A biometric trigger lock to be removably installed on a pistol, the biometric trigger lock comprising:
- a first body having a first length that extends a distance away from a first side of a trigger guard, and a first width less than a distance between a trigger and the trigger guard, such that the first length is greater than the first width, the first body comprising:
- a biometric sensor disposed on a surface of the first body, and
- a latching mechanism disposed within the first body and electrically connected to the biometric sensor to move from a latched position to an unlatched position in response to a finger of an authorized user touching the biometric sensor;
- and
- a second body having a second length that extends a distance away from a second side of the trigger guard, and a second width less than a distance between the trigger and the trigger guard, such that the second length is greater than the second width, the second body comprising:
- a pin extending from a side portion of the second body and including a latching tip to detachably connect to the latching mechanism.
A biometric trigger lock to be removably installed on a pistol, the biometric trigger lock comprising:
- a first body having a width and a height less than a distance between a trigger and a handle of the pistol, such that a first end of the first body is curved and a second end of the first body is substantially straight;
- and
- a second body having a width and a height less than the distance between the trigger and the handle of the pistol, the second body comprising:
- a pin extending away from a side portion of the second body toward the first end of the first body to be detachably connected within a curved portion on a first end of the first body.
