Compact semi auto pistols.

I have three from different manufacturers. All three have an annoying feature. The forward edge of the trigger opening is a sharp corner. After releasing the trigger, the edge digs into my finger.

Could they not take an extra step and bevel that somewhat?

I not ready to break out the Dremel, but...

    Glock can be melted away. Have no problem making modifications. Fitz knew what he was doing.

    Myself, I prefer an older light J frame Smith w/o the Hillary hole.

    What brand and model of compact auto pistol are we talking ?

    I have a Colt Mustang plus2 that fits my hand well, as to where the Colt Mustang has too small of a grip for my hand. The Colt 380 Government fits well but with longer barrel. As far as the trigger guard, they’re all rounded and smooth. Tried a friends Ruger LCP and did not care for the trigger or size grips, also the grips were to sharpen that dug into my hand.

    If it was a pistol I liked and didn’t plan on getting rid of and planned on carrying, I would break out the Dremel.

    Have you looked into some of Khar pistols? Perhaps they would be more to your liking as they have very smooth edges all over.


    Of course for less than the price of a new pistol you likely could have a good pistol smith smooth out any edges on your current piece you don't like.

    I carry a KAHR CW40 in my vest. Great pistol and has never had a problem.

    I carried a K40-Elite 98 for years. Never even a hick-up & I liked the extra weight of the full SS model. Hmmm, time to get it out again.

    Toolman, you carried for 98 years? Just how old are you?

    One of my regret was selling my Kahr K40 that discharged anything that went in to the pipe. I really needed to knock down the cost to get my Springfield M25 so she went. I wasn't a fan of the plastic Kahrs. I think it was that side hatch that made it look cheap. Not too long ago I found the Harrt's mercury recoil reducer guide rod for the K40.
