Ethos: grip to trigger distance too long

[rhodesengr]

I recently bought bought an Ethos Sport and am working on getting it adjusted to me. One thing I notice is that if I grip the gun in a natural way, my finger barely reaches the trigger. I also own a Super Nova and I don't have that problem with that gun. The grip to trigger distance is shorter. This is not an LOP thing.

Is there a product designed to adjust this? I could pile up some moleskin on the grip but that won't look very good.

I just bought plan Ethos and have the same grip problem.  This is my dream gun and I am totally disappointed.  Did you figure out how to close the gap?

Building up the front of the grip like you mentioned would likely be the easiest but unsightly as you mentioned. Only thing I could think of that might work permanently would require shortening the FRONT of the buttstock then re-contouring it and refinishing. That seems like a lot to do. They don't look like they have any difference between it and the others, but I guess it often doesn't take much change in this area to really notice it.

1. Custom stock, 2. custom made trigger by custom gunsmith (trigger assembly and some metal work) or 3. a. Purchase new or used butt stock, b. use washable paint on trigger hand palm/thumb and grip in shooting stance, c. let dry, then sand out paint marks to desired on PALM/THUMB imprint d. check/sand/check/sand d. refinish with oil rub if wood, spray paint to match if composite. Perhaps 1&2.  I've DIY modifed three shotguns for a better/different fit for drop, cast, grip/hand position, and while my body continues to decline (sight, reflexes, balance, strength) my shooting is back to 25 years ago on both clay and wild birds.  I had to resolve in my mind that I was not in any "all original shotgun beauty contests" and that the gun was not a "rare orginal aireloom that will apprecizate in value by thousands $$$".  It's a tool; then I set to work to make it work for me versus trying to buy the perfect fitting "unaltered all original beauty queen".  My 2 cents, spend it how you like.
