Do those cheap black plastic trigger locks fit Glocks?

I am talking about the black plastic trigger locks with the 2 prong key, that doesn't technically unlock it, but you turn it and it simply unscrews until the 2 halves of the lock separate.

Does any use these on their Glocks? Does it fit around the trigger guard ok? I have one of the MasterLock brands trigger locks, but I hate how it fits on my Glock.

Can I damage anything if I just use the cable lock that came with the Glock, but close the action on the lock instead of leaving it wide open?

Thanks
 
I used one on my Glock because the 'regular' trigger lock wouldn't fit inside the Glock case.

They fit and work just fine...better, in fact, than the bulky ones.

I'm in the same boat with my Glock 17. I have the combo trigger lock (bought on everyone's recommendation here) and it doesn't fit comfortably in my plano pistol max case. I don't like the cable lock that came with the glock as it has a key, can't find a combo cable lock anywhere and want something slimmer than the master lock trigger lock for transport.
Where would I be able to get this plastic trigger lock?
 
Those cheap plastic locks work fine, just a pain to put on,
The master locks are so big you can't display a hand gun
properly with them on , couple of years ago I was making
small screw driver for the screws , handier than the piece
of scrap iron that comes with them, Also those small battery
operated screw drivers work good if you use many locks.
If you buy a case of those screw ones they are real cheap,
Right Phil?
 
Why are we concerned with what BS "securing" device to use? Cable the action toss it in the box, attach the cheapest lock you can find and move along.

Because the OP wanted a small lock that would fit in his case. The little plastic screw-in jobs are the smallest, and least expensive, thing around. Cable locks, by way of comparison, are bulky, awkward and expensive.
 
acrashab got it right on. The cheap cable lock that comes with the Glock uses a pretty cheap mechanism inside and when unlocked it does pop undone, you have to pull it apart while keeping the key turned, and I just like the idea of being able to store it with the action closed so it doesn't gather any unnecessary crud in the action, and the smaller and sleaker the lock, the better so that it will fit in my pistol case.

My problem is I have a couple guns for which I use cable locks, and the keys all look the same. It's a problem that will only grow worse, as the collection grows.

I hear you there. I switched to combination trigger locks to solve that problem. I still use the cable lock for the rifle case. Even locked, most soft rifle cases can be accessed without damage.

OK, I went to the Lebaron "toy store" in Mississauga today and found a set of 3 metal trigger locks (by DAC technology) and they work great. They are keyed alike, more secure than the plastic ones, slimmer than the master locks and look pretty cool against my glock :)
Cheap too, only $8.54 for the value pack of 3 locks & keys.
I can now fit the trigger locked glock, 5 mags and my certs in the original glock case. I will be posting a Plano pistolmax 2 pistol case in the EE shortly. I still have not received my ATT so I never even got the chance to use it :(...oh well.

I doubt it. I'm talking about these little plastic bean-shaped jobbies. The two halves join by means of a metal (plastic?) screw, the head of which sits flush with the rest of the lock. The driving mechanism is merely two holes about a centimeter apart, the key is a thin piece of metal with two bumps that fit into these holes. I got a bunch from SIR a couple of years ago for about $2 each.
