A few days ago a newbie asked me how to use the external lock that came with his new semi-auto pistol.  (The master lock kind of lock that comes with most guns.)

I honestly had to tell him "I don't know".

He said, "All these years of owning guns and you don't know how to use this lock?"

I looked at him like .

Did you explain to him why you didn't use the lock? (Gun safe, etc.)

Hopefully you redeemed yourself?

Should have told him the real use for them.  Fishing sinkers.

If it's a master-lock style lock, it's probably a keltec with the little red plastic ring that goes through the trigger guard, or a hi-point...



which one?

If it's a trigger lock, you just keep turning the key counterclockwise and it unscrews.

I keep them around for various things. They make nice cabinet locks for example. With most pistols they are meant to be run through the ejection port and down the mag well with the slide locked back. Before I had a safe I used them on   everything but what I was carrying/not left out at night for HD. Two small children too young to understand the fundamentals of gun safety and a paranoid wife will make you think a little differently.
