1. A firearm safety round configured to function as a safety round for a firearm having a firing chamber that includes bore and to be received within the firing chamber in the manner of a round of ammunition positioned or chambered for firing, the safety round comprising:
a cylindrical body portion having a first portion having a diameter and configured for being chambered into the firing chamber of the firearm in the manner of a live ammunition round, and an extension extending distally from the first portion, the extension having a smaller diameter than the diameter of the first portion and having a flattened distal end, wherein the small diameter of the extension and the flattened end of the extension render the extension suitable as a tool for field stripping and maintenance of the firearm; a tab extending outward away from the end of the body portion, the tab sized and configured for extending out from the firing chamber when the first portion of the cylindrical body portion is chambered in the firearm and to be visible outside of the firearm in order to provide visual confirmation that the firing chamber is free of live ammunition; and a pin hingedly mounted to the tab and pivotally moveable between a first position wherein a distal end of the pin extends outwardly from the tab, and a second position wherein the distal end of the pin lies closely adjacent the tab, wherein the pin is suitable for use as a tool for maintaining the firearm when pivoted to the first position. |
