Abstract

The invention relates to a method for locking a gun that includes a firing pin and a lock cylinder provided with a lock cylinder bracket. The method comprises providing the firing pin with a recess that essentially conforms to the lock cylinder bracket both in shape and in size, wherein the bracket has at least two positions including a first position and a second position, and that in the first position, the bracket is fitted in the recess, so that the firing pin is movable towards the lock cylinder; and that in the second position, the bracket is not fitted in the recess, thereby preventing the firing pin from moving towards the lock cylinder and consequently locking the gun. The invention also relates to a locking arrangement for a pinlock of a gun. The locking arrangement comprises a lock cylinder provided with a bracket, and a firing pin provided with a recess that essentially conforms to the lock cylinder bracket both in shape and in size. The bracket has at least two positions including a first position and a second position. In the first position, the bracket is fittable in the recess and the firing pin is movable towards the lock cylinder. In the second position, the bracket is not fittable in the recess, thus preventing the firing pin from moving towards the lock cylinder, so that it locks the gun and prevents the cocking thereof.
