Abstract
A security device for a firearm comprises a pair of covers adapted to be disposed on opposite sides of a firearm trigger guard. One of the covers has an elongate protruding housing containing the latching portion of a latch member and the other cover is formed with an opening in which is disposed a catch member adapted to engage and retain the latching portion when the covers are pressed together with the trigger guard therebetween and with the housing being projected through the trigger guard into the opening. The covers when mutually engaged embrace the trigger guard and prevent operation of the trigger. The latch member may be moved out of engagement with the catch member to release the covers by means of a manual actuator which is controlled by a combination lock contained in the cover which is provided with the latch member. The device may be applied to a range of different firearms.
