Does it have an "always on" lock switch or do you have to always keep your finger on the "trigger"?

It has a click switch! Click once to turn on and again to turn off! This is the best spotlight I have ever owned. I will be planning on more in the near future.

Yes it does. You can set it to autolock ( in about 30 seconds, not changeable) or not. There is a set of four small switches that allow you to easily change functions.

Yes it does. It has a safety switch when cocked that has to be turned off to shoot.

As you know the bodyguard doesn't have a switch, just a small little button. I have not had any issues with the laser being accidentally activated.

No the one I had the light stays on. Basically the switch is all the way to the back in the off position. You move it forward one notch with your thumb and you have the flashlight. You move it forward two notches with your thumb and you have the flashlight and the tazer if you press another button underneath your first finger.

The lock is always on. No way to keep it unlocked when closed. You get used to it

It is a switch that stays on until you switch it off. You do not have to hold it down continuously. That would be really annoying!

Yes, it does have an on and off switch. This piece would be awesome if the velcro sticks to the gun.

You hold the power switch. It's a little "trigger" where your index finger would be when holding the handle

No, it does not lock so to operate, slide the switch on top and squeeze the handle. Once the handle is released, it shuts off. It feels comfortable to me.

No trigger lock feature, that would defeat the safety intent of the thing only running when you hold the trigger. Not like the old days when they had on-off switches.

You push it on either with your right or left index finger which is a very natural motion. On is all the way to the left or all the way to the right of the switch. Off is the central position of the switch. My holster (contact troutguy1911@gmail.com) easily prevents inadvertent turn on when holstered.

I wasn't sure what a locking trigger was, so I looked it up. According to Consumer Repts, a locking trigger means you don't have to hold it down while you operate the trimmer ... which also means if you drop it or put it down while it's on, it will stay on until you turn it off ... could be a safety issue. Mine doesn't have a locking trigger, so it took some getting used to, i.e., if you let up pressure on the trigger even a little bit it's going to shut off.

It has ambidextrous paddle switches that cover the front of the trigger guard on both sides... they work great, are conveniently right at my fingertip and quite honestly, I have lasers with grip pressure switches and I find that I don't always want the laser on just having the gun in my hand. I would say probably not to your original question. Also, for the size of the unit it has impressive illumination. Hope this helped.

Yes it does. There is a slide lever on the side of the unit that locks it to on so you don't have to hold down the button.

No, it does not have a locking button you have a handle grip for a safety device for protection.If you let go of the grip it will stop automatically.
