The Best Resting Trigger Finger Position - Critical Mas Ep. 06 with Massad Ayoob

Keeping your trigger finger off and away from the bang switch is one of the absolutely critical best practices to prevent accidental discharges. Some instructors teach to keep the index finger near the ejection port, others, to keep it forward of the trigger guard. Both of these methods miss the mark in some important ways, and Mas has his own suggestion about where to rest your finger to keep it out of trouble while retaining stronger control of your gun.
