Provides Extra Clearance When Wearing Gloves; Drop-In Installation
Enhanced triggerguard has a shallow “V” shape that provides extra clearance for a shooter wearing gloves, and eliminates the gap at the rear of the USGI triggerguard that can trap or pinch finger. Smooth, ergonomically contoured surface and rounded edges protect the trigger finger from abrasion and won’t snag on the operator’s glove to impede the speed of target engagement. Replaces factory guard in minutes and requires no permanent alterations to receiver; reinstall original guard any time. Manufactured from high-grade, reinforced polymer that’s lightweight, almost as strong as aluminum, and resistant to heat, cold and moisture. Fits mil-spec AR-15/M16 and clones, as well as many AR-style .308 models; installation instructions included.
SPECS: Reinforced molded polymer, Black, Dark Earth,or O.D. Green. Includes roll pin, set screw, installation instructions. Fits most AR-15/M16 and AR-style .308 rifles including ArmaLite AR-10, Knight SR-25, and DPMS LR-308. Due to variances in manufacturer specs, minor fitting may be required on some rifles.

MAG417 Trigger Guard Perfect Fit(06/11/2009)
I purchased the polymere trigger guard and it fits perfect. The quality is better than the Magpul aluminum trigger guard and looks fantastic. Thanks Magpul and Brownells more than satisfied!!!
Help with tactical exchanges(09/12/2009)
Other than providing another accessory, this was very useful during a week long rifle school. We performed repeated tactical exchanges which required us to support the rifle with the primary hand while the support hand exchanged magazines. This piece simply made it more comfortable. The trigger guard ears don't dig into the primary hand middle finger. Maybe I just need to toughen up, but I still like it.
No Reason Not To(11/03/2016)
The MOE trigger guard is cheap, light, installs as smoothly as any of them will, fills in the dreaded gap in front of the grip, and opens up the guard for gloved fingers. It's durable thanks to Magpul's famously tough polymer, and it looks pretty good to boot. There's really no reason not to add one of these to your next order and stick it on your rifle.
Great Product wonderful fit(28/01/2010)
Absolutely love this Trigger Guard fits great and looks awesome. Like all MagPul products it's great.
Best guard for the money(02/02/2010)
This is by far the best enhanced trigger guard for the money. I have 4 of the FDE and 3 Black MOE trigger guards. They install very easly, same as a standard trigger guard but the front uses an allen screw. I have them installed on the following lowers with no fitting issues = Bushmaster, DPMS, Stag, Spikes and Mega. Typical Magpul quality product for the money.
Gotta have it(15/03/2010)
I got this one for my Bushmaster and a black one for my dad's Stagarms. Installation was just slightly more difficult than "bolt-in" but not impossible. This "plastic" piece is quite substantial and well worth the price savings over the aluminum model. Definitely adds to the X-Factor too!
Solid(29/12/2010)
Easy to put on and takes care of the gap. Gives more room for gloved hands and feels stronger than the factory aluminum unit.
Love it(07/09/2009)
Does the same thing as the aluminum Magpul trigger guard for a lot less money.
Love this Product(14/11/2009)
I really love this trigger guard. It really made my rifle look better and easy to get a gloved finger into. I have got several compliments. It was easy to install.
Very Nice Product(19/01/2010)
The trigger guard fit well and is comfortable in use. The instructions are clear and the provided roll pin fits the lower very well. It is properly sized as opposed to the pin that comes with many parts kits.
Great little part(27/01/2010)
Initially bought this to replace stock piece, thinking it would be lighter in weight. Since I am shedding weight on the M4 and figure even little changes add up. What a great part to put on, very easy install and definitely makes the gun look better. For the cost, can't go wrong with this part

Solid product worth the money(18/03/2010)
Purchased 4 sets to put together some AR lower receivers. They appear strong and are considerably thicker than the ones supplied on lower parts kit. The curvature not only adds an appeal to the lower, but allows easy use of gloves. Also, it covers the little hole near the grip. I cannot see a need for the aluminum version that is twice its cost.[...] Great product option, Great price. Well worth it.
Decent upgrade item.(10/04/2010)
Installed a black one on my DSA ZM4 lower and a foliage green on my Spike's Tactical ST-15 lower without any issues. Can't beat the price and quality of this upgrade. Much nicer than the standard-issue trigger guard. Gloved fingers or large fingers should be no problem with this trigger guard. Another super item from Magpul.
Good product(10/05/2010)
Very nice and American made. The only thing I would change is the tiny set screw supplied. Others on different sites are using a set screw with a head on it and it looks much better.
