1377 thumb

[JJRunner]

Why does this feel like admission to some club or secret society?

I done got my 1399 stock today.  Put it on the 1377 and had to try it out.  The stock does make me hold it a bit differant when pumping.  Yep!  Zapped my left thumb pad in the pump handle!   

I used to smirk when I read things like "no more pinched fingers" on things like those descriptions of 760 handles touted as 1377 custom grips.

I've been combing the archives since I signed up, so as to not start yet another "what should I do next thread."

One blood-blister later, I now what my next mod is going to be.  I'm getting a 2289 (or a 1399, whichever I can get my hands on) pump handle!  I was debating over a few other things, but this bumped those.  Funny how priorities change.

Yep, that is a malady we have all experienced.  The one thing it really does is make you smart about doing mods.

The first 'pinch' is quite memorable

There are two ways to cope with it:

A) replace the fore arm with something bigger, accepting that it will no longer look like a pistol

B) be more careful of finger placement in the future

I like the slim pistol look and balance, so I'm just very careful of finger placement.
