Abstract
A firearm has an off-trigger locator and/or guide path. The off-trigger locator may be a depression or a convexity formed on a side of a frame of the firearm adjacent a trigger of the firearm, and may further include a raised portion. The off-trigger locator is configured to allow a user of the firearm to move between the off-trigger locator and the trigger, as necessary, for instance, as the user goes between non-firing and firing conditions. The guide position may comprise a groove or raised ridge formed on a frame of the firearm adjacent a trigger of the firearm and extending from the frame of the firearm into a trigger area adjacent the trigger. The guide path is configured to allow the user to move along the guide path away from and into the trigger area, as necessary, for instance, as the user goes between non-firing and firing conditions.
