Biofire's Fire-By-Wire 9mm Smart Gun

Luke C is at GunCon checking out one of the more talked-about booths on the floor this year: Biofire and their 9mm Smart Gun. This isn't your average striker-fired pistol. It's a biometric handgun, secured by both fingerprint and facial recognition, and the first product of its kind to actually reach market.

While the smart gun has been tried before, the BioFire Smart Gun fires 9mm Luger through an electronic "Fire by Wire" trigger, with a fingerprint sensor in the grip and a 3D infrared facial recognition sensor at the rear of the slide. Whichever system verifies the user first unlocks the gun, and it locks itself the instant it leaves an unauthorized hand. It runs on a rechargeable lithium-ion battery, has an integrated laser sight, and ships with 10 and 15-round magazines.
