Coming soon to a gun merchant near you.To my observation at bowling pin and IDPA matches, a more useful and less obtrusive gimmick would be a small red panel that pops up blocking your view of the front sight when your gun goes to slide lock.
I see more people staring intently down a locked slide, carefully pulling the trigger and becoming more and more surprised when the thing refuses to go bang. Maybe something as simple as a small LED that lights up when the slide comes back. In normal use the blink would be too short to notice, but with the slide locked back, it stays on.

Perhaps an audible or vibrating alert at any trigger pressure on an empty chamber. Maybe a single-pulse when the last round is chambered.
Or a microwave-like beep-beep-beep after the last round, transmitted via blue-tooth on a secure packet of information to a linked ear-protector or ear insert (so bad guys cannot fake or intercept your "time to reload" signal).
Or, instead of 'beep-beep', you could download your favorite ring-tone. . . Can't you hear the race on the range, to get all your center-of-mass rounds into the dead center of the target, so your "It's a Small World" ring tone would get started playing first! Or maybe Adele's "Rolling In The Deep", the mind boggles! "We could have had it a-a-all!" Sorry. Got carried away, there.
I wonder, on a gas operated mechanism, if a way to thump the grips as the last round is loaded might be useful, possible, and be noticeable as the recoil of the previous round winds down. Even if it doesn't play "We are the Champions!"
There might be a competitive advantage to a modernized, double stack Luger...
Brad: I like "Running On Empty" at the second-to-last round.
Andrew: Excellent solution.
