Pete; We never had the chance to see photos showing us your gun and then a photo of your hand on the grip, unfortunately. I�m not good at posting photos here or I would have done it for you. It may be, from what you describe that the front trigger may need to be bent back a bit but it could be the thumbhole too. Impossible to tell without photos. I agree, a lengthened stock isn�t going to cut the mustard. Bottom line, the gun does not fit you. Anyway, good luck.

2-piper. I have had several "friends" who like to play the gorilla hand shake game for reasons which elude me. Not by accident for certain like your friend. I quickly learned how to reverse it and made a point on not stopping my grip until tears formed in their eyes, they started breathing with labor or they asked for mercy. It took a while for the word to get around to not play that game with me and then for the dumb ones to try their luck with me anyways. Can't say I never lost one of those stupid games but almost every time someone has tried it they came up with a numb hand.

I suspect my father was right when he told me that a working man could do things without thought that a office worker types needed effort to do. His point was that men who used their hands to make a living had much more natural strength than almost all others. We use to call it country strong for those who grew up on the farm. I was one of those boys. By age eight or nine I was big as most twelve year old kids and I could easily move hundred pound bags of fertilizer, two cement blocks in each hand or bags of cement all day long. Glad I don't have to do it anymore that was a lot of work.

Hey KY Jon, I�m a bit confused....how do big hands effect being a dentist vs an Ob-Gyn physician? I could see an ophthalmologist with Paul Bunyan hands being a problem, but can Paul Bunyan stick his hands more easily into someone�s mouth as opposed to a female vagina? Hmmmmm......

Buzz, I can't post pictures here, But I can email them if someone will post them for me.

If you wish you are welcome to email me a picture of you shouldering the gun as you normally would to shoot with a closeup of the action and grip with your hand location. I'll get it posted for you...Geo

Email's in my profile.

I sent the pictures last night George, I appreciate you posting them for me, thanks.
Pete

Here you go Pete. Maybe one of the shooting experts around here can diagnose the problem, but it looks to me like one of those Galazon rubber thingies would get your middle finger out of harms way...Geo

Question
After nine pages of discussion, have you tried

Trigger is too far forward. Your hand does not appear to be engaged in the thumbhole. Try moving your hand back further and engaging only the very tip of your index finger on the front trigger. As it is now, your middle finger abuts the trigger guard. It�s no wonder you are taking a beating. Front trigger may have to be bent to accommodate you. At least this is how it appears to me. As mentioned earlier in this thread, with double triggers one wants to set up for the rear trigger, not the front trigger.

Your triggerguard is almost identical to my Sauer pictured on page 6. It is oversized and pressing into the finger while just holding it. With any recoil the edge of the guard is going to get your attention.

I solve it by sliding my hand rearward so only the ball of my forefinger engages the front trigger. Great when mechanically shooting clays but crappy cure if shooting real targets spontaneously.

Buzz, I don't think the grip shown is how he shoots but was the best he could do with one hand while trying to take a selfie picture. (And in the good ole USA that's the "comb" not the thumbhole.
