Re: Poll : Right Barrel or Left Barrel First

Quote:
My mother and father blessed me with small hands for my six foot three, three hundred pound chassis. My shoulder can take all the recoil you can give it but I dread shooting the right barrel. On range days I have to wrap my second finger and it still has a calcium buildup. If you have small hands, a big recoil and shoot alot you'll switch to left barrel first.
I too have small hands and my middle finger often gets hit by the trigger guard when I fire the RH barrel. I was down the range today with my double and tried a glove with the trigger finger part cut off. I though the glove would protect my middle finger (and the glove looks better than what a a bandaid would). I use a glove on the left hand anyway to protect against the hot barrel, so I may as well wear the 2nd half of the pair I bought. I thought is was working since I felt no pain, but after 5 shots per barrel, I took the glove off and my middle finger was swollen! It looked like a bee sting without the redness but it didn't hurt at all (I also checked to make sure it wasn't broken - I broke a little toe once and there was no pain then either, anyway that's another story).
It's gone down now and is a little tender with a small hard lump on the bone - is this the "calcium" you talk about?
I'll still continue to shoot RH barrel first. I thought the logic was that it is quicker to move to the rear trigger after the first shot, but can't see why really.
