I never had any pinching problems, but the curved trigger did cause some pain in my finger after some longer range sessions.

I swapped to the flat trigger and it was much more comfortable for me. I even changed to the flat trigger on my P320.

You might give one a try.

 

Thanks. I'm considering Graygun's flat trigger. Since Sig sells them on their site, I think there won't be any compatibility issues.

 

I have the P365 X-MACRO TACOPS that came with the straight trigger. It gave me a big blood blister when I shot it. I swapped out the factory straight trigger for the standard factory curved trigger. Still pinched pretty hard but didn't give me a blood blister. I installed an Armory Craft adjustable curved trigger and it works pretty good. Been thinking about trying the M-CARBO straight trigger but there have been fitment issues with those. I'm giving the Armory Craft curved trigger more time before I try something else.

 

Man… That’s unfortunate to know that you’ve had so many issues with the trigger. I’m already trying to sell mine. My P365 is in mint condition— can’t get more than $300 for it at a gun store. That’s unacceptable, obviously.

 

I get the same thing. I only borrowed friends guns but it didn't matter what trigger was in it, it pinched. So I didn't buy a p365.

Only other gun I can't shoot due to pinching is the Colt MKIII line of revolvers. Which is a pity because I really like them

 

I will never buy another gun again before shooting it - with one brand being an exception. We all know what that is, haha

 

We don’t have that issue with any of our 365’s but we do with the 938/238.

 

I have this same issue when I shoot my sons Glock 19. only pistol I have the issue with.

 

I was at the gun store this morning. I held a G19 and dry fired it. No idea how it’s pinching you, unless there’s an aftermarket trigger? I actually checked the trigger on the 19 this morning because of your comment, haha. I had to see for myself as that is on my list of guns to buy. Good thing it doesn’t pinch me.

 

Are these issues of hold control and trigger control?

With the very small grip of the P365, you may have to rotate your hand around the grip to get your trigger finger into correct position without pushing the finger too close to the trigger and trigger guard. Then ensure that you are pulling straight back with the middle of the last pad of your index finger.

I'm trying to visualize how the pads of the index trigger finger get wedged between the end of the trigger and the inside of the trigger guard... A correct handhold position should have the index finger well clear of the side of the trigger guard.

I was also going to suggest looking into finger position on the trigger…

 

Maybe the skinny grip is allowing your finger to wrap too far around the grip. You could increase the diameter of the grip by installing a Hogue HandAll grip and that might help, or getting Wilson grip frame, they are a little larger. It took me a little time with the Hogue before it felt comfortable in my hand because the sculpted finger groove pushed my knuckle up to the trigger guard. It felt awkward. I got used to it by practicing picking up the gun and getting a firing grip on it, laying it down and picking it up again, over and over, maybe 20 times a day for a while. Feels fine now.

 

I went to the gun store this morning to attempt a trade, but to no avail.
While there, I was told nobody wants the original P365s. The main reason being is "the grip is too small." I did not know this! I thought all the P365s had the same grip (at least around the top). I have medium to large hands, and I think the P365's grip is the best of all my guns! The bummer of course being the pinching problem. Anyway, the purpose of this gun is deep concealment. Perhaps a Hogue grip wont' cause extra printing. Eh, they're only $15 to find out, so why not? Thanks for the suggestion! I'll go back to that gun store tomorrow and pick one up.

Oh, I have looked at the Wilson grip modules... Nice! I'll see what the Hogue will do first.

 

The trigger finger position on the trigger can also be adjusted by rotating the hand around a grip that is too small.

 

I had that issue when I first bought my P229. (It had trigger work done by a gunsmith before I bought it but I don't remember exactly what the original owner said was done.) But the real problem in my case was my bad habit of pushing my finger too far into the trigger guard. Thanks to the instant negative feedback, I made adjustments, and my accuracy has improved as a result.

Hahahaha! Hilarious, as I am realizing this just might be a "me issue".

 

My issue with trigger pinching was not related to side to side. Mine is my finger riding low on the trigger but only with a glock. My pinch point wasnt side to side but at the bottom of the trigger. I know its my grip/finger position.

 

I had the "trigger bite" issue with my first SIG 320 (with original curved trigger). It really started to hurt after a mag or two. I changed to an APEX flat trigger the problem went away. I have four different 320 models now and the first thing I did was change the triggers. Either with another APEX or a SIG flat trigger.

I've never had this issue with any 1911 or revolver ... just the 320. I do have big hands and long fingers but coming from a history of Bullseye shooting, where trigger control is must, I always use the end pad of my trigger finger for the utmost in feel and control. I know too that everyone is different ... we all do things our own way.

 

I never had any issues with my P320C. I had the first gen, back in 2014/15 I think. So of course my trigger was curved too. I'm hoping replacing the trigger will solve the issue.

 

I use a glove. Helps the pinch.
