Summary:An improved drug delivery system (10) comprising a gun style injection device (100) used for holding and administering a disposable pre-filled drug cartridge, a holster device (300) used for receiving an end of the gun style injection device and thereafter severing cannula from cartridge and disposing of spent cannulas and cartridges, and an improvement to the drug cartridge is disclosed. The gun style injection device comprises a barrel (101), a handle (102), a hinged and spring loaded squeeze lever (104), and a safety trigger (105). The holster device comprises a leg protection panel (200) to which a housing is coupled for disposing of spent cartridges. The holster housing is adapted for receiving the barrel of the gun style injection device. The holster housing provides a means for severing the cannula from a used cartridge and disposing of both the cannula and cartridge in separate containers. The cartridge design itself is improved in order to increase the performance of the gun style injection device and the holster cannula severing mechanism.
