About GOSAFE

What GOSAFE Is

Learn how GOSAFE works and why it outperforms other firearm security options.
What is GOSAFE?

GOSAFE is the first mechanical magazine well lock designed for handguns and rifles. It inserts into the firearm's magazine well and locks in place with a key, preventing the weapon from being loaded or fired until unlocked.
What is a magazine well lock?

A magazine well lock is a firearm security device that inserts into the magazine well, preventing a magazine from being loaded. GOSAFE is the first mechanical magazine well lock designed for Glock handguns and AR-15 platforms.
How does GOSAFE work?

Insert GOSAFE into the magazine well, turn the key to lock. While installed, the firearm cannot accept a magazine and cannot fire. Turn the key again to remove GOSAFE. Your weapon is ready to deploy in seconds.
Is GOSAFE better than a biometric gun lock?

Biometric locks fail when hands are wet, dirty, or gloved. GOSAFE is mechanical with no batteries, no fingerprint readers, and no codes. It works reliably in any condition, every time.

Gun safes work but only in one location. GOSAFE travels with your firearm from station to vehicle to home. Portable protection without separation from your weapon.
