Veri-Fire's Indiegogo.com Crowdfunding Campaign Pitch Video for Guardian
This is what drove the two men to develop an on-gun trigger lock that opens the weapon for firing only if it senses the right fingerprint, unlocking in less than one second. Veri-Fire's Guardian is a trigger guard that opens with a fingerprint or four-digit code.
Guardian, a prototype by their company Veri-Fire, is a custom adapter that slides completely over and blocks the trigger of the gun until an accepted fingerprint or 4-digit pin is entered. “We wanted something that never actually left handgun. The slide retracts forward and moves forward in front of trigger guard, allows access for you to physically insert finger into trigger well,” Gerrond said of how the device unlocks.

This makes a lot more sense than that other biometric design I've heard of, where the gun itself is programmed only for one person's bio-signature.
BUT... I'd have to see some extensive testing and know what the failure rate, along with how to fix failures is, prior to buying one or more for my own guns.
