Keep Your Finger Off the Trigger

The rule is “Keep your finger off the trigger until your sights are on the target.” During the act of placing a handgun in a holster the muzzle is, by definition, off of the target. It’s essential to keep the trigger guard clear as the pistol is placed into the holster.

The picture depicts a polymer holster into which a gunshot was fired. The expended round shown in the picture is nicely expanded.

Keep your finger off the trigger until your sights are on the target.
