How many of you know that trigger locks on a hand gun DO NOT make it incapable of firing??

For single actions this is most certainly true. For double actions, though, I thought that if you put the post BEHIND the trigger, the gun cannot fire. Is this incorrect?

It depends on the pistol. Some pistols won't fire even if you put it in front of the trigger. Unless, of course, you chisel out all the stops so the lock will slide enough to pull the trigger.

Some pistols won't take it behind the trigger. We use a DA Ruger Security Six as one of our demo's in class. Ed puts on the lock - shows them they can still cock it and if he wiggles the TL - it goes Bang. When I have some time, I'll try it on some of our other hand guns. And, the stops have not been chiseled out of the TL. What I'm pointing out here is don't get complacent about a trigger lock keeping your firearm safe from firing - depending on the gun, depending on how careful you are about putting in on, the gun will still go bang.
