I want to do some trimming under the trigger guard of my G23, and duty G22. With my grip, about 50rds in, I get a blister on my middle finger. You do any to yours blake, and do you have that issue?

BTW, I thought the triangle checkering on the RFT was pretty aggressive from the factory, lol!! Only thing Glock needs to change is including the extended slide lock with all Glocks,fully support the chamber in the .40s and change the rifling so that lead can be shot. Of course, all that can be changed aftermarket for next to nothing anyway, lol.
I did a little trimming under the G22 trigger guard but it was only to be able to get my hand a little higher in relation to the bore. I get sore thumbs from loading and sore index finger from pulling the trigger. I can't recall ever having any middle finger issues. The RTF2 was rough as first but my hands got used to it and I went with sandpaper grips and after a while, that wasn't enough so I did some texturing. I'll get some pics of the current set up later tonight.

A semi auto pistol can't have a fully supported chamber because the extractor needs to be able to grab the case rim. Most factory barrels are very similar to the glock. Aftermarket barrels do provide more support as you noted. I had an extended slide lock/release lever on mine but whenever I tried to put the gun in the holster with the slide locked back, it would release. I went back to the regular one. I am in the habit of using the whole slide to chamber a round. I used to do the thumb thing with the lever but that isn't a gross motor skill and under stress, I might miss the lever where as I will have less of a chance to miss gripping the whole slide to pull it back. It does stink the glock's polygonal rifling precludes shooting lead but I have done so in limited quantities with no issues. All mine shoot the copper plated stuff with no issues which isn't much more expensive than lead. I just make sure to clean well and periodically check for obstructions.

If you aren't afraid, just take a dremel and a sanding drum and slowing smooth out the area causing you blisters. If that doesn't work, maybe grip a little tighter or looser in that area because blisters are caused by friction.
