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.

Nice lines, great product

I don't know how much more room it provides, but it gives a little more room and looks great installed. Fairly easy to install and the aluminum doesn't add any felt weight and I'm not crazy about too much plastic. Great product.

Exactly What I Was Looking For

I bought the enhanced trigger guard in order to prevent the occasional trigger pinch to my finger that occurs with a standard trigger guard. After going to the range, I am very pleased with this upgrade. As others have noted, the roll pin is not that easy to install. I had to work at it for a while and the whole time I was holding my breath that I didn't damage the lower receiver mounts (next time I will use an AR bench block rather than a makeshift block). Thankfully, I got it installed and have no plans to remove it.

Triggerguard

Adds just enough room for gloves and it covers up that gap between the pistol grip and the trigger guard. It was kind of a pain to install though.

Goes along nice with MAGPUL Grip

This works wonderful with the MAGPUL grip. No more buying gapper for standard trigger guard.
