A device to provide storage of a firearm cartridge (26) within a firearm
frame cavity (30) consisting of an insert body (10) shaped to fit within
the frame cavity of the firearm while securely holding the firearm
cartridge. The insert body contains a pair of rigid poles (12,14) attached
to a pair of half disks (32,34) that secure the inserted cartridge by
tensions created due to the rigidity of the poles when the inserted
firearm cartridge forces the poles to their proximal positions. During
insertion to the firearm frame cavity, the rigid stopper support (44) of
the insert body is urged to its proximal position, but returns to its
distal position when the stopper (18) engages the lanyard hole (48) of the
frame cavity. Applying a downward force to the front bottom edge (24) of
the insert body forces the rigid stopper support back to its proximal
position and disengages the stopper from the lanyard hole facilitating
removal of the insert body with the stored firearm cartridge still
attached. Inspection hole (60) provides a visual check of the stored
cartridge's presence while the insert body is within the firearm cavity
(30).
