9. The "Safety Bullet" makes some bad assumptions.
First, it assumese that you will be able to use both hands in a time of crisis. I know a gun instructor who has been in several real-life gun fights. He says that he has never been able to use a two handed hold in any of his real situations. If one of my hands is busy, then the "Safety Bullet" will have screwed me.

Second, it assumes that I will have the time to cycle the action. I don't want to bet my life on that assumption.

However, in some households, the downside of the safety bullet may be less than the additional safety. Each must make their own decision.

Definately this would be for a home gun, and not for a carry gun.
