Chamber safety flags aren’t a new invention. For many years, weapons manufacturers have included them in their packaging along with other accessories. Sadly, many of these flags end up forgotten in the box or thrown out with the trash. In this article, we’ll explore the benefits of using flags for every firearm you own.
They are essential for everyone’s safety.
In our industry, safety is everything, and we know that accidents are more likely to happen when human error is at play. It’s surprisingly easy, especially when handling a semi-automatic handgun or rifle, to forget whether or not it’s loaded. And those errors can ultimately prove tragic.
Bright, clearly worded chamber flags provide an essential way to guarantee that a firearm is safe and ready to handle when seconds count. In addition to your own family’s safety, firearm flags also help range officers and fellow shooters confirm that all firearms are empty before proceeding downrange to check targets.
They are incredibly simple to use.
It wasn’t always the case, but gun flags these days are some of the easiest firearm accessories to use. Muzlstik makes a wide variety of flags that go directly in the chamber, clip over the side, or attach with a zip tie.
Muzlstik gun flags are range-safety compliant and don’t require any weapon modification. After using them just a few times, they will become an essential part of your readiness routine that could ultimately save your life or the life of someone else.
They are virtually indestructible.
Our firearm flags have evolved over time and are now made from highly durable ABS plastic that won’t buckle or snap as you’re storing, cleaning or transporting your weapons.
That means, whether you’re out on the road or packing up at the range, you can use your Muzlstik chamber flags time and time again with very little wear and tear.
They serve more than one purpose.
As discussed, Muzlstik chamber flags come in a wide variety of shapes and sizes to suit every weapon. Many of our flags are inserted directly into the chamber, which serves the dual purpose of making the weapon virtually impossible to discharge. All the while, keeping enough surface area visible that shooters and bystanders can clearly see the loaded/unloaded label.
They are useful beyond the range.
With new regulations emerging constantly, shooting ranges aren’t the only place you will continue to see gun flags in usage. FFLs and firearm shops often use flags to block the chamber of weapons so that they’re clear, safe, and easy to inspect while being handled by customers or used in demonstrations. In addition, chamber flags allow law enforcement officers to decide at a glace whether a seized gun is safe to handle and store.
They could soon be required everywhere.
Firearm flags are quickly becoming a legal requirement for shooting on the range, in education programs, while hunting, and other gun-related activities. Failing to use chamber safety flags could incur a citation or fine, so many hunters and recreational shooters are beginning to work them into their normal routine in order to avoid future hassle.
