A firearm safety device comprising:
- a magazine body made of non-conductive material;
- a floor plate retainer located internally at a bottom end of the magazine body, wherein the floor plate retainer is locked into position by an enhanced floor plate configured to attach to the bottom end of the magazine body;
- a sensor operably positioned in a follower configured to support one or more rounds of ammunition loaded in the magazine body, wherein the sensor is configured to close an analog circuit upon detecting the presence of the one or more rounds of ammunition in the magazine body;
- and
- a display device coupled to a rechargeable power source in the enhanced floor plate, wherein the display device is configured to provide feedback indicating the presence of the one or more rounds of ammunition in the magazine body when the analog circuit is closed.
