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! :-X
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. :)

there treatment for it to mod or buy more crosman pistols.
get the 2289 pumparm i havent pinched any fingers in a long time since i added one to mine
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.
