Double sxs Black and Blue

[TKO]

I have a double barrel with the double triggers that is causing my ring finger on my trigger hand to turn black and blue. When I reach for the front trigger my ring finger is against the trigger guard and takes a beating during recoil.

What do you think? is this a design issue or a fitting issue? It has no recoil pad and I have thought about adding one to see if it helps. The problem is most noticable when using heavy loads. When using the lighter loads earlier in the season I did not notice it, I picked up some hotter shell's and it has cause my finger to turn purple from first knuckle to the third. The easy choice is to not shoot heavy loads, opinions?
