Get the screw on one; the slip on ones don't stay put and are a waste of money. I'd get a "store bought" one if it were me; they look a lot better on a nice gun, and 15 bucks or so doesn't seem like big money, considering  . Mark's Born Again Bird Guns has a good price and good service.

May I respectfully suggest your stock is too short.

May I respectfully suggest your stock is too short. Stock length may be the usual culprit, but some guns with the same LOP hurt my middle finger and some don't. I think the trigger guard shape has a lot to do with it. For what it is worth I use the screw-on Galazon bumper on the offending guns and it works for me...Geo

I have never had a bruise from the trigger guard in my life. And I have rather small hands for a man. I dunno .
Is it one particular gun, Bobby?

The problem may be in the position of thumb hole (where the stock rises from the hand to the comb), rather than in the length of the stock.
If the thumb hole is set too far forward, your hand is going to sit too close to the triggerguard. Pull the trigger, get a bruise.
If the thumb hole is set further back, your hand will be set back from the guard. Pull the trigger, you won't get a bruise.
I'm not sure what the thumb-hole-position length is called, but I know it can make a big difference in how well the gun fits.
Of course, if you have meaty paws and stubby fingers, I'm not sure what you do...

Michael Yardley, I believe, once wrote that a pistol grip that was shaped smaller at the top than at the bottom would allow more slippage in the hand under recoil. Seems this could contribute to that problem. He said that the grip should stay the same diameter from top to bottom or get slightly larger at the top to prevent this slippage.
