When I try to fire these guns, not including the .32's, I find the tip of my finger hits the frame before the hammer drops at the end of the trigger stroke. Before I figured that out, it felt like the trigger stacked really badly at the end, as it seemed I had to squeeze really hard to get the last 3/16" of trigger travel. Now I have smallish to average hands, and I do not have particularly long fingers. I found that to run the gun consistently, I had to use my fingertip pad, SA style. That's ok for practice, but when I try and snatch the gun in a hurry, a la defensive use, I inevitably try to run the trigger with my first joint, classic DA style, which brings on the finger-frame conflict. When that happens, the first shot goes south someplace (Rats!), or simply fails to fire (Yikes!). THIS IS NOT MY IDEA OF WHAT A CONCEALMENT/DEFENSIVE GUN TRIGGER SHOULD BE LIKE! that's unfortunate, because I like the small, lightweight, easily tucked away feel of the piece. they also have good recoil characteristics, even with heavy-bullet .40 loads.
Is this my imagination? Do I just have funny hands? Do I have my head up my a--? (It wouldn't be the first time.) has any one else had this issue? My friend has a Kel-Tec .40 that he's trying to get me to buy, because his hands are even bigger than mine, and the problem is worse for him. He said the trigger felt like a staple gun, which did not inspire confidence, although that aspect did not interfere with function. I would love to hear some input on this from more than just the two of us.
