To: real saxophonist

I worked in cop shops a long time, and periodically something like this would happen back in the good old revolver days. A guy would "dress up" his revolver by putting one of those gawd awful ugly trigger shoes on because a gun magazine writer said it would solve all his shooting problems. The trigger shoes were wider than the trigger guard on most revolvers, so the trigger was no longer shielded or guarded on the sides. The trigger shoes would sometimes hang up on the lip of certain kinds of holsters and blow a hole in the guy's leg.

There were also some that would thin the front of the trigger guard, an equally bad idea.

Any bets on whether there are some individuals out there that have done both?
