They claim the first batch is sold out at $1899.

Now $1499.

Who thinks some states will mandate this?

I looked at their website. One of the videos shows the happy family trooping out the door, leaving smarty gun behind.
Translation: You cant go out with it.
Because its too huge to carry?
And of course, who needs a gun outside your home?

Would I consider a "smart gun"? Sure, if it actually works. And actually works in a pouring rain or at 15 below zero (its the Yoop) and with gloves on.

Uh, no thanks. It uses facial recognition too? I can’t tell you how many times my iPhone has had a problem recognizing my face, especially in the dark in bed.

I’ll stick to my super dangerous Beretta.

I'll let someone else be the beta testers (for 5-10 years) and then I'll look at it. I'm amazed that someone would trust the safety of their family to untested tech.....

But it "has been tested by Experts".

I'm calling bullshit regarding their claim that the first batch sold out. If so at $1899, then why lower the price to $1499?

There's NO WAY their private investors would let them do that, unless sales were stagnant and the sales & marketing push took a significant effort - probably in libtard areas. Meaning that the sales & marketing budget was going to have to be even higher as they branched out and wanted equivalent sales figures... unless they dropped the price.

I'm looking forward to BioFire not being around in 2 years time.

Something doesn't smell right to me. If you owned a company and allegedly sold out of your product at $1899 a piece, why would you then lower the price for the next batch? Wouldn't you raise the price instead because the demand is so high?
I suspect they didn't sell out and thus had to lower the price in an attempt to create more demand.

It could be a good idea for limited roles. (Prison/Asylum guards come to mind/other places where unauthorized use is a bigger issue than immediate response.)

Do they have a 320 series that goes off by itself?

I got my smart gun right here

IME everything labeled as smart is actually dumb. How long before government agents can lock the user our remotely?

A limited use item in a very limited market. Not the kind of scaleability private venture investors are shooting for.

I'm gonna hold tight with my stupid guns.

I can't get over leaving a firearm out in the open like in the promotion. Openly displayed on your bookshelf does you no good for yourself even if someone else can't use it. They can still take it.

If a car or credit card or whatever can get hacked, seems irresponsible and it can still be stolen from the property and maybe hi-jacked like a kia.

Someone explain this review from the website: “If it weren't for the fact that it's got sensors and screens and lights on it you wouldn't know that this isn't just a regular mechanical pistol and I think that to me that's that's a sign that they've done their job right.”
— Ian McCollum

So it doesn't look anything like a "regular" gun, but you can't tell it's not a regular gun? Derp!

Haha, kiss my ass.

Rendered useless by an EMP. God Bless

No thanks. Mechanical > Electronic

Hard pass. Bankrupt within 24 months
