ABSTRACT:
A locking mechanism for a trigger-operated firearm comprises a base plate adapted to be attached to the underside of the firearm frame, and a trigger guard member which slidably engages the base plate. The trigger guard may be moved from a forward locked position, wherein the rear portion of the arcuate trigger guard abuts the trigger thereby preventing actuation of the trigger, to a rearward activated position which allows free movement of the trigger. A spring-operated latch activates the trigger guard member in either the locked or the activated position. When the trigger guard member is in the locked position, a padlock receiving orifice in the base plate is exposed; when the shackle of a padlock is extended through this orifice in the base plate, the guard member cannot be moved to the activated position.
