I practiced holstering my firearm in the mirror several times a week and always try to keep my trigger finger off the trigger guard. I point the finger away from the pistol (out to the side) or ill curl it into my palm to make sure its no where near the trigger guard. If you are concerned, you can try one of those safe-t blocks that you pop in behind the trigger to prevent an AD. Although you have to remember to pop it out before you pull the trigger and that again is something you have to train for.

Don't get me wrong, as I own Glocks too, and they do require some extra caution. But, one day I'm going to find out who "they" are, because I strongly disagree with them. If the above quote were true, they would have to unequivocally state that "they" had never:

1. Tripped
2. Cut themselves
3. Burned themselves
4. Caught themselves exceeding the speed limit when they didn't intend to
5. Shocked themselves
6. Hit their finger with a hammer
7. Added, subtracted, or multiplied incorrectly
8. Spilled a drink, or dropped a plate
9. Had a minor or major accident of any kind, due to their own fault
10. etc., etc., etc.

Unintentional inattention is a human trait, and no amount of brain power will prevent it. I'm not saying that with weapons you don't need to be extra careful regardless of safeties, but safeties are things that work when "you" (gray matter) fail, which we all do on a regular basis. End of rant

OK, but some of us try harder than others.
