"We are pleased and proud to welcome Curtis Sliwa to Saf T Lok's Board of Directors. His many years of dedication and active participation in fostering community safety and security will

whose products greatly enhance firearms security and promulgate greater public safety."
STL Incorporated is the manufacturer of the Saf T Lok(R) hand gun safety locks. The Company's patented combination gun locks, for revolvers and semi- automatic handguns become an
integral part of the firearm so there is nothing to remove, no keys or rings to find and no batteries to fail. The "touch- sensitive" combination allows for operation of the lock -- even in the dark.
Unlike trigger locks, which require guns to be unloaded, the Saf T Lok(R) gun locks attach to the grip or magazine of a handgun and blocks the weapon internally so it cannot be fired, even if it is
loaded and the trigger pulled. Only someone who knows the combination can use the gun or remove the lock.
