Except when the competitor is actually aiming or shooting at targets, all movement (see Appendix A3) must be accomplished with the fingers visibly outside the trigger guard.

If a competitor holsters a loaded firearm or places a PCC or handgun on a stable surface at any time during a course of fire, it must be placed in the applicable ready conditions (see Section 8.1). Violations will be subject to match disqualification (see Rule 10.5.11).

For a single action self-loader the safety must be applied.

For double action self-loaders and revolvers the hammer must be down, or, if present, the safety applied if the hammer is cocked.
