Being British I've only handled a handgun once, and a Kalashnikov (AK47) with a sniper scope just once too. The first when I was a lad and the second as part of training. We also did night training in a huge forest, but the ammunition was only blank.
I do remember being told to keep the trigger finger alongside the guard and not inside, as a sudden shock or surprise could make the trigger finger press and expend a round, which is why there are so many tragedies.
It's interesting line breaks and a double 'the' as well as the omission technique…

i.e.

[of the] gun’s safety
Excellently unsettling! :-)
