Abstract
A pistol has a locking mechanism that locks the trigger mechanism of the pistol if an unauthorized person attempts to fire the pistol. The locking mechanism includes an identification unit to detect an identification signal and a control unit that compares the inputted signal with a stored identification pattern. An electromechanical actuator device actuates a locking element that can be moved into a locked position and into an unlocked position, which in the locked position locks the trigger tongue of the pistol. The pistol locking mechanism has a plurality of display elements that display the operating status of the locking mechanism.
