Talk about peace of mind when loading and unloading your guns. This is money well spent, certainly.

$500-$950 ??? I've seen cops shoot.......what do they do when they miss? 8)
One of the shops I frequented used a 5 gallon bucket filled with sand with another 5 gallon bucket on top with a hole in the bottom to shoot through. Seems much more economical.

Same as we used in the service!

What is it for? Yeah, I see you shoot in it or the gun goes of in it. But why???

For clearing weapons, military and Cops were having a lot of NEGLIGENT discharges so again they solve a TRAINING problem with a gadget.

What!? Clearing guns? Keep you fat snausages of the trigger. If you have the presents of mind to remember to use this device, surely you can remember one of the four rules of firearms safety. There are only four of them. Maybe if they feared some kind of mechanical failure that could lead to a misfire. They should just have a weapon clearing station, its just a corner with a sign that says
'Read this sign before clearing weapon.'
'Take you finger off the trigger!'
'And point weapon is a non inhabited direction.'
Maybe its just my youthful idealism that fails me on this one. :-\

I am wondering where discipline and firearms safety took a blind side???? I may be losing out on a lucrative money making scheme here and it pisses me off. ;)

Gee! do they make one for an air gun?

Reminds me of a story one of the firearms instructors from my sportsman club told us. While serving in Korea one of the guys in his unit put some deisel fuel in a helmet to clean his .45. The guy took the mag out and swished the .45 around in the diesel, wiped if off with a rag and put the magazine back in. He pointed it down at the helmet and pulled the trigger. Bang, he had never cleared the chamber. The bullet followed the contour of the helmet,came back at him, and grazed the his ear. When he reported to the medic he made up a story that he had been observing the enemy when an artillary shell went off near him and he was hit by shrapnel. The instructor said the worse part about the whole thing was watching the guy get a purple heart for being "wounded".

Well, he WAS wounded. It just seems he deserves a purple ass (from all the kicking) more than a purple heart, but hey, God watches over fools and drunks.

I didn't know Jon Karry served in Korea.

The only time I feel a need for such a product is when I let the slide slam home on a newly inserted magazine for loading.
I keep the muzzle pointed in a "harmless" direction...but into the floor of the room or into the wall at the far end of the basement is not desirable.
This is the only time I take action that might cause a discharge ..not likely, but it is part of the firing sequence of the pistol.
All other times I have enough sense to be sure the weapon is unloaded ...but still pointed in a "safe" direction.
At that price, however, I'll patch a hole in the floor if that ever becomes necessary.

I would like to see a cross section of that thing. Bill T.

They seem to have went the same way as morals, scruples, and responsibility for ones actions in society.

#1. Point weapon in the direction of the nearest politician.
