‘Smart’ Guns With Fingerprint Sensor, Security Code Headed To US Market
“Smart” handguns designed to limit who can shoot are expected to hit the booming U.S. gun market this year, targeting a surge in shooting deaths at a time when federal lawmakers remain deadlocked over any new restrictions.
Questions about reliability and political battles have dogged the technology for decades, but proponents say it’s an opportunity to prevent children, criminals or people considering self-harm from pulling the trigger.
Whether these lethal weapons will be accepted by buyers, perform their intended role in real life, or deliver on their promises to improve gun safety, however, will likely take years to finally be answered.
“I don’t have a crystal ball to judge whether it’s well-balanced, poorly-balanced, or ends up being like other smart guns of the past — kind of silly,” said Adam Skaggs, chief adviser and policy director of gun control advocacy group Giffords.
The system from entrepreneur Tom Holland’s SmartGunz company uses RFID chips — similar to the transmitters many people use in their cars to pay for tolls — installed inside the ring.
When the shooter holds the gun with a hand wearing a special ring, the safety mechanism unlocks, allowing the gun to fire.
The Netherlands sees an application to protect police officers who may have their pistols stolen by suspects. Or parents worry that their kids will find their guns.

SpiceJet expands its domestic network with 8 new flights that will connect Jaipur with Varanasi, Amritsar and Ahmedabad and also link Ahmedabad with Pune.
SpiceJet is further expanding its domestic network with the launch of eight new flights starting November 15.
In the statement released on Wednesday, the airline announced that these new routes will connect Jaipur with Varanasi, Amritsar and Ahmedabad, while also linking Ahmedabad with Pune. This expansion follows the recent launch of 32 new flights in October 2024, including two international flights connecting Delhi with Phuket.
Last month, SpiceJet also commenced UDAN flights linking Shivamogga in Karnataka with Chennai and Hyderabad, and introduced double daily flights between Chennai and Kochi, enhancing connectivity across key regional and metropolitan cities.
“We are excited to announce the launch of new flights from Jaipur to Varanasi, Amritsar, and Ahmedabad, as well as from Ahmedabad to Pune, providing our passengers with greater flexibility and convenience,” SpiceJet Chief Business Officer Debojo Maharshi said.
“These new flights reflect our commitment to supporting passenger demand across tier-II cities and beyond. With our expanded winter schedule, including international and UDAN routes, we aim to provide our customers with greater convenience, affordability, and seamless travel experiences,” Maharshi added.
SpiceJet will deploy its 78-seater Q400 aircraft in these sectors. Bookings for the new flights are now open and tickets are available at the website of the airline, SpiceJet’s mobile app and through online travel portals and travel agents.
On Monday, the airline received a significant boost, with Acuite Ratings & Research Limited upgrading its long-term rating by four notches to ‘B ‘ and its short-term rating to A4. The rating agency has also assigned a ‘Stable’ outlook to the airline.
