    Very slick concept. Played with them for a while, and then Cathy bought one. We are kinda curious about what magnetizing the gun might do to it, though.

    Any residual magnetism would be so weak at to be negligible I would imagine. It certainly would not effect brass, gun powder, or lead/copper, aluminum, or plastic. I like the idea and will have to look for it.

    I like the idea and have seen a cleaner looking one in a magazine, but I have a 2 year old neice so i cannot experiment with it :(

    i agree.... i have had a glock sitting on a fast holster for over 6 months and when i fire it NOTHING bad happens.... i dont think the residual is even enough to hold a tiny set screw that i laid onto it.... i wouldnt be to worried

    Also, magnetism isn't really transfered from static object to static object. Especially in these relatively weak magnets.

    It generally takes some movement or electricity (to align the electrons) to impart magnetism on a non-magnetized object.

    Of course, if history has anything to do with it, Rhino will make a glorious re-appearing and correct everything that I just typed. LOL

    Do you live in a high crime area? Why do you need to access your firearm in such hurry? If you work in a Gun shop, then I understand or any business that have a crazy ex employee coming back for revenge you firing him. I guess I am curious...:draw:

    Generally speaking, situations that require the use of a firearm seldom come after ample warning. If you are in need of a gun, chances are you need it quickly.

    Kind of like insurance. Granted, I hope I will never have to use the deadly force upon anyone. But if the perp would not think I'd shot, he'd better be prepared to leave a will for his family. :draw:
