I recently heard a story about someone who was former military who accidentally discharged a gun in his front pocket. Fortunately people around him were not hurt but he wasn"t so lucky. Carrying a gun can be dangerous if you don"t take every precaution to insure that the gun will not discharge accidentally. The Ruger LCP 380 is one of many smaller caliber handguns that do not have a built-in safety, but even if it did, wouldn"t it be smart to have a second line of defense for accidental discharge? The Patent Pending Garrison Grip Trigger StayTM is a simple design that can help make conceal carry a little safer. Another important benefit of the design is when an assailant manages to get your gun and turn it on you, the more safeties you have, the more time it takes for the assailant to figure out how to make the gun functional. Either fight or run. It"s your choice. The all new Trigger Stay is 7/8" in diameter on the sides and 5/8" in diameter in the center and is 3/4" long. Weighing only .2 oz., the Trigger Stay is not carry prohibitive in any way. The Trigger Stay is designed to be wedged between the back of the trigger and the back of the trigger guard. It"s made of a rubber material that has enough flexibility to be pushed out of position with one finger therefore enabling the trigger to be pulled. If your habit is to carry a gun either un-chambered or chambered for minimum response time, the Trigger Stay can be pushed out in less than the time it takes to remove the gun from a pocket, holster or purse and creates one more possible barrier to accidental discharge. The Trigger Stay does not function as an absolute safety. It is only as effective as the user is responsible. This is not in any way considered child safe or humanly infallible. The Buyer must evaluate his or her habits and the way he or she intends conceal, carry and access the gun. I use it and find it to be very effective in allowing me to feel more comfortable in the way I carry.
