Bottom Line

The long steel cable and pin on this lock goes through the barrel of your long-gun to make it unable to be fired.

Pros

2 keys. When lock is on, the firing mechanism is completely disabled. Long length on the cable allows you to secure the gun as well as the firing mechanism. Fits well and locks tight. Well built. Good for temporarily securing of your firearm. Works well for AR-15 and other long guns.

Cons

This lock may make it harder to fit your firearm in a carrying bag.

Bottom Line

A good basic lock that is inexpensive and designed to fit nearly any firearm.

Pros

Meets some state safety code requirements. 15" cable. Solid and strong quality. Simple and easier to use than trigger locks. Available for purchase in a 3-pack, keyed alike. A good value on an effective gun lock.

Cons

This lock is not weatherproof and should not be used outside for an extended period of time.

Bottom Line

A set of 4 trigger locks at a decent price that allows you to work with a combination so you never have to worry about finding the right key.

Cons

The dial can be a little tricky to click into place. There are some reliability problems with the product on arrival. Some of the locks might not work.
