    Default Enhanced Trigger Guards for AR15

    Guys,

    I am looking to buy an enhanced trigger guard for my AR15. I have looked a few from various vendors, and I have two that I really like.

    Six Sigma Arms Enhanced Trigger Guard:
    http://www.sixsigmaarms.com/products.php?d=2

    and the Magpul Enhanced Trigger Guard:
    http://store.magpul.com/product/MAG015/55

    I am open to other manufacturers, and would appreciate any links to other brands, etc.

    Opinions of either one I listed, either the magpul or Six Star one would also be welcomed.

    I have the Magpul on my Stag M4. I like it.. I can get a finger in with a thin glove on, which is nice in the winter months.

    The Wilson Combat is very nice too. http://www.rainierarms.com/?page=sho...roduct_id=1883

    I have one on my Magpul Free SBR. Has the GI trigger guard been giving you issues?

    I have an aluminum Magpul on mine. I'm not sure they're better than the polymer ones, but that's what I got.

    My wife has boney fingers and the gap between the receiver and standard trigger guard really bothered her. I was debating between the plastic and metal Magpul and ended up getting both (since we have more than 1 AR). It made a HUGE difference for her. Both work great, but the metal/aluminum feels nicer. You can't go wrong with dropping $16 on a Magpul.

    Nope.. no issues, I like the idea of a larger trigger guard, but ultimately its just a cosmetic thing.. I like the way it looks... Functionality is obviously the main thing I should be concerned with, but if it looks cool too, so much the better.

    I have the Magpul aluminum one on my AR.

    Not much to say really, it works fine and gets rid of the annoying gap.

    Pick the one that looks best to you and it should be fine.

    I am pretty much in agreement on that point. I was hoping that by asking for opinions on them that I might get some links to ones that I haven't seen yet..

    Obviously there is not gonna be much variance in them, other than the drop or oval shape, but I did see two oddball looking ones like the Phase 5 one that looks like it belongs on Batman's AR... or the Strike Industries one that has a wide base on either side or both..
