New member AND Vinci owner

[Holzie]

Just got back from ND waterfowl hunting and had a question. Has anyone experienced the trigger guard of their Vinci hitting in between their first and middle finger? After a day of shooting it was kinda sore. Any recommendations or fixes out there?

I experienced that problem when I first started shooting my Vinci, but for whatever reason, It is no longer a problem with me. The grip is a more ergonomic design than a standard grip and may be the initial cause of this "phenomenon" but, I'll bet you make a subconsious adjustment away from the issue.

 

I have written Benelli about this issue and suggested they consider a minor change in the trigger guard configuration.

I also sent Customer Service a note this am. We'll see if they comment. Did they ever respond??

Awwwe yes the old Benelli finger. I have the same problem with my SBEII and my Dad with his SBE. I bought a little thing from the drug store design to go on a toe (for hammer toe or something). I cut the end off and put it on the middle finger and it seems to cushion it nicely.

 

My whole hand was black and blue after a day of shooting Cans. on lake St. Clair in Canada last year. This has solved the problem.

No, I didn't ask for a response but I am no longer experiencing the problem either.
