  • Patent number: 6276086
    Abstract: A trigger cover has two half-shells enclosing the trigger guard and immobilizing the trigger of a gun. The half-shells are held together magnetically, such that an adult level of grip and force is required to separate them. The magnetic force is adjustable by adjusting the gap between a magnet and another magnet or catch piece. Guide pins provide a linear or axial separation path with respect to the magnetic force. The outside surfaces are smooth so that a good grip is required for separation of the half-shells.
