Trigger finger

[shootinbil]

On the inside of my trigger finger I got a blister from shooting CM 9. First time out 200 rounds through it with no problems. Except for my finger. Did this happen to anybody else. Is there a fix?

....or lightly file/sand/polish the edges of your trigger

You can polish the trigger with a dremel. Shooting gloves are another option.

Guess is depends on where the blister is... your finger is rubbing against what? trigger? part of the frame?

Finally! A new unique problem with the CM9. Can't help though, over 3000 rounds without a blister of any kind. I would try gb6491's solution. Looks like a sure thing.

I get one on what would be the top of my trigger finger (the top being what's on top when pointing the gun). Mine pinches between the top of the trigger and the frame because I have hands like a gorilla.

Solution: shoot more often to build up a callous. The blister stops happening and you have more fun. Best solution all the way around.

It seems the fingers hitting inside the bottom of trigger Guard.

Is there anything rough on that trigger guard that you can sand smooth? Otherwise yq's advice sounds fun!

I have to put something on my trigger finger some of my Glocks, but not the Kahrs.

You may need to try to put the pad of your finger higher on the trigger and pull back rather than squeezing and letting your finger slide down until it gets to the guard.

This reminds me of my old Keltec P-11 trigger blisters.... finally found a replacement trigger to correct the problem, it was really just a simple adjustment to the inside curve of the trigger that made it comfortable for extended practice sessions. Actually probalbly not related to your problem at all, except for the blister.
( That was a cute bandaid, tho...)

Don't put so much of you finger on the trigger use the pad of your finger not the first knuckle
(This Sounds funny )

I blame it on an allergic reaction. I have a similar reaction to shovels.

I have the same issue on my CW9. I pinch the bottom of my trigger finger on the guard. Can the trigger guard be heated and reshaped to take out the hump?

I don't know the answer to this last question, but it sounds really risky. It seems likely you would damage the serialized frame. It would be better to work only on the trigger itself. If things went wrong, you could replace the trigger for $15.40 plus some outrageous shipping. I can think of two ways to go and I did one for a similar problem. On an old P9, I removed the trigger and polished the bottom of it to diminish its sharpness and stop pinching finger skin. If it had been necessary, I could have taken some material off the trigger's bottom, but polishing was all it needed. It worked well, but if you are not familiar with how to remove and reinstall the trigger, it might be frustrating and slightly risky.
A less challenging way is to simply work on the trigger while in place. With an unloaded gun, cover the trigger guard and anything else which you do not want to scar with masking tape. Using emery paper of 1000 or more grit, cut a small piece and carefully insert it against the trigger bottom and smooth whatever you find necessary. It will probably not take much polishing to just break a sharp edge which is pinching and you can continually test it. Do this with the pistol cocked to hold the trigger in place. (Did I mention it might be better to do this with the gun unloaded?) Take your time and have fun. You can also polish the front of the trigger in the same way, but I would use a 2000 grit for a high polish to allows some slippage during the trigger press which some think can improve accuracy. You can find the emery paper in auto parts stores or Wal-Mart's auto section, because it is used in auto body work. Good luck.

Thanks finpro. I'll give it a try with my Dremel.
