| Anybody have a source for those cheap plastic trigger locks? The cheapest I have found is $1.19 ea. Thanks |
|
The good news is we found a company in China that has the simple plastic locks for only $0.26 ea. Bad news is they require a 5,000 piece minimum order, so it would most likely run into $2,000 to $2500 with the cost of shipping.
Guess I need to talk to the local LEOs and see if they have any they want to get rid off...... |

My mistake, I should have said these are for the youth handgun safety act. We have to give a lock with any handgun purchased, and most of the used handguns we buy don't have a lock. Negative - you don't have to GIVE a lock away with a handgun purchase - you have to have trigger locks AVAILABLE for purchase. |

Do you happen to know where to find that information in the ATF regs? Every FFL I have spoke to was under the impression that you HAD to give a lock. Don't mean to offend you or say you are lying just looking for some documentation.... (as I go to look thru the Brady Law legalese in search for myself...) |

You're thinking of the Child Safety Lock Act of 2005 (18 USC 922(z)). And the OP is correct......each transfer of a handgun must be accompanied with some type of safety device, such as a trigger lock or cable lock. As stated above, many get their locks from the local police/sheriff dep't. |

Fortunately for me, every handgun I've sold in the past three years has come with a gun lock, or had one built in, or I'd have been out of compliance. I've got a box of cheap random trigger locks that my various distributors have bundled with my orders over the years - if that box runs out, I'll have to order some up and pass along the cost. |

Or you can just offer to sell your safe for whatever price. That's what the inspector told me in my meeting. Now where can you get gun locks for $1.19 for? One of our wholesalers Ellett Brothers has the cheap plastic Chinese locks for $1.19ea. I have no problem passing the cost on to the customer, but it does irritate me to $1.19 for a $0.25 lock. Here is the type of lock I am talking about:

| Were a Pawnshop and we order them through M&M wholesale, they sell electronics and stuff. We get them in three packs for $1.59 for three. They're made by Bellocks and are just like the DAC's you posted pictures of earlier. But if you can't get those Sport South has the DAC's for $0.90 a piece. |
