I'm getting one of these, partly to accommodate gloves, etc. -- and because they look cool -- but mostly to cover that annoying gap at the back end toward the pistol grip. Rubbing across the top of the middle figure while pivoting the gun during various movements (like switching shoulders) is distracting. I'd rather replace the entire trigger guard than stick one of those little rubber plugs into the gap.
I see some difference between the two trigger guards by Magpul. Here is their web-site photo of the aluminum "enhanced" model. I think these are both supposed to be the same item, but they look different to me, with the one to the rear providing a smoother and more flush fit over the gap. The raised edges on the one in front would probably dig into the finger nearly as bad as the gap does. Are there two versions of this item, or am I missing something?
And here is the plastic MOE trigger guard. The available FDE would look cool next to my FDE pistol grip and Pmags, but coverage of the gap looks even less effective. The end of the trigger guard plunges into the gap, leaving some of those diggie edges uncovered.
I'm just asking here for anybody owning either of Magpul's tirgger guards, and what experience you've had with them, specifically in covering the gap.
