An apparatus and method for securing a firearm from firing by engaging a security lock to a slide at a butt end of the firearm. The security lock has a housing defined by a pair of sidewalls joined by a top plate that defines a slot for receiving a sight on the slide. A controller extends through a rear plate of the housing. A security member is operatively engaged to the controller for being moved between a first position for installing and removing the housing from the slide of the handgun and a second position in which the security member operatively secures the housing to the slide by being disposed between the rear portion of the slide and the handle of the firearm, thereby holding the slide in a partially rearward position with the firearm out-of-battery and the trigger mechanism of the firearm disengaged from the firing pin mechanism. A method of locking firearms is disclosed. The method discloses using a universal key for the lock.

[ What is claimed is:] [1.] A security lock for handguns having a slide rearwardly displaceable in a direction from a muzzle end towards a butt end of the handgun when the handgun is fired with the handgun in-battery, comprising:a housing having a pair of opposing side walls joined together by a top plate attached to the side walls at respective distal ends, the top plate defining an engagement slot therein for receiving a sight extending from a rearward portion of a slide of a handgun, and a rear plate attached to the side walls at rearward side edges thereof;a controller extending through the rear plate of the housing;a security member operatively engaged to the controller and movable in response to the controller between a first position in which the housing is installed and removed from a slide of a handgun and a second position in which the security member operatively secures the housing to the slide in a partially rearwardly position in which a trigger mechanism of the handgun is disengaged from a firing pin mechanism to render the handgun out-of-battery,whereby, the slide, being secured by the security member in the out-of-battery second position is restricted by the security member from returning to an in-battery position and thereby disabling the handgun.
