Your Most Carried S&W

[BigBill]

I don't carry my smiths. Ruger's are for carrying.

Simple. Keep your finger off the trigger. If you're not trained enough to keep your finger off the trigger then when you holster the holster pushes against your finger which pushes against the trigger. With an open trigger if something gets stuck in front of the trigger there's no holster to push against.
We got along with open triggers for decades. There was the occasional ND but not near like what we saw after the covered trigger became the fad. The covered trigger was an attempt to keep people from putting their finger on the trigger while drawing. It was to compensate for poor training/practice. Can't blame the person for putting his finger on the trigger. It's the holster's fault. Blaming the person might hurt their self esteem and subject them to ridicule. It's not proper to blame the person because they're poorly trained or have no training. Blame the object. "See what you made me do?"

I didn't think I came across as saying people shouldn't learn to keep their fingers off the trigger. I thought someone had said ND's were less likely if your finger was on the trigger with the open holsters and my thought was either type could be an issue with your finger on the trigger. So yeah, finger off the trigger.

I think my bigger concern for the open trigger holsters are twigs and branches and other stuff that might catch on the trigger while going about your business. I would have to take your word for it that they were less likely to have ND's. I guess I'm just not used to the open type and trying to understand them.

My most frequent carry gun is a M431PD in 32 H&R magnum.

I carry it with Critical Defense 80 gr ammo.

When not carrying the 431PD I carry either my LCR327 or LCR357.

Always pocket carried.
