Marlin Model 90--One of the 50 Worst Guns??

[BarkeyVA]

I was checking the archives on Dave Petzal's The Gun Nut web site and saw the following comment by ralph1971 that he posted on May 09, 2006.

"I nominate the Marlin Model 90 12 ga O/U near the top of the worst gun list. Nice gun, well made--- but after 50 shots at sporting clays, the inside of my middle finger, above the second knuckle, right where the finger contacts the trigger guard, was swelled to twice it's size and was tender for several days thereafter. I talked to an old-timer who said "that's why I sold my Model 90!"

I have been shooting a 12 ga. Model 90 for over 50 years and have never bruised my middle finger. Perhaps it is because I pull the trigger with the pad of my index finger instead of placing the trigger in the crease of the first joint. I have six Model 90's and think they are great shotguns. Anyone else experienced a bruised finger shooting their Model 90?
