[My review of the Vinci]

I don't know. It does look a little different but I'm not sure it's enough. In fact, with it being flat on the back now in lieu of the original tapered design, it might be worse. Unless they're willing to let me demo one or someone has useful feedback I'm thinking the SBE II might be a better option. It's not a price issue, it's a comfort issue. I do like Benelli and I've killed a lot of different birds with mine but my middle finger is still jacked up from the last day of duck season down here and that was over a week ago.

^^ Thanks for the reply. Yes, I see what you mean: ("I had hit my finger a few times when I was wearing a [cheap] thin pair [of] Cabela's liner gloves. Back of the guard my middle finger.”)

 

I haven’t fired enough rounds through a Vinci to notice soreness from bumping the middle finger on the rear of the trigger guard. However, I did notice that the rear part of the trigger guard is quite thick, and it does press against your middle finger when positioning your hand on the pistol grip. The space is very tight.

 

 

I’m not sure why the rear of the trigger guard is so wide (deep) on the Vinci. It might be for structural strength to provide rigidity to the lower component?

 

Most of the complaints you read about the Vinci relate to the trigger guard and the safety. Fixes for these problems might be a larger throw-bolt for the safety (more protrusive) and a trigger guard that is less deep in its rearward dimension.

I registered and got on here just to see if anyone else has a problem with the trigger guard. By problem I mean having the back of the trigger guard hitting the middle finger. I don't have a problem with it unless I'm shooting high-brass express or the Hypersonic 1700fps. Frankly, I can't shoot the Hypersonics, it's just unbearable. I don't think it's a trigger guard design issue, I think it's because the stock compresses so much in order to minimize recoil and allows the trigger guard to "back up" too much. The standard Black Cloud 1350fps ammo doesn't do it. Don't get me wrong, I love the Vinci's we have but I'm thinking I have to go another route if I want to use the high-powered ammo. I'm thinking this may be the downside to the recoil reduction system in the stock and all models set up like this are going to have the same issue. I can't imagine shooting 3.5" mags in a Super Vinci since it has the same trigger guard set up. Maybe a SBE II for the ducks and geese? Ideas?
