is there a better fitting trigger guard than a magpul?

greyling22 · Sep 12, 2021

I know this may make me sound like a weenie, but the magpul trigger guard doens't fit very well. see the place in the yellow oval on this picture? that rubs on my finger when I am carrying my suppressed rifle all over creation after pigs. Is there a different trigger guard that fills that area more effectivly? I've thought about just squirting hot glue up there too.......

Yes, but I can't remember off the top of my head, I'll have to look when I get a chance and hope I can remember who made it.

I'm having the same exact issue. I just ordered the Magpul MIAD enhanced aluminum guard from Midway on the advice of a buddy to fix it. We'll see how that goes.

I cross posted this on ar15.com, https://www.ar15.com/forums/ar-15/is-there-a-better-fitting-trigger-guard-than-a-magpul-/4-766905/

and Daniel defense grip with the little nubbin that covers the bad spot was recommended. Also, the bcm guard looks like it fills the void well.

Unmarked aluminum guard, but it's on my old Rock River Arms 9MM AR

I run B. King's gen 2 on everything now. Never drive a pin again & risk breaking an ear

That looks exactly like the Magpul aluminum guard I just got. Didn't really solve the problem, but I ended up filing and rounding the rough edges on that area of the lower. We'll see how it goes next class.

Forward Control Designs has a trigger guard that fits better than any other I've tried.

Go to this link and check out the photos of how it fits on various lowers-

The Seekins Precision Billet Trigger guard, the design allows for use with winter gloves and fills the gap between the standard trigger guard and front of the grip. Palmetto State Armory has them in stock for about 19 bucks.

If it’s sharp, I’d probably dress the edge to add a radius and then hit it with some alumablack. The hot glue thing could work fine too. I guess I sling my rifle when carrying, so I don’t really bear weight or contact right there, I’m usually pushing down on the pistol grip to keep the sling tight, not lifting up on that particular area.

I looked for the little filler block I have on mine, that I 3D printed but could only find this one.

The one I have makes stock trigger guards Ok for me.

With the thermal and can even my SBR’s get old lugging them around for an hour or more. A good sling will be your best friend, I promise.

I’ve had good luck with Phase 5 but also find slinging up the more typical option.

is there a better fitting trigger guard than a magpul?
