The range extension and lock circumvention is bad, but only weakens back to a regular handgun. The jamming is more scary to me as it makes the product actively worse than if it wasn't smart at all.
I imagine some firearm sales are for more recreational purposes.
Basic fire arms etiquette is to treat any firearm as loaded and ready to fire unless it's been explicitly cleared.
If you do not use guns for self defense then keeping them clear and keeping ammo separate is much easier and safer.
Any type of safety can fail and relying on it is just how you get some of these accidents.
The iP1, in particular, is also weird simply because it doesn't seem to know what it wants to be. It's not a defensive handgun, the caliber is totally inadequate. But barely anybody uses a compact pistol like this for recreation.
