The fire by wire trigger still shot like a regular striker trigger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We have not had a test gun for round count, battery, or long term reliability checks.

Multiple users can be added.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Unlock:<\/strong> when you pick it up, it scans for a registered fingerprint (a sensor under the trigger guard reads your middle finger) or a registered face. A match turns the indicator from white to green, and the green front sight lights up.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Staying armed:<\/strong> seven sensors track that you still have control. Lose your grip and Biofire says it disables in under 200 milliseconds.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Fire by wire:<\/strong> the trigger does not connect mechanically to the striker. A solid state electronic fire control system releases it.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Battery:<\/strong> about a week under normal conditions, charged from the dock, per Biofire.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Biofire also claims the gun is waterproof, works from -40 to 176 F, and passed more than one million rounds of company testing. We have not verified any of that. Is the Biofire Smart Gun worth it? We cannot answer that from a range day. It needs a full review with a test gun.

Multiple users can be added, making the system flexible for families or shared environments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-see-also-a-budget-friendly-bolt-gun-shot-show-2025\">SEE ALSO: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/a-budget-friendly-bolt-gun-shot-show-2025\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"would-you-buy-biofires-smart-gun-shot-show-2025\" title=\"Biofire Smart Gun: Hands-On Range Impressions\">A Budget-Friendly Bolt Gun!, SHOT Show 2025<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once the gun is picked up, it senses movement and quickly scans for either a registered fingerprint or a face through its sensors. If it recognizes an authorized user, the system activates, and an indicator light turns from white to green to signal it\u2019s ready to fire. The front sight is a green light that goes dark when it can&#8217;t be fired.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Biofire_SHOT_Show_2025_Levi_Sim-11-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"The pistol is laying on the table with its dock.

It&#8217;s for leaving in the drawer by your bed or another convenient place. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Care should be taken with storing all firearms, and this one makes it even harder for an unintended user to shoot it.
