ABSTRACT:
A safety indicator device for a firearm in conjunction with an energy absorbing device, for enabling hammer spring tension to be relieved without damage to the firing pin of the gun, comprising a generally cylindrical housing member approximately the size of a shotgun shell or a cartridge. In the end of the housing member opposite the primer end is a weighted member secured to the housing by a lanyard longer than the gun barrel, which weighted member can be dropped through the barrel immediately prior to inserting the housing member into the breech of the gun, to indicate that the gun is unloaded. Then, after the housing member has been inserted into the breech and the breech closed, the trigger of the gun can be pulled without possible damage to the firing pin, due to the inclusion of a nylon member in the housing, in place of the conventional primer, or any metallic spring device to absorb energy. This nylon member is mounted in a generally cylindrical insert, preferably of elastomeric material, which is firmly disposed in the housing member, which insert can deflect longitudinally to absorb energy when the nylon member is struck by the firing pin.
