 rw , Thank you for the reply .  The problem is when you have thick fingers or large hands with long fingers .  The knuckle of the middle finger rides under the trigger guard . when you fire the gun the trigger guard rubs hard on that knuckle . a good day at the range kind of punishes that knuckle . 

Since I started this thread I have found the solution to the problem , I installed the larger grip backstrap .  That moves the knuckle out from under the trigger guard , end of problem .

I don't have a Glock 29 but my friend Bill does and He reamed out the trigger guard next to the grip. He has larger fingers than me, but I also find it MUCH more comfortable than stock. I didn't ask him how he did it. If / when I get a Glock. It would be a 29 and I would do this. I am guessing a dremel tool with rotary cutter and then polish / grind with finer and finer grit wheel or sandpaper.

I've put the pearce extensions on my 29 as well and that alone got my finger off the trigger guard since they gave me a better grip.

 I put the Pierce Extensions on my mag's , but that was not enough . I had to add the large backstrap to the grip , and that did the trick . It filled my hand enough to move my fingers back to where my knuckle was no longer under the trigger guard .
