While I agree that 100 years ago the legal climate was different I think the concept of a lawyer using the cutaway trigger guard against a self defense shooter is a very minimal issue. The Fitz special trigger guard bugs me because I think it is unsafe from the user's perspective - the chance of catching the trigger onto something and having an AD is what gets my attention.
Which explains why when I had this Model 64 customized by TheShootist1894 I asked him to relieve the trigger guard, which he did, but to not cut it away. He had recently done a Fitz job for another Forum member and I loved it but for my project I simply did not want that trigger guard removed completely.
You can find the Fitz job that TheShootist1894 did if you search for it.
These are before and after shots of the same gun - I don't think the relieved trigger guard is visible but maybe you can spot it. It is on the left side in the front curve of the trigger guard. The gun was manufactured by S&W with a bobbed hammer, DAO, so that part was easy.
