Indeed sir, your assumption is correct.....
He was quick to analyse the components of a gun that enhanced shootability....To him , they either had it or they didn't have it.....he quickly disposed of those that lacked his requirements...

OK, O wise ones. I've heard all of you. Now, of these two shotguns of mine one bites the middle finger and the other doesn't. Which one and why? (Correct answers will get a special prize). Correct answer is probably the reason OP is having a problem.

I'll bite........ the top gun beats up your second finger, the bottom one does not.

Bottom gun bites more in my opinion. Triggers further apart and pistol grip more abrupt, in my opinion. Maybe Im wrong but I doubt it. Thumbhole may be similar but this geometry is complex. One comb is higher than the other.

I'm with SRH.
Nice guns too. Send the biter to me for additional training.

The "thumb holes" are not similar, IMO. The top gun has much less room in front of the nose of the comb for the hand, thus pushing the second finger further forward, into the rear of the guard.

Looking again, I think you are right onTHAT, Stan. The nose comb to breech face measurement is not the same. But you are wrong elsewhere. ;-). Thumbhole measurement is complicated, but it needs to be right.....surely you agree??? And, on these 2 guns, one is a sidelock , the other a boxlock which even complicates it all the more.

As I said originally, none of them bite me that way. So, I'm just guessing.
Survey says ...............?

My guess is that the bottom is the culprit due to the longer trigger bow as well as the radius of the grip being more abrupt.
