  • Firearm safety device
    Patent number: 6796072
    Abstract: The firearm safety device includes a cylindrical cartridge plug which is insertable into a firing chamber of the barrel of a firearm. One end of the cartridge plug is positioned proximal to the opening of the bore through the barrel and the other end is positioned proximal to a firing pin of the firearm. The cartridge plug has a smooth outer surface which is in communication with an extraction finger of the firearm. A number of protrusions emanate outwardly from the outer surface of the cartridge plug. The protrusions are frictionally engageable with the inner wall of the firing chamber to maintain the plug within the firing chamber. An elongated indicator member is connected to the end of the cartridge plug which is proximal to the bore. The other end of the elongated indicator member extends completely through the bore of the barrel so that it is visible outside the barrel of the firearm to indicate to the user that the firearm is in a safe condition and cannot be fired.
