So, I have a gorgeous little Beratta 84 Cheetah. Lovely gun, fun to shoot, EXCEPT - I have a bone spur on the inside of my thumb that gets whacked every time it fires. It has been getting worse each week (range time is Sunday morning) to the point where this morning I found myself limp-wristing the first few shots in expectation, and feeling like someone was bashing my thumb with a hammer every shot. Not comfy, or accurate.
Has anyone else had this problem? I have a few possible solutions:
1. Change out the gun for something with a thinner grip (my 22/45 doesn't bother it at all, but that MAY be just the recoil)
2. Wear a donut corn-protector on that thumb while shooting. Will also add a "Geek" badge to my hat...
3. Just stick to 22 for pistols.... Not a problem, I enjoy shooting, and am not fussed about the larger calibres, it's just such a cute gun.
Any thoughts or experiences gratefully received.
