I would say mine is about 65% forward, and when I think about it, it is the bottom of the trigger that seems to hurt my finger. After it is fired, the trigger moves forward and up, to where the bottom of the trigger is about 1/2" up from the bottom of the trigger guard. Maybe I just need to change how I pull the trigger, but that may mess with my mind. Bottom line is that there is enough room for my finger if I would pull it upward after pulling the trigger. However, I don't want to be thinking about it.
