Been shooting Glocks for several decades, including carrying them on and off duty for decades. Never knew 'Glock knuckle' was a thing until I read it on GT. Never bothered me. But then, I never knew Glocks had lousy, gritty, heavy triggers till I read it on GT either....

True. I just can't recall ever being bothered by the trigger guard of a Glock, or any other pistol for that matter. Some folks get a blister on their finger from the dingus on a Glock trigger, but I haven't.

I had a HUGE hard knot on my 2nd finger. You've suggested hard training multiple times throughout several threatds. That's what caused it. Lots of shooting and dry fire. It took me months just to decide to modify the frame and I didn't want to go crazy. It's not like dropping in a new trigger and I'm not one to modify stuff permanently without a damned good reason. But the subtle contouring is just what I needed for MY hands on my pistol. The reason I started the thread was to as a realization that while the initial motivation was comfort (and pain relief) the grand bonus was that I am able to grip the pistol higher to the bore axis now that I can move my hand up on the grip, not being blocked by an unmodified trigger guard.

BTW... You should see what it's like to get ski boots to fit properly because in skiing YOU are the projectile and anything less than perfection can get you in trouble... or killed.

The thing that comes readily to mind was the blisters I got on the outside of my forefinger when taking the Israeli instructors course. Racking the slide over and over against the serrated portion of the slind on that part of the finger got to be pretty brutal after about the 4th day. Several thousand reps will do that in a short period of time!

Were you in Israel for the training?
Israelis are tough. They live in a tough neighborhood and have to be. It's interesting how their training techniques differ from here. Russian SD techinques are different too, especially for civilians as carrying condition 1 is prohibited so their training has to accommodate Condition 3.

We were fortunate and they came to us (us being the regional training facility SEPSI). And absolutely yes, it was brutal. Hardest combat firearms course I’ve ever taken. But very rewarding.
