Golden rule of gun safety: finger off the trigger until you're ready to shoot!

Keep your finger off the trigger (indexed) until your sights are on the target. The rule is to keep your finger off the trigger until your sights are on the target. What we mean by that is not just keeping your finger technically off the trigger. What we're saying is index your finger. Indexing your finger is not just keeping it outside the trigger guard. Your finger needs to rest high up on the slide. If you're not indexed up on the slide, it's easy to get that finger down in the trigger guard, on the trigger when you don't intend to.
