Abstract: The present invention describes a secured firearm, including semi-automatic pistols and revolvers, which has a permanently mounted locking device 1 in front of a trigger guard 3 and under a barrel 4. The locking device 1 locks a locking bar 7 which restricts the movement of a slide 5 or a cylinder 30, thereby disabling the secured firearm. The locking device 1 is attached to the outside of the secured firearm. Therefor, the impact on the inside of the secured firearm can be minimized. Any kind of lock can be used as the locking device 1 as long as it is compact enough to be installed in the housing of the locking device 1. For example, a key lock, a combination lock, an electric lock, and a biometric lock such as fingerprint authentication are all applicable to the locking device 1. The locking device 1 is fixed to the secured firearm firmly with screws from inside of the frame, whereby unauthorized dismantling of the locking device 1 is prevented.
