Dale Fricke makes kydex trigger "guards" that cover the trigger and trigger housing. Not certain if they are tight enough to prevent the trigger from moving and cocking a revolver?

My wife has really struggle with many handguns and finding comfort, accuracy and confidence. She's found all those.....in a S&W 617 4".

We had a VERY close encounter with a rattlesnake at our place last summer. I was just inches from being struck right in our garden. Was pretty traumatic for her. I made her retrieve the handgun and shoot the snake (CCI shot shells). Loading a 10 round cylinder with 2-3 rounds of shotshells followed by 7 rounds of HP really gives her confidence.

She actually wears her Hill People Gear chest pack very often. I would like to swap out her G19 for the SW 617. She wants to also. So I am inclined not to fight it.

Not sure I am a fan of a revolver with an exposed hammer knocking around in a chest pack though. I could index it on an empty chamber I am sure. Just a lot of "moving parts". She's really taken to the revolver for just those same reasons....minimal moving parts...."Pull the trigger"
