ABSTRACT:
A new child safe trigger mechanism for preventing a child from squeezing the trigger of a handgun. The inventive device includes a gun having a trigger, a trigger guard, and a handgrip. A base member is extended from a portion of the trigger guard adjacent the handgrip towards the trigger. The base member has a threaded bore therein facing the trigger. An insert member is threadedly inserted into the bore of the base member. An abutment member is slidably inserted into hole in the first end of the insert member so that the first end of the abutment member abuts the trigger. The abutment member is biased towards the trigger so that a predetermined amount of opposing force is required for moving the abutment member towards the second end of the insert member to overcome the biasing force.
