Abstract: A firearm includes a barrel portion, a slide, and a frame. The frame includes a grip, and the grip includes a magazine chamber and a rear surface adjacent the slide. At least one sensor is carried by the grip, and the at least one sensor adapted to sense a state of the magazine detachably received in the magazine chamber corresponding to a number of cartridges of ammunition remaining in the magazine. A display is carried on the rear surface of the grip, and the display includes a plurality of illuminating devices. The display is operatively coupled to the at least one sensor and is operable to visually present the number of cartridges of ammunition remaining in the magazine by illuminating at least one of the plurality of illuminating devices.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to recording devices coupled to guns that are configured to record events. In an embodiment, a gun-mounted recording device comprises: a sensor configured to: sense the gun is in use; and send an activation signal to a recording device in response to sensing the gun is in use. Further, the recording device is communicatively coupled to the sensor, wherein the recording device is configured to: transition from a lower-power state to a higher-power state in response to receiving the activation signal, wherein the recording device records wherein the higher-power state; and record at least one aspect of the gun's environment in response to transitioning from the lower-power state to the higher-power state.
