I took a new Glock to the range today and put it through its paces.
Unfortunately, I neglected to sand down the underside of the trigger guard, and I wound up with a case of “Glock Knuckle’ from squeezing the life out of the gun while doing drills from the holster. It was particularly hot and humid today down by the Everglades and hands were soaked with sweat. I don’t know if this contributed to the “Glock Knuckle,” but I don’t intend to find out. All of my future Glocks will get sanded down in the future. I used to think it was the faint ridge from the molding process, but now I think that the “Glock” knuckle comes from the texture of the gun itself.
Does anyone else have this issue when shooting Glocks or is it just me? I may fall into the intermediate category of someone who shoots enough rounds to chafe away skin, but not enough to develop a permanent callous on the side of their finger.
And can anyone explain why anyone stipples the underside of the trigger guard? It seems like a pain in the finger searching for a solution if you ask me.
I have attached pics of “Glock Knuckle,” and two Glocks – one sanded, and one about to be sanded.
