Happened on to some pictures of a WWII British Tommy holding a lend-lease Thompson, with his trigger finger laid along the action above the trigger guard, in a very modern day way.
I do remember our Sergeants worrying about muzzle discipline in 1970, but not especially about where you kept your finger on your M16.
So I got to thinking, just when did the practice of safe trigger finger placement become part of the modern manual of arms?
Any insight on when this became the established practice? As a guess, the advent of Glock, and other modern pistols without a manual safety had something to do with it?
Thanks,
