this is quite interesting: Actually looks promising for someone with kids.

You can buy a year's worth (or for some people, a lifetime supply) of condoms for that price.
Easier to gun proof the kids than kid proof the gun.

I just said it was interesting and interesting technology. But, if you ever do need a quick access gun lock, admit it, this look promising

Really cool. The watchdog alone could have uses beyond just on guns--stick it in a cabinet for example on the inside, knowing if somebody opens it.
The x is cool. If you don't want to lose any time or have any risk of a problem, leave it in mode 1 but you'll still know if somebody fiddles with your gun. and the locking mode seems really neat. I have never heard of a lock that works like that with the clicking concept.

I'm not a fan of locks but if I had to use one, I would get this if it was cheaper.

So what do you do when you're notified someone is tampering with your gun in your home, and you're an hour away?

When I was growing up, the guns were mostly kept in a cabinet that didn't even have a door. A couple of the ones we used frequently were kept by the back door.
When I was young, we knew not to touch them without an adult, as we grew that rule relaxed, but we always knew to respect them, because they were always treated with respect by the adults.
Locks can be defeated, a parents job is not to protect their children from the world, but to prepare them for it.
Best gun lock is education... Teach the kids about what a REAL gun, or any gun can do, ie, destroy! Education, respect, knowledge! There is no substitute! Gun locks are just feel good BS for people who can't effectuate the above! But those same people have even bigger problems with their kids, like they don't listen, do what they want, etc.
When my son became curious about guns, my guns, I sat him down at the kitchen table and we had a nice talk. I let him touch, handle, see the gun(s) to remove the mystery. I also explained that at ANY time he wanted to do it again, I would do it with him, no problems. Along with the discussion came stern warnings and explanations about what can happen if fooling around with guns, what to do if ever present when someone else was, what to do if one was found, what to do if ever one was trying to be used against him. Yes, I taught him some basic SD about guns too. Anyways... Knowledge is power! Both my children have shot my firearms, both liked it, both do pretty well with them, both don't have their own, but both know and respect guns, what they are, what they represent, what they can do!
That is all that is needed! Don't need no stinking locks to make someone else feel good that somehow or another protection exists for the insanely stupid creatures allowed to breathe here on this earth!

Wise words. We were camping and I took my ccw off to wash up and brush my teeth. I put my ccw on the kitchen sink in my camper. My younger son looked at it and said dad is that your gun. I said yes what are you going to do about it. He said never touch it. I said yes, but if your curious let me know and I'll make the gun safe and you can handle it. Sometimes if you take the curiosity out they won't touch them. Also every time I go to my parents to shoot I go over the gun rules with my kids.

Adults trusting kids is how bad things happen. Teach them the right thing, but always have a backup. Even if your kids were okay (assuming you had any), it doesn't mean your kid's asshole friend won't touch them. My kids aren't going to become a statistic because adults are projecting "common sense" to immature and irrational kids.

Don't have kids, I was talking about my own childhood.
By all means lock them up if you have kids that aren't responsible enough to handle them, but your goal should be to fix the kids, not keep the guns inaccessible till they move out.
Locking the guns up is obviously a good idea for several reasons, but you should be working towards your kids having the combination.

Yeah they look promising alright - promising to make that company a mint. Lets see, 13 pistols (if I was unlucky enough to own that many and my guess would be that many on these forums do own that many) times $169 for each Zorex without the bridge would be: $1937 (not including sales tax or shipping). With the bridge for each, the cost would rise to $2,179 (again without sales tax or shipping ) and that is their so called pre-order price. Even their Zore Watchdog is pretty expensive considering that the same amount of them would cost $767. That would just be for a baker's dozen of pistols. What about the 25 or 30 rifles you have once they develop them for long guns?
They also look like some decent technology but the proof is in the pudding so to speak and the pudding is not yet set on the table for tasting. So, without any peer reviews of the product and without a lower price, I am fairly certain I will wait for both before I buy even one of them. I will add, they would be of little use to me as a deterrent for children as my kids are both adults now but I do see the utility of using them on a pistol left locked in a gym locker, left locked in a car (where legal) or something along those lines.
All the best,

Wondering if because of the weight of this thing, would it place a force on the extractor which would cause the extractor to weaken and eventually fail? Assuming the "bullet" section which fits into the chamber has some kind of ring or ridge which the extractor grasps onto, just like a live round when in battery.
