The deliberate act of not putting your finger on the trigger until you're ready and have decided to shoot substantially cuts down on AD's and ND's.
Having your gun go off in your pocket is not really related to your finger on the trigger, but rather the action type of the firearm itself.
We can all say "finger off trigger til ready to shoot" , and repeat the 4 rules of safety till blue in the face. People still break them every day. Some designs are more forgiving of mistakes than others. Some are not.
For my money, a true DAO is by far the safest action type for pocket carry. Hency my affinity for the LCP1 and specifically the Custom/10A models.
