Trigger lock vs cable lock for handguns. Which is better in terms of safety and security?

Neither is super secure. Cables can be cut and trigger lock can be broken. Invest in a good box.

Why do a lot of people prefer trigger locks than cable?

A quality combination trigger lock, one for each gun and a spare or two.

They really are only there for security theatre though. I bought a box of five on Amazon for under $50.

Get the ones without a tail so that they fit smaller gun cases.
