First, you mean to tell me and the rest of the gun owners, young and old, on this forum that the thing inside the trigger guard is the trigger? And to think I thought it was just for looks. No wonder I can't get my gun to shoot..
Second, you don't think there could be something in someone's pocket that could press the, what u call it, oh yeah trigger accidentally? Someone could slip the gun into their pocket and forget there was a tube of chapstick in there. Or a woman's purse!!! Holy *****, that's a accidental discharge waiting to happen. And from what I've read the shield is catered for ladies and their purses.....IMO this gun has exactly what it needs, a safety for people who want it and need it in a pocket or purse, and a safety! For people who holster it and can chose one way or the other, and it not be in the way if chosen not to use it.....
