Any body know what the orange tool that came with my 24/7 (.40 S&W) is used for? It was in the bag with the key for the lock.
Thanks!

You got a picture? I don't remember an orange tool.

+1 with what MPanova said.

Also not sure what "orange tool" is noted above, as none came w. my 24/7.

Might be an unloaded chamber or slide back indicator; these look like vee-shaped little plastic tabs that are inserted into chamber or feed ramp area to clearly indicate that the slide is not in battery. My Colt semi-auto came with one, also bright orange.

Photo or description would help.

Mystery solved, the device is placed in the chamber for shipping as a quick reference that the weapon is not loaded. I would think some shops likely discard it when preparing the pistol for sale. Thanks to all who responded.
