I've shot a few rifle courses. and after eight hours with even the lightest AR i get a blister from under the trigger Guard.

Are Gappers any good?

Seem to be great, I bought one, shot all day long--no blisters, went home and ordered one for each of my ARs.

i know....   whaaaaa!  

it doesn't normally bother me. but after eight hours of drills.. ouch.

i don't normally buy any accessories for my AR's, but pain is a good motivator.

Yeah, I've seen them in the Bushmaster catalog... the foam earplug is a good idea... I personally have been using a piece of black foam weatherstrip/caulk cord picked up at a construction site (look closely at my pic on this thread:)

It does make a difference. I might even get a few of those Gappers for a neater appearance.

FITTER out (edited to repair link!)

I'm not familiar with this "gapper" thing. What is it and what is it supposed to do?

it snaps into the space behind your trigger guard where your middle finger rubs.  its not a big deal unless you are holding your rifle in a low ready or on target position for extended periods of time.
