Would you use this gun lock? Please put your opinion in the comments! Edit: This is the first video I've posted that lost me subscribers. I wonder what I said.
I think I stumbled upon some videos in which some people didn't seem to like the _"fluff"_ about "my gun is empty" within the comments. There was this one video I watched where the guy said in the video that: "of course my gun is loaded; why else would I own a gun". Your mileage may vary. Personally, I usually make sure it's empty.
I tried to get them to send one so I could review it. This was when the product first came out. But they wouldn't talk to me. I'm sorry to see they went out of business.
Yes, I'm going to get ahold of one of those. Out of the blue, I decided to look up GunBox to see what they were up to, and I discovered the company name change or rebrand, or whatever it is. Give me another month to scrape together some cash, and I'll take a.look at one.
@@HandgunSafe It reminds me of what people told me about avoiding steel brush for barrel cleaning, and to prefer less abrasive material such as brass or even synthetic to avoid metal on metal contact.
Cool video, cool lock. Wouldn’t buy or use it though. It seems very specific, caliber, barrel length etc. you need a diff lock for every variation of Glock
What do you think would happen if someone inserted it into a gun with too long of a barrel, and tried to force it into the locked position? I feel like that sounds like a recipe for disaster; especially if someone panics and tries to pull it out right after.
(unaltered) Does it still drag/catch if you let gravity drag it off of the gun? Do you think that retention mech/fit can be altered/rounded to mitigate this? It looks (to me) like they made the blunt plastic piece slightly larger than the tip so that on insertion it the metal (tube) cannot hit the barrel, and doesn't drag directly on the barrel wall; But I would anticipate this plastic wearing down and exposing the metal anyways (though the thin film of plastic that would stretch/smear across it would offer some protection). A slightly tapered end _could_ -retain- 'enhance' this functionality while mitigating the precision needed to insert it, and drag on removal when the tube isn't perfectly supported/aligned by/with the barrel.
I'm not responding to your whole comment. The problem with altering the shape of the retaining pieces, as far as I can tell, is that the last half or quarter-inch of drawing out the rod is where the rod is unlikely to come out straight. You only need to put a slight, hair-like mark in the end of the barrel to change how the gasses escape the barrel--and the aim is off. Look at all the efforts manufacturers have gone to in order to produce beveled, recessed muzzles, often fitting barrels with sleeves that can be replaced. It's just too freak'n easy to ruin a barrel.

This is a great lock to keep someone from inadvertently using your Chapman screwdriver handle to unintentionally pry a vault off of the wall 😂
Before watching the video, my first though upon seeing the thumbnail was: looks like a luggage lock.
No way will I use this.
The Zore-X is a much better design. So glad I bought one before they went out of business.

I'd use that when storing the gun in a case or vehicle, but not when carrying it.
Neat design concept!
And no- I wouldn’t use that device. Makes no sense.
Love your channel- great info.
Still want to see you test a GunBox- which is now called Konig I believe.

@@HandgunSafe sweet!!! I’ll be on the lookout!
I think GunBox was struggling and had to sell- just my thoughts.
I am just like you on this. I'm kind of persnickety about bores and crowns.
The company says the steel in the lock is not hardened to the standards for gun barrels, but it just doesn't seem right to me.

The Safe GunLock website has a section for you to look up your gun and see if they have a lock already made for it.
No way. Your points were spot on. Those tiny retention clips, would it prevent racking the slide or just make even more damage to the feed entrance?
The lock prevents you from chambering a round, because the end of it occupies the chamber.

I don't know. Would probably scratch the barrel.

this looks like a bad lock that would damage your firearm. pass!
Like to see lock picking lawyer take a crack at it.
You mean the channel that was inspired by this guy when he was still on Vimeo?
He only attacks locks he can pick. He has to keep entertaining the rabble.
