Not a fan of biometrics for trigger guards, but I started taking martial arts and obviously I cannot carry in class. Due to the location and foot traffic in that area, I no longer am putting my firearm in my safe I keep in the trunk. And I don't want it in my safe while driving there and back as I want it accessible. I now keep it in my gym bag in the locker room (no lockers), but because there are kids there too, it has to be secured. I don't think anyone would go through my bag, but it is out of my sight when in class. Thought about buying another slim vault, but it's too bulky and heavy.
So I needed the following:
* Light weight and secure
* Quick access when going to and from class
* No requirement to unload the weapon
* Keep it inaccessible to kids
Looked around and ended up using Identilock. I do like it, though it has obvious weaknesses that would not keep a determined thief from getting access. I would not want to rely on the biometric in a life threatening quick access situation. Anti gun people proposing biometrics for carrying are nuts. Biometrics still fail. I can't open it if sweat or any liquid is on the sensor. I would have to use the key. Getting the cap off to use the key is not easy/quick.
It's a little pricey, but for a temporary/short term safe trigger guard lock that keeps my firearm loaded and only accessible to me, this is working well. https://getidentilock.com/
It can hold three fingerprints and the battery is rechargeable with USB cable. It does open quickly. I could see this being good for the night stand if you do not have a gunvault or other quick access storage at night.
