A trigger related safety device for a firearm comprising a main trigger and a secondary trigger which is incorporated with the main trigger so that the secondary trigger is movable with the main trigger when the main trigger moves in a first direction when squeezed to fire the firearm, or in a second opposite direction when released;

  • the secondary trigger being reciprocally movable relative to the main trigger between a first or operative and a second or inoperative position; and

    a locking member associated with the secondary trigger which, when the secondary trigger is in the said operative position, serves positively to lock the main trigger to a stationary part of the firearm so preventing the main trigger from moving in said first direction; and

    when the secondary trigger is in the said inoperative position, the main trigger is free to move with the secondary trigger in said first direction;

    the said locking member comprising an elongated pin having a longitudinal axis which extends transversely the said first and second directions, the pin being slidably moveable in at least one direction which extends parallel to the pin'"'"'s longitudinal axis between a first position when one end of the pin engages a complementary catch formation on said stationary part of the firearm when the secondary trigger is in the said operative position to a second position where said one end of the pin is disengaged from the catch formation when the secondary trigger is in said inoperative position.
