Just bought my second semi auto pistol a few weeks ago, an XD40. My Ruger .22 accepts my Master trigger locks but my XD doesn't. In fact it came a with cable locking device. Is there a trigger lock out there that fits larger semi autos? The XD doesn't fit well in my case with the slide locked open.
Trigger lock for semi auto pistol?
- Thread starter toxic
- Start date
The normal trigger lock by Master fits all my revolvers to semi-auto h/guns. Not always the same with with revolvers & semi-autos for each varies a little bit differently but all do a good job. That means I have been using the SAME since back in '74 or even earlier. They are exactly the same as newer ones---no kidding.
Got some pliers?
If you find any of the pins are interfering with the trigger or are going to scratch your trigger guard, peel back the rubber and with a pair of pliers (I used vice grips) remove any that offend. They come out with not too much effort. Also I bought a slightly larger gun rug than I needed for my Kimber 5" 1911 to be able to accomodate the lock and to leave the slide open if needed. Uncle Mikes for a medium revolver works great at about $25.

Let the slide slowly close on the cable. It doesn't need to be left locked open and could get bumped and slam on the cable anyways.toxic said:
Does the cable not have a rubber plastic lining?
The actual lock could now get in the way however in the case. It's not perfect but it works.
