| The "Finger Forward" or "Finger over trigger guard" grip popularity originated from the competitions that Lt. Col. Jeff Cooper (founder of [[https://www.gunsite.com|"Gunsite Academy"]]) had organized in Big Bear, California. These same competitions were the preface to what is now the [[https://www.ipsc.org|IPSC (International Practical Shooting Confederation)]]. Many very good competitive handgun shooters were observed placing their index finger of the support hand on the trigger guard for stability. Consequently, the squared trigger guard was very in vogue during the ’60s, ’70s, and most of the ’80s. In firearm magazine articles from the 1980s, most if not all of the writers were placing their index finger on the front of the trigger guard. Some writers would bemoan the lack of a trigger guard finger rest if a particular handgun lacked that feature! | The "Finger Forward" or "Finger over trigger guard" grip popularity originated from the competitions that Lt.
