ABSTRACT:
A firearm is provided customarily equipped with a shiftable trigger body portion mounted from the frame of the firearm for movement between a firing position and a release position and incorporating an outwardly projecting arcuate tang portion engageable by a user's trigger finger and enclosed within a trigger guard. The instant invention resides in the removable mounting of the finger engageable tang portion from the body portion of the trigger and, further, the construction of the finger engageable portion as a continuous peripheral ring shaped member which may be conveniently retained on a user's trigger finger during periods of non-use of the associated handgun. In a first disclosed form of the invention the ring-type trigger finger engageable portion is removably secured to the body portion of the trigger through the utilization of threaded shank-type fasteners and in a second disclosed form of the invention the ring-shaped finger engageable portion merely includes an outwardly projecting shank telescopingly receivable within an outwardly opening recess formed in the body portion of the trigger. The removability of the finger engageable portion substantially eliminates accidental firing of the handgun.
