I once owned a FOX AE 20ga that would smite my middle finger so bad I could not shoot it again for a week. That gun must have had something wrong with it because the barrels would ring loudly every shot and would try to spring itself from my grip on the forearm.
Traded it off long ago, along with an LC Smith Specialty grade 20ga, for a DelGrego restored BHE 32" 12ga. Looking back I've often wondered if the Fox had 2 1/2" or shorter chambers and all I ever shot from it were 2 3/4" shells. Hind sight.... |

Hold your hand further back from the trigger guard bow and extend your forefinger .

Maybe the stock is to short allowing the gun to move back and hit your hand hard??? Or you are shooting 3" mag turkey load...SXS Ohio

It is how you are holding the gun. Work on trying to correct it.

I'm with Dave. Never been an issue for me, in 60 years of shooting double triggers, up to and including heavy loads in a couple of my Foxes. And, to further complicate the issue, I have relatively short fingers and small hands for a man.
I tend to believe it's a grip issue, as Bruce said. IMO, if your trigger pulls are good, and if they aren't you need to see that they are made good, you should never need to contact the trigger with your finger as far as the first knuckle crease. SRH PS. I've seen that pic before, Dave, but never noticed that the gun you're holding is the restocked Ranger. Nice looking job by Uncle Art. |

Is the other gun in the photo a Remington?
