I own & love XDs--reliable, well-made, fits the hand perfectly, accurate, etc. However, has anyone else had the problem of what I've come to name as "XD Trigger Blisters?" That is, when you shoot the XD for an extended period (as in qualifying, training), your trigger finger gets sore and/or blistered from the way the 2-part trigger rubs the finger. I've experienced this myself--along with other officers that I've trained with--to the point that it gets painful to shoot after a while, which seriously puts the "screws" to your accuracy/scores.
At least in my case, repeatedly pulling the trigger rubs the hell out of the lower part of my finger where the finger first touches the trigger safety then has to be pulled a bit harder to be flush with the trigger itself and then pulled just a bit more to set the trigger. I've rubbed an actual raw (painful) blister on my finger and had to tape/wrap it to finish shooting after working on the range a few hours. I've even had to switch weapons to finish the course (in my case, I went to my P99, which has a wider more rounded trigger that wraps around the finger more comfortably).
Anyone else have this problem?
