>>We are taught to not put our fingers inside the trigger housing until we are ready to shoot. I must have pulled my gun a thousand times, but most of the time my finger stayed outside the guard.

>So you train snap shooting starting from that configuration ? Just seems a *lot* slower. I cannot even imagine it, but I guess I'm too old or my fingers are too long <g> I can see where it would prevent accidents, but my assumption would be that if you have a weapon pointed at somebody (or are going into a situation where you may have to do so very quickly) you *are* ready to shoot.

Snap shooting is different. You are committed to shooting. If you do a building entry, though, you will have your gun out with the finger along the trigger guard.
