Default BodyGuard 380 Pinches Trigger Finger

OK, i have to believe that i'm doing something wrong and i'm looking for some advice. When i shoot my BG380 the trigger pinches my finger, what the heck am i doing wrong, i don't have this problem with any of my other guns, although they are way heavier than the BG380.

Did any of you guys have this problem? and how did you solve it?

The hinged factory trigger does that to some. I don't have a Bodyguard but replaced the hinged triggers with Apex ones on all the M&Ps I have.
The hinged factory triggers have pinched me on occasion, even if they don't pinch often, I just don't like the feel of them.

Where is it pinching? From my experience, the trigger pull is so long that I ended up with an uncomfortable grip at the end of the pull.

I replaced my trigger with a Galloway Santiago trigger. This trigger is magnitudes better.

The image below was taken before in installed the over-travel stop screw:

my finger gets pinched right between the trigger guard and trigger itself.

question, did you install the new trigger yourself or have a gunsmith do it?

I installed it myself. I'm no pro, but the videos on how to install it are pretty good.

I have the same issue w/my LCP and use a piece of masking tape on my trigger finger at the range. Solved the problem.
