seems interesting. However in the heat of the moment that an intruder comes in will you have time to rack your gun? will you remember to? will it be any faster than removing a safety?

i have to keep my guns locked up now so this would be MUCH faster than finding the key, unlocking the gun cabinet and so on. as far as your statement about removing the safety, i would never leave a loaded firearm within reach of my children with or without a safety. i have a 7 year old, 3 year old, and a 2 year old. while the 7 year old is old enough to talk to about guns and the danger involved the other two aren't.

My first thought is NOOOOO. Initially sounded good, but if you accidentally pull the trigger or some one else did and you didn't know about it there is no way you are going to be able to use that gun for protection.

No way. It could get YOU killed. Keep a live round in the tube and CARRY THE GUN. That way the kids won't get it. Lock the other guns up if you have to.

of course

and that statement wasnt really directed at you per say, more like me thinking out loud. I dont have the kids just yet (first one on the way, due oct 21st) and while i dont consider myself an idiot, in a moment's notice i may forget that i have that safety bullet in the chamber.

How is it better than simply keeping empty chamber?

Another solution to non-existent prob, methinks.

i guess the reasoning behind it is that if the trigger is pulled then the gun is useless til fixed, as with leaving the chamber empty all you would need to do is rack it? I wouldn't put it past any child to figure out how to rack the slide... just a matter of if they're strong enough i guess.

I thought you got the "safety bullet" out by racking the slide anyway?
If not, how DO you get it out? Disassemble the weapon?
