ABSTRACT:
A locking assembly for a firearm, such as a semiautomatic or fully automatic pistol, includes a support member with an action locking arm and an action locking lug extending from a first end of the support member and a retainer arm extending from a second end of the support member. The action locking lug and arm are received in the firing chamber of a pistol, while the muzzle end of the pistol is rested on the retainer arm. A recoil spring in the pistol generates a pincer action between the action locking arm and the retainer arm to securely maintain the pistol in the locking assembly, preventing withdrawal with the normal upward movement. The action locking arm and lug positively prevent operation of the pistol trigger and prevent accidental chambering of an ammunition round. The pistol may be deployed with one downward thrust on the pistol grip, compressing the recoil spring and providing clearance for removal of the action locking arm and lug. Simultaneously, the pistol is cocked and a round is chambered so that upon removal from the locking assembly, the pistol is ready to fire. The locking assembly may be incorporated in a holster, or it may be more stationary, such as by mounting on the dashboard of a police squad car.
