And it takes a really good squeeze to open them. So much so that people not familiar with them have a hard time doing it. Once they understand how hard they need to squeeze the trigger guard, they can do it OK, but they often complain. And yes, they do have very nice triggers.

I have handled an Encore, and they open so easily they scare me! The G2 Contender is supposed to open easy as well, but I haven't handled one of them yet.

Since I am used to them, I kind of like the fact that they are difficult to open, it gives me confidence that they are not going to open by accident, no matter what!
