Jotto Gear is now selling a handgun storage device that uses a fingerprint reader to grant access to the weapon. The rig is not a typical wearable holster. Rather, the unit mounts to a fixed object such as the underside of a desk or the concealed interior of a vehicle.

The system is a two-part unit with a fingerprint reader connected to the gun storage device by a wire. Presumably, the fingerprint reader could be mounted in such a way that the off-hand activates it while the dominant hand draws the gun. Currently, the unit sells for $397.

Jotto Gear is a brand of Jotto Desk, whose main business is making vehicle mounts for computers. However, they make a variety of other products including other gun storage devices.

NEW JOTTO GEAR^® BIOMETRIC HANDGUN HOLSTER KEEPS YOUR FIREARM SAFE AND SECURE IN VEHICLE, HOME OR OFFICE

Holster Utilizes Same Advanced Technology the U.S. Government Employs

Jotto Gear^® believes all Americans have the right to bear arms responsibly. The company continues to build products in line with this belief and is now proud to introduce its newest product, the Biometric Handgun Holster. The technologically advanced holster offers quick and safe access to your gun recognizing you with a simple finger touch. The holster can be installed in your vehicle, home or office and has been designed to be mounted where you need it – whether in a desk, in an automobile console, in a nightstand or the side of a cabinet.

The Jotto Gear Biometric Handgun Holster provides for easy and secure access to your firearm. The holster features Smart Gun Lock Head, a military-grade biometric securing system designed so only you and those you choose can have access. Not swipe or scan technology, the biometric reader is a live fingerprint detector that reads the positive ions in the finger providing for accurate and high-resolution fingerprint recognition. The system allows for up to 99 fingerprints, which means you can save a number of your own fingerprints as well as other trusted individuals’ fingerprints.

Studies show gun ownership is at an all-time high, and continues to rise. Gun owners want quick, reliable and discreet access to their firearm for their protection and personal safety. Jotto Gear designers had these specifics in mind when designing the Biometric Handgun Holster.

“The last thing you want to do is have to remember a code, or where you left a key – especially if it’s an emergency or you are under duress,” said Curt Hatton, vice president of sales and marketing for Jotto Gear. “It’s a lockable firearm storage that a gun owner can access with a fingerprint at a moment’s notice. It’s not just a safe, it’s a solution.”

The Biometric Handgun Holster fits most full sized semi-automatic handguns as the barrel stop can be adjusted. Made in the USA, the holster can be installed horizontally or vertically.

Jotto Gear also offers officially NRA^® licensed products designed to intelligently store and keep your firearms and other gear accessible.
