If you’re not ready to pull the trigger or your sights are not on your target, keep your finger off the trigger.

Extend your index finger on the slide or frame of the gun, as high you can and away from the trigger guard.

Keep your finger off the trigger until you are ready to fire is a simple rule that can prevent accidental discharges. Good trigger discipline takes practice, but it is always worth the effort.