Great Value!!(17/12/2010)
Have used numerous trigger guards that would allow me to use gloves and for the money this is excellent. Very easy installation and very good fit.
Outstanding Addition(21/01/2011)
Love this. The best thing is that it completely fills in the gap behind the guard. It always used to dig into my middle finger doing mag changes and this fixes the problem.
Stop thinking and buy it!(12/03/2011)
I have the old metal one on my lower since they didn't sell this one when I built mine. I now install this whenever I build a lower for somebody else. Can't beat the price, it actually makes an AR look good, and it gives plenty of trigger room while filling the infamous gap. Make sure you buy this prior to starting your build as taking the old trigger guard out can be a pain in the rear. (Not difficult, just annoying) Get this one at the start and install it first.
Great trigger guard!!(13/04/2011)
A great, inexpensive way to give your AR a tactical look and still serve a practical purpose. Almost a necessity in the frozen north where I reside where gloved fingers is a must during the cold season. Installs in seconds. Literally.
Nice Trigger Guard(20/05/2011)
[...] I installed the Magpul enhanced trigger guard on my Bushmaster XM15 M4 carbine. Install took less than 5 minutes and the fit and finish was perfect. Made from a very durable hard plastic that is going to stand up to a lot of hard use. Definitely opened up the trigger area for better access but very thick winter gloves will still be a tight fit. Enhanced the look of the weapon especially when combined with the Command Arms Accessories G27 pistol grip which I installed at the same time. For Bushmaster owners reuse your stock trigger guard pin because the one included in the kit is too large and will require a lot of force to drive in. For all users, it is easier to pre-form the internal threads on the magpul guard prior to installation by gradually turning the set screw in until it bottoms out.
Another GREAT accessory from Magpul!!!(24/05/2011)
Bought this as one of many upgrades to my Colt AR and could not fit any better! Gives the rifle a new and eye pleasing profile over the stock trigger guard! Well worth the cost and then some!
No complaints at all(12/06/2011)
Simply perfect
Not so good(30/07/2011)
MOE trigger guard looks really good but the tinny set screw stripped out and took a bit work to get it to screw in flush with the receiver. I will not recommend or use this trigger guard again.
perfect(25/08/2011)
fit and works perfect on my LE Colt carbine. That just says it all.
Excellent Product!!(27/04/2012)
Very easy to install, Asteticly pleasing, & Ergonomical.
Great Product for the Price(22/06/2012)
Used the product as an upgrade to my AR-15 triggerguard. Very easy to install, looks great. The rifle now has a very appealing look to it. I would recommend this product to anyone...my brother-in-law liked it so well he purchased one as well.
Fantastic looks and enhances operations.(26/06/2012)
I resisted this change to my RRA lower because it was plastic but I came across a review that made me rethink my position. First rethink came when I read that the plastic unit would not scratch and lose paint and color as the aluminum would. Second rethink came from heat retention. I shoot in Oklahoma heat from 100* - 105* and the plastic unit just does not get as hot as metal parts do. Installed, the guard is visually more pleasing and is fantastic to feel and touch. I cannot imagine the force required to break the installed guard and think more than just that piece would be included in damages. I installed a Timney trigger and run the Ergo ambi-grip and this trio is absolute perfection for me.
Great Addition(27/10/2012)
I purchased this as I use gloves often when shooting. I, like another poster gave a little thought about the Plastic vs. Aluminum and the plastic won. I would take care installing this as the ear on the lower can break off if not supported correctly. I looked over a few videos where others had this problem. Support the lower with a padded block of wood and tap the pin in with a small hammer. Take your time and it will work just fine.
Extra space for that gloved finger(08/12/2015)
Bought this for the extra space required when wearing all but the thinnest gloves. I installed on a Bushmaster rifle and you'll need a set of punches and a set of tiny hex keys to remove old and install new (Not provided). It is great fit, but then it is a Magpul.
Entirely pleased with this.(13/01/2016)
A purchase to upgrade parts for an AR-15 build, this trigger guard is tough, light, and easy to install with a little care. I used a press to install the roll pin and then a 1/16 hex key to install the setscrew, which had thread locker material already present in the threads. The color matches my Anderson lower receiver exactly, and the holes lined up perfectly as expected, making installation a snap. The overall look is very much enhanced using this trigger guard, and there is ample room for a gloved finger, a win-win situation. I like the fact that the material won't scratch like aluminum would, and the only down side is that there is no spring-loaded detent to open the guard for service, something that I don't forsee the need to ever do. This is a first-class upgrade to my lower receiver, and I would certainly use it again or recommend it to anyone doing an AR build.
