new lcpII pinches fingers

[5of7]

my wife has arthritis in her hands and as a result, she cannot pull the trigger on a DA pistol. I bought an LCPII for her so that she can be armed with something she can shoot.

Today, I got the gun out of the box and after checking that it was unloaded, asked her to try the trigger. She pulled the trigger, smiled ans said "oh, that's great." Then she released the trigger and said "ouch." The problem is that the slot in the bottom of the frame for the trigger allows the skin to get pinched between the frame and the trigger when it is released. Bad news.

Has anyone else had this problem?

My wife had exactly the same experience. After several attempts of trying to make it happen to me, it finally happened. Looking at the trigger slot in the frame I found a sharp bur at the front edge of the opening. I filed it smooth and softened the edge. No longer seems to happen.

Thanks for both of your tips; this one and the one about pinched fingers.
