Purpose of holes drilled in trigger guard?

Ugh!
Lightening cuts? (add the sarcasm as you may…)
Seriously, that’s like defacing a Classic 3rd. Generation.
I’ve never seen any sort of accessory mounted in that fashion.

I assume it could be some sort of trigger lock.
S&W did offer a terrible trigger lock at one point but it only used one hole -

Those guns are so heavy that S&W offered a tow behind trailer kit for them. That's where the axle mounts.
In the first picture it looks to me like they are threaded.
There you go! The Saf-T-Trigger. WoW.
1) The holes look threaded.
2) The holes aren't even lined up with each other!
Purpose?
Only Bubba knows for sure. But, maybe not even him?
Let's assume the holes are cleanly drilled and tapped. You could find a length of matching threaded rod made of stainless steel. Then, cut off a slightly over-length piece for each hole and thread them in and set them in with permanent loctite.
Then dress them down to match the contour of the trigger guard.

Maybe the holes are for mounting the pistol in a test fixture. Might keep someone from having to hold the pistol while testing ammunition. I could see an LE Agency doing something like that for durability testing. I’d much prefer a ransom rest but someone might look at that 4006 as test specimen. Maybe someone was testing a forced reset trigger, lol.
I think there would have to a better idea than drilling two holes in the trigger guard but I like guns.

So, to summarize, so far the answer is no.

They are for hot summer days at the range, to allow the sweat to drain off your trigger finger.
That's probably as rational as the real reason someone butchered that gun.

There should be a specific post about all these “different “ modifications individuals have done and we have seen. It reminds me of the old Yankee magazine, (I think anyway,) that my parents used to get. There was always a what is THIS article in the back.
I can’t speculate about the holed trigger guard or other things I, (we,) have seen.
Some will probably remember the very strange 41 that I attached an image of. The other 41 was advertised as a custom ported example. (Uneven ports on the bottom?)

Wow that is a horrible idea. The size of the hole looks pretty close, I wonder if someone drilled too far back at first by accident in this example.

Would be a BIG pass for me! Wouldn't want to have to deal with fixing that!

Steel termites, found some evidence of them in a couple of 1903s I bought a few years ago.
I was thinking the same thing as I recall back when I purchased a Ransom Rest at my dept for ammo evaluation. I thought it was impractical since we were buying state bid ammo - but we did it anyway cause the boss wanted to know what an accuracy test would reveal. Guess I could have just drilled a couple of holes in the trigger guard and mounted it to a board?
Drain holes, to properly rid the trigger area of water when exiting in "ready" mode.
