Although there might be a high chance of constantly being misinterpreted as a criminal of some sort using the S&W Revolver USB Drive, it is still pretty cool. Just be prepared to be tackled by a Gracie Hart wannabe (do you recall the 'Miss Congeniality' scene where she jumps a cowboy who was lighting his cigarette with a [revolver lighter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/klaro-30-caliber-smoke-can-humidor)?).

As long as you exercise some discretion when pulling out the S&W Revolver USB Drive, it will prove to be a fun and practical [computer accessory](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/d-mouse). Priced at just $23, the S&W Revolver USB Drive boasts 4 GB of memory. Made out of a durable metal casing, this compact design is especially convenient for travel.
