i was just sitting here fondling my SA ultra compact and noticed the trigger lock key slot. I had forgotten it even had one. Does anyone actually use these things? mike |

Quoted: i was just sitting here fondling my SA ultra compact and noticed the trigger lock key slot. I had forgotten it even had one. Does anyone actually use these things? LOL... "fondling", as in..... [?] Nevermind... (sheesh). BTW who makes the SA ultracompact? My Taurus Millennium has a built-in trigger lock. Do I use it? I've had the gun for 1.5 years and didn't remember it was there until you mentioned it. I have external trigger locks for my other handgun(s) and I have never used them, either. The implementation is unacceptable. |

Quoted: You may not be aware that they are there. Not easy to notice. All 3 of mine have them. Did you buy them new? Maybe the early ones did not have them , Not sure. I don't think I have it. My USP 40 was purchased in 96 and the 45 in 98. Both were NIB. Prebans baby! Can you take a pic? |

California requires that a pistol be locked while transporting. On my Tarus revolver the locking device hung from my rear view mirror until people started to know what they were. Didn't want a cop doing a cavity seach or some punk to break the window looking for a pistol locked in my safe. On the Springfield 1911's one just replaces the spring housing for about $12 or so. Easy job. |

Quoted: Yeah, and if you rack the slide with the goddamn thing on, it bends something or other so mags don't drop free with the hammer back. I have to send mine in for service, I'm going to ask them to take the fucking thing out. This is why they come from the factory with a BIG STICKER on the grip that says, "[b]WEAPON IS LOCKED! REFER TO OWNER'S MANUAL[/b]" If you manage to completely ignore the label and force the slide back it bends the hammer strut. You have to [b]force[/b] it back, not simply rack the slide. Technically it's not a trigger lock, but a hammer lock. It's supposed to keep the hammer from moving back far enough to engage the sear, therefore making the pistol inoperable. |
