trigger discipline
Off-trigger finger placement
Trigger discipline is the practice of keeping your finger off a firearm's trigger until ready to shoot, resting it along the frame instead.
It's a fundamental gun safety habit that prevents accidental discharges.
The term extends to any careful restraint before taking consequential action: Show some trigger discipline before sending that angry email.
