to insure package. Improved Guns can perform this simple operation without the cost of having dealers do it.

Well, neither Lanny nor his corporation hold an FFL. So in addition to asking people to violate one Federal law, using USPS to mail a handgun, he is also asking them to violate another if they are outside Florida. Plus he is violating the law by practicing gun-smithing with out a license. And then he will commit another crime by sending the gun back. Plus if he is using a buddy, with an FFL, to receive the handgun, then we have a conspiracy charge.

So how many felonies are we talking about here?
 
When their device fails in a real-world situation, which I'm guessing it will, they will most likely be the liable party.

I'm not to sure how well this product and associated legal risks were thought out.

That, and I abhor fear-based selling.
 
It can reasonably be argued that a defense gun should have a heavier trigger.

However, depending on a metal pin to break is not the answer. Metal pin bits rattling around in your gun is a bad thing.

It's also dangerously irresponsible to depend on such a device to childproof a gun.

I'm not sure about that "reasonably" part. :scrutiny:
 
This is ridiculous on so many levels, I don't even know where to begin. :rolleyes: How about at the most fundamental level, that children supposedly can't pull a 12 lb trigger? In fact, they can, using every finger they can fit in the trigger guard if they have to, or their thumbs with the muzzle pointed right at their own faces.
