Radetec Offers ‘SpeedShot’ Automatic Round-Counting System
Rade Tecnologías SL, through its USA subsidiary Radetec, has developed a fired-shot counting system for pistols and long guns that offers immediate benefits for soldiers and LEO personnel. Down the road, we envision how an automatic shot-counting system could benefit Multi-Gun and High Power competitors. Firing one shot too few in a course of fire can lose a match, and firing one too many can have the same result — or worse yet, a DSQ.
Two Display Options for Pistols
Radetec’s SpeedShot shot-count system employs a sensor in a special, dedicated magazine which outputs to either a digital or LED light display. Both the numeric display and color-changing LED light indicate rounds left in the magazine. For pistols, Radetec will market custom grips which incorporate the shot-counter display modules. Currently, Radetec systems are available for Beretta, Glock, Smith & Wesson M & P, and 1911-platform pistols. The digital-numeric display on these grips indicates the actual number of rounds left in the magazine. The total number of rounds fired can also be accessed.
The SpeedShot counting system is powered by a 5-year lithium battery. Pistol systems feature special Radetec grips with embedded electronics for each make/model of firearm, one magazine, and a user’s manual. MSRP is $160 for either the digital-numeric model or the LED display version.

Good one!
But I think, last year golf bullet was the best joke.
I think this technology was introduced several years ago as “gun control” alternative to microstamping. It could record GPS location of the weapon, time fired, angle of fire, azimuth, etc. and would be set up so only police could read your weapon info by radio link on demand. They drive by your house and see you had an A.D. in the garage, or you shot at tin cans in an unauthorized area and bust the door in and confiscate your weapon because you are a danger to society. . .Good idea or Trojan Horse ??? Maybe after Obama’s operation “Fast and Furious” I am a little paranoid.
For comparison, this device (http://www.southern-gun.co.uk/?page=countashot) has been available for a couple of years now. It simply clamps to a Picatinny rail and requires no other modifications.
Benny,
A bit paranoid? The technology offered seems very innovative and could be a whole new direction for firearms accessories.
I like the idea of getting a grip that will display the number of rounds left in the clip. That could help out when I am at a competition. I can focus less on how many rounds I have and more on hitting my targets.
