Abstract:
A safer system for a semi-automatic handgun that denies permission for its use except for the authorized owner/user, and visually conveys, by means of its physical condition, whether it could be fired, said system comprising:A. a cartridge magazine-fed, slide operated, semi-automatic handgun with a forward loading and rearward ejection cycle; B. a rechargeable battery connected to an electric motor disposed in the handgun that drives the slide forwards and backwards effective to load and eject a cartridge; and C. a micro-processor switch with a pre-set code recognition feature that upon receiving the correct code entered by the authorized user of the handgun enables the motor to close the slide to load the handgun, and commands that when the cartridge magazine ejection button is pressed the motor engages to open the slide to eject any chambered cartridge.
