If the pistol has a magazine-release button on both sides, the trigger finger begins curled with tip resting upon the forward surface of the release button. From here, the finger travels along the frame inside the rear of the trigger guard until it fills the gap between the rear of the trigger and the frame. The purpose is to use the trigger finger to mechanically block rearward movement of the trigger. The gun begins its descent into the mouth of the holster with the finger behind the trigger. Once the mouth of the holster accepts the trigger guard and there is no longer room for the index finger, the position is released and gun is fully seated.
My take:
After you’ve shot somebody, with sirens screaming and smoke billowing and people crying, you’re SURE your finger will be BEHIND the trigger and not in front of it. Right.
Glocks have two flaws: Pulling the trigger has a function BESIDES discharging the weapon, and the “safety” is ON the trigger… so anything that accidentally snags the trigger can also disengage the safety.
Deliberately ticking something INSIDE the trigger guard of ANY gun when you DON’T want to fire is is just stupid. Training to do so and then attempting it in an emergency is Darwin-worthy.
