Trigger Finger Discipline:
Trigger discipline refers to the essential practice of keeping one's finger away from the gun's trigger until the decision to shoot is made. Instead of placing your finger on the trigger or within the trigger guard, it should be kept straight, resting alongside the gun's frame.
This practice, distinct from trigger finger placement, is crucial to prevent inadvertent trigger pulls, which can lead to unintended discharges. Trigger discipline is a cornerstone of firearm safety and should be instinctive whenever a gun is in hand.
It's imperative for individuals to uphold this discipline not only during shooting sessions at the range but every time they handle a firearm, regardless of whether it's loaded. Neglecting trigger discipline with an unloaded firearm can lead to hazardous habits when handling a loaded one.
Here are some scenarios where I often noticed shooters carelessly placing their "finger on the trigger":
1. Engaging with an unloaded firearm at the sales counter.
2. When sliding the rack to chamber a bullet.
3. Handling their firearm at the firing line with no intention to shoot.
4. While placing their firearm in a holster.
5. During the act of reloading the magazine.
It doesn't matter how "hi-speed" you are, do not carelessly have your finger on the trigger unless you're ready to shoot.
