The first so-called “smart gun” has hit the shelves at U.S. retail outlets, including one of the biggest firearms stores in California, according to the Washington Post.
The Smart System iP1, a .22-caliber pistol made by the German gun-maker Armatix GmbH, can only function with an accompanying wristwatch, which is sold separately.
When the RFID-equipped watch is activated by a PIN number and placed near the gun — like when a shooter grips the handle — it sends a signal to unlock the gun and a light on the back of the weapon turns green, according to the report. Otherwise, the firearm stays locked and the light on the back remains red, it stated.
The pistol sells for $1,399 and the watch retails for another $399 — more than double the cost of .40-caliber Glock handgun, according to the article.
The company is betting that demand for the technology will increase as consumers seek guns modified for safety.

I saw an interesting (there, I said it) model 91 come into the local shop. A lady who’s husband had passed brought it for info and an appraisal. It had very nice wood, which I thought strange. The guy doing the appraisal is a mil-surp expert and it was a captured gun from the Winter War that thad been refurbished by the Finns and remarked. It was in great shape.
Quit dissing my Cult!

I assume it was used as a club at some point in its life.
The rest of the rifle is great. Mine was made in 1897.
Ohhh...Mama!
1800.00 for one “smart” gun? That’s 3 new dumb Glocks that can be dragged through mud, soaked in water, put in a paint shaker, and still go bang when the trigger’s pulled.
This is one case where dumb>smart.
