BASICLY FOR LOOKS.

Actually, it was done to lighten the trigger. Although it has turned into an aesthetic pursuit, there are two ways to lighten a trigger: internally (hollowing out the inside of the trigger), or externally (lateral holes).

Man you got to be kidding me. I was told a long time ago that it was to signify what type of trigger the gun had.
No holes meant a stock trigger. 2 holes meant an upgraded trigger. 3 holes meant a match grade trigger. So that was all bullshit?  |

I thought they had holes, so in a pinch you could use 'em in your Ronco pasta machine.

.......b/s for shure....so far the best trigger i`ve used is the wilson ultra lite....costly but worth it...i tried to replace the trigger in my gold cup....but found that in that case..the factory heavy trigger worked the best..for me....in respect for ed brown les bear..and havn`t tried chip mcormicks latest.....but some of the lesser known aftermarkets triggers cannot compare to the wilson.......

Originally the holes were used to lighten the trigger.
When you have a good light crisp trigger job you can get the pistol to go full auto fire if the trigger is heavy. So on competition guns the triggers used are light low weight trigger. Some people found them "pretty" so they demand the triggers with holes in them. Today we have better alternate lighter materials that are used for triggers. So now it's more of a "looks" thing.
