I've been to the range several times lately. This gun shots great. But I am still walking away with my finger sore and one time I had a visible blister.

So today I decided to call SA. Talked to a lady who assured me trigger slap was normal and advised me to buy a shooting glove or wait for a callus to form. That is exactly what she told me. I just laughed, thanked her for her time and hung up.

What gives? What should I do now? I've heard great things about SA customer service, but how stupid does this lady think I am?

Who here has actually sent their XD back to SA with this problem? And did they fix it?

Thanks,

Chad

So I'm not the only one with a blister?

I've taken to wearing a band aid on my finger. I kept blood-blistering my trigger finger and would shoot again before it healed. It got pretty ugly for a while. The callous is forming nicely, but it's really annoying.

Of course, I was shooting a lot (200 - 600 rounds a week) so my wife told me I should slow down. I just figured I needed to shoot more to build the finger up.

I also have a sore trigger finger after leaving the range today.

I have a pair of Hatch shooting gloves but just did not use them today.

You guys shooting the 357 SIG or the 40?

I went from the 357 SIG to the 45 ACP and the 45 shoots so much better that this problem is gone and shooting is a 100% more enjoyable and I am much more accurate.

Regards

Try shooting a CZ100. That trigger slap will bruise your finger in 10 rounds it is so hard. I just bought the XD40 Tatical at a gun show this past weekend and loved the way it shot. My friend who owns a Glock 22 with 3# trigger job said he even thought the XD nicer on the finger.

.40 subcompact

I have never gotten a blister shooting, Garand thumb

, but not a blister!

Maybe it has something to do with career fields.

I'm tryin' to think of a career field that would build up a thick callous on the end of your trigger finger...........

any takers?

The person who pushes the big red button. Or someone who plays a string instrument flat fingered instead of w/ their finger tips.
