Glock style trigger guard for revolver

[DoubleJ]

When I shoot, I have always put my left index finger on the trigger guard.  I like Glocks better than most other guns because of this.  Their trigger guard is squared off and ribbed, like they made the gun to be shot like I shoot it.  I am looking for a .357 magnum but I know revolvers don't have this feature.  Any ideas on how I can make the trigger guard like I like it?

I am not sure I am following you, but keep in mind that the blast from the cylinder/barrel gap can be a finger lopper offer in the right gun.

Notice how the trigger guard is squared at the front and kind of flared out and ribbed?  I put my left index finger there instead of over my grip hand.



On the revolver, you'll notice that it's rounded.  I want that squared off like the glock so that I can put my finger there.

Yea, thanks for the pic.  I didn't want to look too hard tonight.

Not trying to be an internet jerk but try taking it off the trigger guard, it serves no purpose putting it there.  In fact you will be much more capable handling recoil with it under the triggerguard.  If you are putting pressure on the trigger guard, hooking it with your week hand, it can be one reason why you might be pulling shots left (if you are right handed) or push it, taking it to the right.  Putting it under the trigger guard will also give you more "surface area" on the grip where as right now you only have three fingers of your off-hand on the grip. 

Don't just believe me though, try using a timer and shoot both ways and watch your splits (time between shots).  Fire a magazine or a cylinder into a backstop without looking at the sights, just look over the top and pull the trigger as fast as you can when the pistol returns from recoil using the method that you use right now.  Then try putting your index finger under the trigger guard and put the meaty part of your off-had in contact as much as you can with the grip and squeeze as much as you can with your off-hand, just until your sights start to wobble. 

If you don't have access to a shot timer, look up "USPSA Timer" or "ISPC Timer" as an app on your phone, you will find a free one there.

Love the analytical approach 300RUm!

I have done all that you have suggested multiple times over the years with my glock.  I am faster emptying a magazine, faster back on target, feel less recoil, and do not pull or push shots with the grip I use.  Placing my finger under the guard, I do not feel as comfortable and the weapon does not feel as secure in my hand.  As said many times before on this site, shooting is all about comfort.  I am more comfortable with my finger on the guard instead of under it and I feel like it lets me shoot better so.  I'm trying to figure out how to get a revolver to allow me to do this because I've been shooting a pistol for almost 20 years like this, have tried to switch to the "proper" form many times, and I'm just not going to be able to make it work.

You are getting into some dangerous territory out there on the trigger guard......wear gloves, one day you will wish you did.

Maybe had a flash guard built into your glock style triggerguard conversion?
