ENHANCED TRIGGER GUARD FOR AR-15/M16 Reviews & Ratings

Aluminum triggerguard replaces factory guard and gives full access to the trigger, even when you’re wearing gloves. Ends the complication of having to drop the triggerguard in cold weather environments in order to get to the trigger. Trigger guard gives you an oversized opening and is held in place with standard roll pins and set screws. Eliminates need for gap plug and works with most grips.

SPECS: Aluminum, matte black. Fits AR-15/M16 rifles. Includes roll pin and set screw.

Bad roll pin in kit

The part itself is fine. But the roll pin in my kit was oversized just a bit too much. Despite using a proper support and punches, broke the trigger guard ear. Lower is canned. Just be wary of it.

Does not fully cover the gap on my Colt

I bought this trigger guard for one reason only: to fill the gap that exists with the standard trigger guard. I did not buy it because I needed extra space in the trigger guard. I chose not to buy a simple rubber plug to fill this gap but to go for this, what I though to be, very hight quality product. Well, it is nicely made and so, but it just does not completely prevent the edges from the trigger guard base to protrude and still hurt my finger. It is better than the standard trigger guard, but if it had had a milimeter of extra thickness it would have worked well. Now it has not solved my problem on my Colt AR-15 Sporter A2 HB. I'm really disappointed.

Needs fitting on DPMS

It is not drop in on my DPMS

Poor Fittment, cheap qaulity.

This Enhanced Triggergaurd did not fit my Bushmaster M4 A3 well with misalignment at the set screw end . The finish color is off and there are no manufacturing markings like the picture shows,so it looks genaric.....
