Is there really a market for these bioguns?

From my perspective, the most important thing about a gun is that it goes bang every time. To me, electronics reduces that chance that it works. If not now, how about in 50 years from now. I recall a story 15-20 years ago in SFGate.com about a man who bought a revolver in the 60s and hadn’t lubed it or anything since the early 70s and kept it in a rag under his bed. There was an intruder the he shot and the revolver still worked. Don’t think you could trust this to work in 30 years down the road. Being an early Gen Xer, I had pretty much all I needed by the early 1990s. I suggest folks who want to avoid having to worry about what the CA politicians are going to do to get those 5 or so firearms we all talk about being the most important and don’t worry what happens.

Not someone who would actually use it for self defense. This is someone who would put the smart gun in a safe and the ammo in a different safe and they will never touch

Your pw must contain an upper case, lower case, number, and special character, and no more than 10 characters.

I'm just not impressed, and the reason given for making small cap mags with a massive gun is that they're limited by Colorado law. Why would you manufacture in a state that limits you? Is the founder stupid? Obviously he's done well enough to get all these massive investments

Not to mention $1500 is steep for a handgun meant only for home defense. Might as well pickup those P211s...

I can't wait to fumble around for my phone because my gun has 2FA permanently enabled

Didn't realize how long this has been junk vaporware:

Next version will have a Flock camera pointed at the person holding the gun so AI can let LE know when you go out and shoot your gun.

And kind of has that Judge Dredd look/feel to it....

I think it's cool. Looks like a gun out of cyberpunk 2077. If it wasn't 1500 (so ~2k+ after taxes, shipping, ffl transfer fee, dros) I honestly might've bought it. As it stands there's much better things I could spend 2k usd on.

Yoo this thing is $1500?

I was thinking maybe I'll get one as an experiment for $500 but $1500 is real gun money.

If you want the cooler looking black/white color scheme it's actually 1600.

Anybody ever hear of iPhones? My facial ID screws up if I'm wearing a helmet, goggles, or the light isn't right. Fingerprint ID fails if you're a man who works on dirty machines, or if you've been drinking a beer on a hot day and your finger is wet with condensation. If you're finger is wet from something else, keep it away from your phone. That's gross. Maybe this no-name gun company is able to make electronics better than trillion-dollar Apple, but I doubt it.

Also kind of a rough thought but I’ve seen this happen with electronics before. If they go out of business and stop supporting the gun, eventually the battery will go bad or some part will fail and then you just have a bricked device that can’t be repaired

lol that’s why I think this will never make any real money beyond a small niche. It’s marketed more for a casual owner that’s not really into guns because hardcore owners will mostly reject something like this and stick to their HK’s and other expensive guns.

While the majority of casual and novice owners would not pay that kind of money when they can get a $400 Glock or canik etc…

...or every new version will require a new, different charging cable. Of course, planned obsolescence will lead to the old version suddenly not working well with no new updates, so please get the newest version. Then you'll have a bedside drawer full of bricked smart guns and their accompanying cables and charging docks... #donglegatetwopointoh #lookingatyouapple

*"$2000 Glock. Like new. Off-roster. Incredibly rare. Only like a box of fired through it. Safe queen. No lowballers. I know what I've got. No body armor."

There, I fixed it for you!
