Agreed. I've gotten rude at a range before because the guy next to me had his trigger finger inside the guard the whole time he was loading, manipulating or even picking up the weapon. He hurumphed but started behaving himself. Even my girls from a tiny age new to keep the finger along side until a positive target ID was made.03Lightningrocks wrote:This is so true it is scary. I have watched many a novice do just that. On the occasions I see it happen, I react quite rudely...LOL. But I feel I am helping them by being harsh when I see such an indiscretion as this.Purplehood wrote:In my mind, if you haven't already you had better start cultivating the habit of keeping your booger-hook away from the trigger at all times until and unless you intend to pull it. A Lot of novices to firearms are simply drawn to put their little nub on the trigger the instant that they pick it up.03Lightningrocks wrote:I have met many folks who felt uncomfortable with the carry of Glock with a round in the chamber. I think it just seems like it would be easy to accidental fire the weapon due to the simplicity of the trigger pull. Most get over the concern after owning a Glock and firing it a few times. At some point it suddenly becomes apparent that it is no different than any gun...Pull the trigger and it will fire...LOL.
I can definitely understand how a person would feel a double action revolver or true double action semi-auto might be more forgiving of accidental touching the trigger.
