Some people have problems with the Surefire pump action shotgun forend smashing their support hand index finger. I have experienced this myself.
I suspect persons with longer arms encounter this more than users with shorter arms. I'm not impressed with the suggested solution of "grip the forend further back".
I had an idea about a possible solution.
Use a piece of 4x4" 0.5" thk
Durometer 50 OO Sorbothane w/self-adhesive backing.
McMaster-Carr #8794K112 $9.82 ea

(60 to 90 OO is used for shooting shoulder pads.)
50 is more easily deformed than 90 OO.
Cut out to fit the triangular rear-facing surface
Of the forend, and stick on using the integral adhesive.
Will provide a recoil cushion for the off-hand index finger
When cradling and operating the forend from the underside.
Thoughts?
