We are honored to share a new testimonial from Derek LeBlanc, founder and president of the Kids S.A.F.E. Foundation, an organization that has taught firearm safety to thousands of children and parents. Derek published a hands-on review of B.O.S. Lock on September 5, 2025, after installing and testing it on a Gen 5 Glock 19. (Kids S.A.F.E. Foundation)
Education first, safety always
At B.O.S. Lock, we believe education is the foundation of responsible ownership. Teaching children what to do around firearms, and giving parents practical tools that fit real life, work together to reduce risk. Derek’s work leading Kids S.A.F.E. Foundation is a model of that mission in action, and we are proud to support leaders who put children’s safety first. (Kids S.A.F.E. Foundation)
What Derek tested
In his review, Derek highlighted several features designed for families that stage a defensive handgun yet want strong safeguards against unauthorized use:
- Simple setup and direct mount to the firearm
- Biometric access with the capacity to register up to 50 fingerprints, designed to read wet or greasy fingers
- Slide-lock mechanism that keeps the pistol out of battery until an approved fingerprint is read, then allows the round to chamber for rapid deployment
- Speed that enables a staged handgun to be ready in roughly half a second, according to Derek’s testing
Read his full impressions and step-by-step setup in the published review.
“I believe that we have found a winner with the B.O.S. Lock.”
Why this matters
Families ask a practical question: how to balance secure storage with access during emergencies. Derek’s assessment reflects what we built, a tool that supports layered safety in the home while complementing formal education for kids and parents. Tools and training work best together.
