Is this the future of handguns?-smart LED screen

Mmmmm...
Maybe, who knows?
If it came out tomorrow I'd pass. I have enough to look at putting three dots on center mass

[davidj]

I am a traditionalist/old school myself. But I can see some of the younger generation that would look at something like this for the "cool" factor.

[Dan_Eastvale]

Not that. Useless.
Maybe some technology that puts the weapon on target automatically.
And-or a fazer.

[Mute]

I don't see the point in having that. It brings nothing to the table.

[kenl]

Hard no. To me, it's a gateway to mandated "smart gun" lockouts and remote denial of use technologies.

[foothillman]

No.

Not a great idea to show a firearm with live ammunition in the magazine.
It clearly indicated with the red dot "cocking indicator" the handgun was ready to fire.
Did not notice anything that was chamber loaded indicator.
Dropping the magazine and pulling slide back he should of visually checked chamber before pulling trigger.

This is what I have been waiting for......

I'm far more interested in the lowered bore than the dumb LED.

Guns and electronics are like oil and water, they'll never mix well. If weapons design progresses more toward laser, plasma or other electronic weapons systems, then electronics make sense as they are needed and are integral to the design. Simple mechanical designs that discharge gunpowder based projectiles simply don't need electronics. I don't even like dot optics, I have a few but I much prefer night sights over dots too. Electronics and firearms just don't work well together. Simpler is always better to accomplish the mission of a firearm. Electronics will never be as reliable as simple mechanical designs.

[tokuno]

No.

This is what I have been waiting for......

I want one, but relabeled hammer vs. human and an added hammer bonus category for “thumb”.

[acaligunner]

They tried to copy RoboCop’s pistol 🤣🤣. Naw dog 🥴

[TrappedinCalifornia]

Don't they have something more up-to-date? That is so 2019...

Intrigue when they enable AI and the screen goes green when on target.

Electronics in gunsnhas been around since ww2. Dont be scared of it. I knew we used proximity fuzes in AA in Pacific, didnt know it was first used, unauthorized, in Battle of the Bulge and was slaying nazi's big time.

I definitely dont want an led screen, Im a minimal batterybatterin my life as possible, but Id never say never to technology as time moves along.

electronicsnin 155 mm shells... 1944. I will tell you there is far more " turbulence " in a 155mm than a 9mm : )
