Yeah it's better than nothing, but it's just a gesture to use that kind. The trigger lock type is actually more secure.

Respectfully disagree. There are good cable locks and there are crappy ones. I would suggest that you had one of the latter.

On the other hand, I've seen trigger locks that could be popped apart with a large screwdriver. I've seen guns that, because of the shape of their trigger guards, could be fired with a trigger lock in place. I've seen people try to secure a lever action rifle with a trigger lock. It doesn't work.

It's all relative.
