摘要： A gun trigger safety device for double action revolvers and other guns which holds the trigger in an unfireable position is disclosed. The gun trigger safety device comprises a plug that is molded to conform to the space defined by the inner perimeter of the gun trigger guard behind the trigger. The trigger is held in an unfireable condition when the plug is properly inserted. The gun trigger safety device includes flexible, asymmetrical flanges formed on both sides thereof which partially extend around the trigger guard and the rear edge of the trigger to secure the safety device in position. The flange on the entering side of the gun trigger safety device will bend as it is pushed into the trigger guard housing behind the trigger. The leading edge of the entering flange is radiused to facilitate insertion of the device into its functional position behind the trigger. In one embodiment the asymmetrical flanges are configured so as to be released from the right side of the weapon by right handed persons. In an alternative embodiment the asymmetrical flanges are configured so as to be removed from the left side of the weapon by left handed persons. This unidirectional release function reduces the chance that a child or an uninitiated person will inadvertently release the device. The gun trigger safety device is fabricated with different surface finishes to match the guns coloration in order to disguise the fact that the weapon is in a disabled condition.
