Abstract
A trigger lock for a firearm lock is disclosed comprising a trigger lock body having a trigger blocking portion. The trigger blocking portion has a head and a body for placement behind the trigger to prevent rearward movement of the trigger to a firing position. The trigger lock body includes a flange adjacent to and integral with the trigger blocking portion for positioning in an abutting relationship with the trigger guard thereby preventing lateral and twisting movement of the trigger blocking portion once placed behind the trigger. There is provided at least one shoulder portion extending laterally from the head of the body beyond the corresponding side of the trigger guard when the body is placed behind the trigger to resisting twisting motion. The trigger lock body mounts to a shackle of a padlock so that the body and padlock shackle to which it is mounted forms a unitary trigger guard for insertion behind the trigger.
