Removing the trigger guard is a good idea. You can also make your own grips, making them thicker. I have a couple of Uberti 1858's that are known for busting knuckles. Since Pietta eliminated the problem with thicker grips, I figured I would make my own to fit my hand. Have a set of mahogany blanks I have almost completed that I bought off of ebay for $7. Since mahogany is a softer wood, I am using them for practice before finishing some walnut blanks a friend sent me. Also in the process of making a set of elk antler grips from blanks that another friend sent me. All three will be thick enough to eliminate my problem.
