ABSTRACT:
A handgun has at least one barrel; a cartridge chamber; a gun lock correlated with the cartridge chamber and provided with a hammer to be cocked against a spring force into a cocked position and with a trigger for releasing the hammer from the cocked position. First and second electric or electronic sensor devices are provided. The first sensor device recognizes whether the hammer is cocked. The second sensor device recognizes whether a cartridge is in the cartridge chamber. At least one light illuminates when the hammer of the gun lock is cocked; when a cartridge is inserted in the cartridge chamber; or when both of these conditions are fulfilled. A mechanical locking and unlocking device acts on the hammer. In a locking position it secures the hammer in the uncocked position. It is electrically operable by a battery and is in the locking position when currentless.
