The world’s first ever “smart-gun” that features a life-saving fingerprint unlocking feature hit the market this week.

The 9mm handgun from Biofire Technologies uses fingerprint recognition technology to lock out anyone besides the owner of the firearm and users who are approved by the owner. A press release from the company explains that it “enables firearm owners to defend themselves against external threats while preventing unauthorized access and misuse.”


The gun, which is $1,499, according to the New York Post, unlocks in less than a second using its fingerprint or facial recognition sensor. It locks back up instantly when it is not being used. Representatives from the company told the Post that it will help prevent tragedies involving children and guns from occurring, as well as criminals taking guns from law-abiding citizens to commit violence.

$1500 for a 9mm of untested quality that takes "less than a second" (how much less?) to unlock before it fires. Who's gonna spend that kind of money on unproven technology and risk their life and safety on it?
