ABSTRACT:
A safety plug for the firing chamber of a weapon to provide a visual indication that the weapon firing chamber is free of live ammunition. The safety plug includes a cylindrical body having a diameter which is less than the weapon chamber bore. This body is rounded in the preferred embodiment at its forward end portion and fabricated from a non-abrasive material. A tab extends outwardly from the body such that it is visible when the firing chamber is closed to indicate a safe weapon. A button is carried by the rear end portion of the body. This button is preferably fabricated from a hardened material and can be readily engaged by the metal extractor of a conventional weapon for ejecting the plug in normal weapon operation. The plug can be used with a semi-automatic weapon in which the magazine is, or is not, inserted.
