Because Kids Find Guns

Providing ways to enhance firearm safety is a major concern. Master Lock's full line of gun locks providess gun owners with an extra measure of security against unauthorized access or tampering by children.

Most gun owners hide their firearms from sight. But no matter how careful they try to be, accidents can still happen. There are numerous instances each year where a gun lock could make a difference.

94DSPT Combination Gun Lock
Every gun owner will be interested in this locking device, which discourages theft and protects valuable guns from tampering. This lock has positive locking with an adjustable ratchet mechanism--the trigger access is blocked until the lock is removed. The lock is easy to attach and lock. It incorporates a pin tumbler locking cylinder and comes with two brass keys. The 1-inch post fits wider trigger guards, and the special cushioned pads protect the gun's finish from being scratched or marred. And keyed-alike convenience means you only have to have one key for all your guns.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Gun Lock for Safety, May 15, 2006

The first review by "Chris" is very illogical. He gives it one star because this lock isn't good for defensive purposes. Well, this lock isn't made for defensive purposes. It is made to lock triggers with the use of a combination...so you don't have to scurry around looking for a key. It is very well made and amazon does a public service by providing these trigger locks for such a low price. look on ebay and you will see jokers trying to charge $20 for this unit.

This is a five star lock all the way. It works on my lee enfield, colt 45, sks, hi standard hd military pistol, m1 garand, h&r single shot shotgun.

The review by Chris needs to be removed as it is completely irrelavant to the intended function of this lock.

If he wants something for defensive purposes he needs to go get one of those sliding finger gun safes that cost $200...not a saftey lock for $9.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good design and easy to use - not universal fit., November 3, 2006

By 

FloridaDad (Tallahassee, FL) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Master Lock 94DSPT 3-Digit Combination Gun Lock (Tools & Home Improvement)

With a 3-digit combination, this lock is better used to protect against accidental (read kids') use rather than theft/illegal use. In my view, the lock successfully achievies this purpose. The lock is much easier to use than the cable locks typically supplied with new firearms.

The lock has sliding little plastic "knobs" as well as softer stationary "spikes" to keep it in position. On my lock, the little knobs have a tendency to stick. It is not a big deal, just something to mention.

Also, on my Glock 30, positioning the lock is a bit difficult - it helps to dry-fire and leave the trigger in the back position - not a fault of the lock itself, just be aware that fit may not be universal.

Overall, I would recommend this lock for anyone with children or under statutory requirements to secure firearms.

This review is from: Master Lock 94DSPT 3-Digit Combination Gun Lock (Tools & Home Improvement)

I own a dozen handguns and have tried all kinds of locks. When installed properly, Master trigger locks, whether key or combination, will with almost complete reliability do what they are supposed to do: prevent a child, visitor, family member, or intruder from picking up the gun and firing it, accidentally or on purpose. But BE CAREFUL, because people have managed to fire guns equipped with trigger locks. On some guns, the configuration of the trigger guard does not catch the little posts on the lock, and it's possible to slide the lock and engage the trigger. The lock itself can fire the gun. The National Rifle Association discourages use of trigger locks, and there are better routes to gun safety.

Why do you want to lock your guns? To prevent them from being stolen? To make it extremely difficult for someone who steals one to get it operating? To make it impossible for someone to pick it up and figure out how to fire it?

If you want to prevent theft, then get a real gun safe. If it's a large safe, nobody will drill or pry their way in, and it will be far too heavy to carry. If it's a small safe, bolt it to your basement floor with masonry bolts into lead anchors. They won't excavate your floor to steal a safe unless it contains a whole lot more than guns.

If you want to lock your gun so that it's practically useless to a thief, then get a serious padlock, probably with a long shackle, and lock it onto the frame so that either lock or gun practically has to be destroyed to get it off. For a revolver, open the cylinder and lock the frame. The cylinder cannot be closed, and the gun cannot fire. For a self-loader, remove the magazine, EJECT THE CARTRIDGE FROM THE CHAMBER, open and latch the slide, and lock the padlock up through the handle and out the top. (You might need a pretty long shackle on some guns.) You can also use a cable 3/8" or even 1/2" thick and a good padlock. Get a 5-foot cable and lock several guns at once. Some of the better bicycle locks work great. I use a 5-foot Schlage lock and cable in my car, and secure my 9-mm Beretta to the foundation of the passenger seat if I'm not going to carry the weapon. I also cover the gun with something so it's not visible to the paroled murderers walking by. Not easy to get that gun, even if you steal the car.

Yes, someone willing to dynamite your basement floor, haul away a 300-pound safe, spend hours opening up your safe with torches, and spend hours more filing away hardened steel shackles (or trying 3-digit combinations) will be able to steal your guns and use them in crimes. But they won't. There are far easier ways to procure firearms.

Note: If you do use a Master trigger lock, insert it so that the connecting bar is behind the trigger, if possible. If you do this, the trigger can't be pulled, and the lock can't be slid around so as to engage the trigger. In fact, a large enough padlock can be used as a trigger lock as long as the shackle can't be maneuvered around the trigger or to a position in which the trigger has clearance to fire.

Oh, and . . . I will give up my gun when they pry it from my cold dead fingers.
