Trigger Locks
Firearm trigger locks block access to the trigger so a gun can't be fired by someone who shouldn't be handling it. They are a simple layer of safety for a rifle in the truck, a pistol in the nightstand or a gun at a deer camp where kids are around.
Bison fingerprint trigger lock
We carry the Bison Fingerprint Trigger Lock L2, the newer model of Bison's fingerprint lock. Instead of hunting for a key or turning a dial in the dark, you open it with a biometric reader, which keeps access quick for you and closed to everyone else.
How to use a trigger lock
A trigger lock fits around the trigger guard from both sides and locks together so the trigger can't be reached or pulled. Always unload the gun and clear the chamber before fitting one, and never put a trigger lock on a loaded firearm. Check that it fits your trigger guard and sits snug, with no gap to slip a finger into.
For the most protection, pair a trigger lock with locked storage like a safe or lock box, and store ammunition separately. A trigger lock keeps an unattended gun from being fired; a safe also keeps it from being taken.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are trigger locks on guns?
A trigger lock is a two-piece device that clamps around a firearm's trigger guard and locks, so the trigger can't be touched or pulled. Key, combination and fingerprint versions exist. They are fitted only to an unloaded gun and work best as one part of safe storage.
What are the different types of gun locks?
The common types are trigger locks, cable locks that run through the action or magazine well, chamber locks that block the chamber, and locked storage such as lock boxes and safes. Trigger locks open by key, combination or fingerprint. The Bison L2 here uses a fingerprint, so there is no key to lose.
What locking device for firearms is safest?
A locked safe or lock box gives the most protection, because it keeps the gun from being fired and from being taken. A trigger or cable lock adds a second layer, especially for a gun stored outside a safe. Keep ammunition locked up separately, and keep keys and codes away from kids.
What is the best trigger lock for my gun?
The right one fits your trigger guard snugly and is quick for you to open. Check the lock's fit against your rifle, shotgun or pistol before relying on it. A fingerprint model like the Bison L2 suits a gun you may need to open fast, without fumbling for a key or a code.
