ABSTRACT:
An external safety for application to handguns which effectively blocks rearward travel of the trigger to the point where the handgun is discharged, the external safety consisting of a trigger block adapted to be pivoted into the path of the trigger, and out of the path of the trigger as desired, by attached levers accessible to the operator. The trigger block and levers are secured upon the handle of the handgun by a pair of brackets operably attached to the handgun handle proximate the trigger and trigger guard. The brackets are situated on opposite sides of the handgun to pivotally receive the trigger block and lever assembly permitting it to be pivoted into the trigger blocking configuration or out of the trigger blocking configuration.
