Is that a Glock with a Lock attached, or a Lock with a Glock attached? :-\

Hey ,this is the 1st time ive ever used a trigger lock .Dont make fun of me i could get a complex ,blame my parents for everything ,kick my dog (if i had one).
But you're right,this one doesnt fit the glock very well.Can someone out there who's very skilled make a trigger lock that resembles a shooters finger ?Hey ,it might sell.Think of it ,if a prowler gets to you and you dont have time to unlock it you could fake him out and make him think you got the drop on him.Lol

All in good fun Shooter. If the lock is the only way to secure your pistol when it is not under your control, then use it! Now, when it's under your direct control, I'd hate to think you had it locked up. Any weapon used for defense must be ready to go. It makes a poor $500 club!
Now, get you an aftermarket .40 barrel so you can shoot more using the cheaper ammo, and shoot the crap out of it!!!!

Savage is right--just teasing a little. He's right about the lock as well. If denial of access is for children, which it usually is, I would want a system where they could not even get their hands on the gun. They could stuff something in the barrel for instance without your knowledge. Have you looked into one of those touchpad combination lock boxes or even a key activated lock box? I would hate to have to be fumbling around with a trigger lock if I was in a hurry to access any firearm that might be need quickly. There are a number of options in the marketplace. Search around if you haven't already. BTW---nice pistol.

Hey guys,
      thanks for the advice.Matter of fact,this trigger lock is used in combination with a 150 lb electronic key safe.I also store the bolt to my hunting rifle in there.Both my kids are older and out of the house but i have a bipolar son so i take extra precautions.I'm also a proud grandfather of a future shooter/hunter ,Sean douglas who is 15 months old and loves grandpa's stuffed game trophies,especially the blackbear rug.Better safe than sorry.If i carrying the pistol or its in my truck,it has no trigger lock.Sometimes i carry it without one in the chamber if im driving.My wife and i were in the middle of a mall shooting 3 yrs ago here in Kingston ,ny.Guy had a ak47 style rifle,two people were hurt.He was trying to commit suicide by cop.I wasnt packing that day and it was all i could do to drag the wife out to safety,she had a panick attack and froze up on me.I literally grabbed her arm and pulled her to the nearest cover than ran out thru the nearest store along with about 1000 other shoppers.Quite an experience.I'm almost glad i didnt have a gun.I would have shot this kid .
