I choose to leave mine attached to my hand. My father cut his trigger finger off with a saw. It took the shop class three days to find it. By then he had no recourse to go back on his decision. Seriously, I generally, but not always, keep it indexed on the gun where the frame and slide meet for Glocks, because where that finger points is where the gun points. Sometimes, I do prestage some guns on drawing and presenting the gun, but NEVER with a striker fired gun. This is a double action revolver or pistol technique, I have used for 40 years, or so. I have, so far, never had any negligent discharge doing this, and I "NEVER" practice like this at any organized shooting range. I also NEVER go shooting outside of a range alone. Should I ___ up, someone needs to be around to see to it I can get medical attention. Generally I have put a spot of grip tape on all of my pistols that lines up with where to put that trigger finger, so it will point the same exact place as the gun. Point at my target, check my sight picture, then place finger on trigger, and fire the gun. I do prestage a few guns that have a very predictable double action pull. Daewoo DP51, Colt Detective Special, Charter Arms, any revolver, etc. A Sig P226, 228, 220, 225, 229, etc. is not at all a good gun to prestage double action. In 40 years I have had 3 NDs. One was the famous Marlin Model 60 .22LR, that you have to dump two live rounds from before it is clear. The other was a Browning .22 SA, that the ammo's wax had fused all the ammo into a long stick, and that could be called a malfunction. The other was lowering the hammer on an old Stevens single shot shotgun, in freezing rain. Every single time the muzzle was pointed in a safe direction. No ND's with handguns, yet. Old .22s and a shotgun.
