Grip Safety

The term for the pictured safety device on firearms is a grip safety. This is a mechanism that prevents accidental discharge of the firearm by requiring a firm grip on the handle or grip of the firearm before the trigger can be pulled. Option A, a trigger lock, is a physical device that is separate from the firearm and can only be applied when the gun is not in use. Option C, a manual safety, is a mechanism that must be manually engaged or disengaged, whereas a grip safety is automatically engaged when the firearm is gripped. Option D, a firing pin block, is a mechanism that prevents the firing pin from moving forward to strike the primer unless the trigger is pulled, whereas a grip safety prevents the actual trigger from being pulled.
