Disclosed herein are apparatuses, systems, methods, and machine readable media for activating a portable camera in response to the activity of a firearm, and for implementing and using a system for identifying an individual who discharged a firearm, and for recording, assessing, identifying, and transmitting information related to the firing of a firearm, and for monitoring the status of an implement at a mount, and for using a charging device for delivering electrical power to components of a firearm. A communications channel may be established between a firearm telematics sensor and a video camera, sometimes by means of intermediary devices. A communications channel may be established between a mount (e.g., holster) telematics device and local and/or remote monitoring service components, sometimes by means of intermediary devices. When the telematics sensor detects that its associated firearm is removed from its holster, or in motion, or being discharged, it may signal the camera to initiate recording. When the telematics device detects that its associated firearm is removed from its holster, the change in status can be reported to the local and/or remote system.

A disconnector for pistols having a trigger bar uses a body rotatably mounted on the pistol frame to permit or prevent engagement between the trigger bar and the pistol's sear. The body has a plurality of surfaces, one of which engages the trigger bar and pivots it between a safe orientation, out of alignment with the pistol's sear, and a fire orientation, aligned with the sear, when the body rotates between a safe position and a fire position. Another body surface engages the slide, the body being rotated into the safe position when the slide is out of battery. Another surface engages a grip safety and another surface engages a manual safety. Both safeties effect rotation of the body between the safe and fire positions when they are actuated.

A tactical device has a barrel having a first end, a second end, and a through hole that extends between the first end and a second end. A barrel housing has a first end, a second end and a through hole that extends between the first end and the second end. The barrel second end is configured to be inserted into the barrel housing first end and is axially moveable with respect to the barrel housing. A firing pin is mounted in the barrel housing through hole proximate the barrel housing second end and has a protrusion that extends toward the barrel housing first end. The tactical device has a safety means for maintaining the barrel in a first position in which the firing pin is spaced apart from the barrel second end.

A user identification assembly for a firearm includes a sight configured for use on said firearm. The sight being positioned on said firearm to provide a point of aim to a user. A light source is disposed on the sight and projects toward the user in a direction opposite the point of aim. An image sensor is disposed on the sight and is configured to capture image data of an object. The image sensor is configured to identify the user of said firearm. A controller is in communication with the image sensor and is configured to allow operation of said firearm based on the captured image data.
