Crimson Trace and Rule #3

[DeepSouth]

I can't believe this is on page 3.

Just move your finger down a little bit, it really is that simple. Just because you move it down doesn't mean you have to bend it and insert it into the trigger guard.

That there new-fangled stuff

I have always placed my index finger beneath the trigger guard until I’m ready to fire. Perhaps my hands are suitable for this whereas other person’s hands are not.

With this method I can relax my second finger and not turn on the laser until needed. When I’m ready to fire I tighten my grip, which turns on the laser, with my finger on the trigger.

My handguns are for self defense at close range and I don’t intend to take a Weaver Stance, take a deep breath and hold it, aim with the sights, and fire. I practice drawing, aligning the laser, and firing to put my shots into a piece of typing paper at 20 feet as quickly as I can. I have a lot of property and substantial backstops to practice on. This might be a problem for those who have to use a range.

However, my pickup, which has a good tire, has a manual 3 plus granny on the floor and I don’t like them new fangled automatic transmissions, they’re just a fad that’ll pass and be forgotten any day now. And you can take that there electronic ignition and that there fancy fuel injection and you know what you can do with it.

The problem is you're going to have to put your finger on a light single action trigger to get it out of the way of the laser.

No, not even.

^^^Bingo. We're talking 1/8 inch or so. Don't overthink it; don't make it more difficult than it needs to be.
