The techniques described herein relate to methods and apparatus for firearm safety mechanisms, visual safety indicators, and related techniques. A firearm includes a handle comprising one or more buttons disposed at least partially within a surface of the handle, such that the one or more buttons can be in contact with an operator's hand when the operator grasps the handle; a safety mechanism in mechanical communication with the trigger. The safety mechanism comprises: a first position that blocks actuation of the trigger; and a second position that does not block actuation of the trigger; and at least one processor configured to: upon determining an input code matches a stored code, transmits a signal to the safety mechanism to change the safety mechanism from the first position to the second position so that the firearm can be fired by the operator.

Systems, devices, and methods are provided, wherein a device is attachable to or integrated in a firearm and includes a plurality of sensors that are each configured to sense a respective attribute of the firearm or of an environment surrounding the firearm, and are further configured to provide corresponding signals based on sensing the respective attribute. The systems, devices, and methods may be configured to determine an event from among a plurality of events based on the corresponding signals provided by the plurality of sensors. Systems that include the device may record event data and transmit the event data to various user systems for situational awareness, record keeping, training, and other organizational or legal-process purposes.

The invention describes a system for or recording the usage of a firearm and helping a user during usage of the firearm using multiple sensors to gather various information. The system includes a plurality of sensors to record various usage and status data of the firearm. The system further includes a communication module communicatively coupled to the sensors. The communication module is further connected to a processor. The system further includes a memory, a clock chip and an information disseminating device that includes a communication port. The plurality of sensors are configured to gather various information about a firearm device that may be a pistol, a revolver, a gun, etc. after being attached to the firearm device. In addition to the operational information, some of the sensors out of the plurality of sensors may gather information about surrounding environment of the firearm like lighting conditions, wind flow etc. to help a user of the firearm device to use it efficiently.

The present disclosure provides a Bluetooth operated lock for a trigger or a sheath. It is designed to limit the users' access to the use of the firearm. The only way to release the lock is through a wireless signal from a cell phone or another remote device. The disclosure includes a band having a first end and a second end configured to form a continuous loop around a firearm handle inside or outside the trigger. The disclosure also includes a locking mechanism connecting the first end and the second end which is operable via a wireless signal. The disclosure additionally includes a blocking mechanism on the band and configured to block a depression of the trigger and operable via the locking mechanism. The disclosure further includes a safety button on the band configured to engage the blocking mechanism when depressed and released via the wireless signal.

A firearm front sight post that is comprised of a camera assembly which captures an image or video, or a series of images or videos of what is in front of the firearm at the instant that the firearm is first fired, and at the instant that each and every subsequent shot is fired. The camera assembly is actuated by a actuation mechanism in communication with the trigger assembly of the firearm, and is activated when the trigger wall is met in the act of pulling the trigger of a firearm. The system is also comprised of a wireless transmitter that automatically sends the image/video from the camera assembly to a mobile application on a smartphone or other smart device, wherein the images/videos are encrypted, time-stamped and dated.

Systems and methods are provided for weapon system monitoring, historical usage analysis, and performance evaluation of a plurality of assets within a deployment location, where each asset of the plurality includes one or more sensors that record operational information of each asset and are used to produce at least one signal, including a server device running application software that uses the signal received from each asset to detect and store situational state data of each asset and performance level data of a party associated with each asset, and a machine learning system that uses the situational state data and the performance level data to determine an operational profile of the party.

A safety device for a firearm provided with a grip and having a latch operated by a motor and adapted to be engaged with mechanical parts of the firearm to prevent and/or allow activation of the firearm is provided. A control unit connected to the motor and supplied by at least one battery has an internal transceiver cooperating with an external transceiver for controlling the latch by an authorized user. A capacitive sensor, operatively connected to the control unit for controlling the latch, is adapted to detect presence of a hand of an authorized user on the grip.

The invention relates to an electronic device that is used to block the accessibility of a firearms Trigger. Wherein an electronic device is mounted on a rail or rail accessory and is locked in place using security screws and tamper proof fasteners allowing the device to fit an array of single action and striker-fired handguns. The security screws are in place to stop easy removal unless the possessor has the proper tool to remove them. The device its self uses a battery to operate and picks up a transmission broadcasted from a Bluetooth within its programmed range by the use of a Bluetooth proximity detector. Once the transmission has been picked up it activates its locking mechanism in the form of a solenoid causing its pin to lift and allows a slide placed in front of the trigger acting as a second trigger to move back and forth allowing the movement of the firearms trigger. The slide is moved back its original position by the use of a spring. When the Bluetooth is out of the device's proximity detectors programmed range the solenoid returns to its locked state stopping access to the trigger. Making the trigger locking device a beneficial reusable safety device.

A device including a body coupled to a magazine receiving area of a firearm and a locking unit that locks a firearm to the body of the device.

The present disclosure relates to the technical field of special locks. The lock structure with improved safety includes a support assembly, a fixed cavity and an unlocking cavity; the fixed cavity is provided with a lock beam; the unlocking cavity is provided with a lockhole and a locking device; the lock beam is threaded into a trigger position of a gun and then into the lockhole and is locked by the locking device; an inner wall of the lockhole extends into the unlocking cavity to form a lockhole ring; a convex rib is arranged on an inner wall of the lockhole ring; a groove is formed in an outer wall of the lock beam; the convex rib and the groove are connected with each other in an embedded manner, so that the lock beam is stabilized in the lockhole ring.
