Abstract

A firearm has a safety index that may be an elongate depression or an elongate convexity formed on a frame of the firearm adjacent a trigger of the firearm, and may further include a plurality of raised dots. The safety index is configured to allow a user of the firearm to move between the safety index and the trigger, as necessary, for instance, as the user goes between non-firing and firing conditions.
