Why not create a poll?
Personally I like the aluminum Magpul. Feels sturdy and comfortable, provides good clearance for gloved hands and fills the gap between the grip and guard. But no matter what you decide, do not use a punch to remove the roll pin. There is always the possibility of breaking the trigger guard ears. Use a roll pin pusher or your only option could be the stark grip of shame. |

There's also Damage Industries Enhanced Trigger Guard; it makes use a detent as well.

I don't think it matters all that much but the fact is you need one. If you have gloves on the stock guard stinks, I know I carried an M16 in Germany for a year+ whatever while stationed there. One thing I hated about the rifle was the trigger guard. I think if I remember the thing to do was pop out one side and let it hang for artic weather, those gloves were huge. Even those horrible cheap black glove covers caused issues if you have fat fingers. Funny thing the green wool gloves kept you warm, as soon as you put on the black leather covers your hand got colder. But wear only the green part and some officer will jack you up, I had that happen, I want to spit in his face and tell him to stand guard duty while your hands froze for 4 hours.
Anyway from experience it doesn't matter, it doesn't get a lot of use. I would say whatever feels better to your hand. Some people are sensitive to touch and the texture of something can be annoying. Like the difference between a new GF and your ex-wife, to touch one is repulsive and other exciting.

I guess I'm kinda confused as to what that ledge is going to do for you... |

I ended up going with a Spike's billet trigger guard on my latest build. I'm digging the aggressiveness of it. The Magpul aluminum always feels a little sloppy to me, though I like their polymer guards.
I almost ordered the Strike Industries one, but I'd like to see it in person first. |

Quoted:
Never seen that, cool! After using these roll pin less trigger guards I'm done with trigger guards that use roll pins. All detents is how it should have always been. |
