Problem is if there's not much room between the triggers for your fingers, gloves won't help. It'll be harder to place your finger properly between the triggers with the extra material. Let me ask, are you placing the first pad of your trigger finger on the trigger or the first knuckle joint? If it's the joint, that's the problem. The pad should be on the trigger, not the joint. As for the beating your middle finger takes from the trigger guard, a glove should help with that. I do use the Gun Glove, but the thin Mechanix work gloves really work well. Hope this helps.

I realized that I need longer LOP to keep my hand back and just the pad of my finger on the trigger. It takes conscious effort with a pistol grip to keep long finger from sliding through and having the knuckle on the trigger. It's easier with straight stock to keep my hand back.
A lot of subtle adjustments to learn.
