Description
The Bulldog BD8001 is one of those no-nonsense pieces of gear that just does its job. It slips into the trigger guard, ratchets down snug, and locks with a key so nobody gets to the trigger without your say-so. Because the ratchet is adjustable, it works across a wide range of trigger-guard shapes and sizes, which is why it fits most handguns, rifles, shotguns and modern sporting rifles rather than being tied to one platform.
How the BD8001 Trigger Lock Holds Up
The locking mechanism is a positive-locking ratchet design, so once you clamp it down it stays put until you turn the key. There's no fumbling with dials or codes here, just a simple keyed lock that's fast to set and fast to remove when you need the firearm ready. Two keys come in the package, which is handy since one can live on your keyring and the other can stay tucked away as a spare.
Keeping Your Finish Scratch-Free
One detail that sets this Bulldog lock apart from the cheap universal locks is the cushioned pads and protected pins. They sit between the metal of the lock and the metal of your gun, so you're not grinding a hard surface against your bluing or Cerakote every time you set it. For anyone storing a nicer firearm, that finish protection is worth its weight.
This is a straightforward storage and transport accessory built for folks who want to keep a firearm out of reach when it's tucked in a closet, a range bag, or a vehicle. Bulldog has been building carry and storage gear for decades, and the BD8001 fits right into that reputation: simple, affordable, and made to last. If you're after basic trigger security without overthinking it, this one covers the bases.

Frequently Asked Questions
What firearms does the Bulldog BD8001 trigger lock fit?
The BD8001 is a universal-fit lock designed to work with most handguns, rifles, shotguns and modern sporting rifles. The adjustable ratchet mechanism lets it clamp down on a range of trigger-guard shapes and sizes, so it isn't tied to a single platform. If your firearm has a standard trigger guard, this lock should seat right in.
How many keys come with the BD8001 keyed trigger lock?
It ships with two keys. That gives you one to keep on your keyring and a spare to store somewhere safe in case the first goes missing. Since it's a keyed lock rather than a combination, there's no code to remember.
Will the trigger lock scratch or mar my firearm's finish?
No, that's exactly what the design guards against. The lock uses cushioned pads and protected pins that sit between the lock and your gun's metal, so it won't grind against your bluing or coating when installed. That makes it a solid pick for storing a firearm you care about.
Is the Bulldog BD8001 good for travel and transport?
Yes, it's a practical choice for keeping a firearm secured while it's in a range bag, a vehicle, or in storage at home. It installs quickly in the trigger guard and locks with the key, so you can set it and remove it fast when you're ready to use the firearm.
