Off-trigger locator

1. A firearm comprising an off-trigger locator, the off-trigger locator comprising an elongated raised portion on a frame of the firearm adjacent a trigger of the firearm, the elongated raised portion being fixed in position and non-movable on the frame of the firearm, the raised portion being configured to allow a user of the firearm to sense the raised portion with a trigger finger of the user and to move the trigger finger between the raised portion and the trigger without significant movement of a hand of the user, the raised portion comprising longitudinally opposite first and second ends with longitudinal sides extending between the longitudinally opposite ends and a locator surface arranged between the longitudinal sides, one of the longitudinal sides being adjacent the trigger of the firearm and having a shoulder, the other of the longitudinal sides being spaced from the shoulder by at least a portion of the locator surface, the shoulder projecting away from the frame of the firearm a distance that is greater than a distance that the other of the longitudinal side projects away from the frame of the firearm,

wherein the locator surface comprises a circular depression, and

wherein the circular depression has a raised dot configured to allow the user of the firearm to sense the raised dot with a trigger finger of the user.

2. The firearm of claim 1 , wherein the longitudinal side opposite the shoulder has an edge providing a smooth transition to the frame of the firearm from the locator surface.

3. The firearm of claim 1 , wherein the raised portion is formed monolithically with the frame of the firearm.

4. The firearm of claim 1 , wherein the raised portion is adhered to the firearm.

5. The firearm of claim 1 , wherein the off-trigger locator comprises a kit associated with the firearm.

6. The firearm of claim 1 , wherein the raised portion has attachment holes on its longitudinally opposite ends.

7. The firearm of claim 1 , wherein the locator surface comprises a smoothly curved surface extending between the longitudinal sides.

8. An off-trigger locator for firearm, the off-trigger locator comprising an elongated member adapted to be mounted to a frame of the firearm adjacent a trigger of the firearm, the elongated raised portion being fixed in position and non-movable on the frame of the firearm, the member being configured to allow a user of the firearm to sense the member with a trigger finger of the user and to move the trigger finger between the member and the trigger without significant movement of a hand of the user, the member comprising longitudinally opposite first and second ends with longitudinal sides extending between the longitudinally opposite ends and a locator surface arranged between the longitudinal sides, one of the longitudinal sides being adjacent the trigger of the firearm and forming a shoulder, the other of the longitudinal sides being spaced from the shoulder by at least a portion of the locator surface, a width of the member at the shoulder being greater than a width of the member at the other of the longitudinal side,

wherein the locator surface comprises a circular depression, and

wherein the circular depression has a raised dot configured to allow the user of the firearm to sense the raised dot with a trigger finger of the user.

9. The off-trigger locator of claim 8 , wherein the longitudinal side opposite the shoulder has an edge providing a smooth transition to the frame of the firearm from the locator surface when the off-trigger locator is mounted to the firearm.

10. The off-trigger locator of claim 8 , wherein the off-trigger locator comprises a kit associated with the firearm.

11. The off-trigger locator of claim 8 , wherein the member has attachment holes on its longitudinally opposite ends.

12. The off-trigger locator of claim 8 , wherein the locator surface comprises a smoothly curved surface extending between the longitudinal sides.

13. A method comprising:

accessing a frame of a firearm; and

applying an off-trigger locator to the frame of the firearm adjacent a trigger of the firearm, the elongated raised portion being applied in a fixed position and non-movable on the frame of the firearm, the off-trigger locator comprising an elongate member with longitudinally opposite first and second ends with longitudinal sides extending between the longitudinally opposite ends and a locator surface arranged between the longitudinal sides, one of the longitudinal sides forming a shoulder, the other of the longitudinal sides being spaced from the shoulder by at least a portion of the locator surface, a width of the member at the shoulder being greater than a width of the member at the other of the longitudinal side;

wherein the step of applying includes arranging the shoulder of the member to be adjacent to the trigger of the firearm, and in a manner such that a user of the firearm is enabled to sense the member with a trigger finger of the user and to move the trigger finger between the member and the trigger without significant movement of a hand of the user,

wherein the locator surface comprises a circular depression, and

wherein the circular depression has a raised dot configured to allow the user of the firearm to sense the raised dot with a trigger finger of the user.

14. The method of claim 13 , wherein the step of applying includes mounting the off-trigger locator to the frame of the firearm.

15. The method of claim 13 , wherein the step of applying includes orienting the member in a manner such that the user is enabled to sense the depression with the trigger finger of the user.
