sr22 factory lock vs. trigger lock

[black_raven]

quick dumb question. My sr22 comes w/ a factory lock that prevents the bolt from moving forward..basically locks the action up. is this equivalent to trigger lock in the eyes of the cfo or inspectors? I also have it in a gun cabinet just in case

Yes it is as good or better than a trigger lock.

of its in the cabinete no lock nessecary, but yes even on it's own that would be fine for storage. cable locks are fine.

I prefer trigger locks. Do yourself a favor and order a batch of keyed alikes.

I like combo trigger locks so you can set them to the same number to remember that one number and not to carry around a key, but that's only my personal preferance.

That is another way to go. Slightly more costly, but definitely a good idea.

The supplied Ruger lock is a better option because with only the trigger lock, you can theoretically still pull the action open and chamber a round (with no way to fire it, mind you). I'm guilty of using a trigger lock on mine, mostly because I don't want the big cumbersome Ruger lock banging up the finish on my SR-22.

yeah i was a little worried about the finish. Anyway..took the SR out yesterday and put a few hundred rounds through ... lots of fun. pretty accurate...although i was only at a 25 yard range...groupings about the size of a quarter/loonie

my Ruger lock went into the garbage with the box my SR came in. I prefer the combo locks myself.

pwong, as I am sure you are already aware, the top rail on the SR-22 has a habit of working loose. This is really frustrating when you're out shooting and don't have the proper torx with you to re-torque! I check it after every shooting day now.
