Forward Controls Design Ar-15 Enlarged Triggerguard Black

The Forward Controls Design AR-15 enlarged trigger guard in black is built for shooters who need reliable control in cold weather or heavy gloves. Machined from 7075 aluminum and finished with hard coat Type III anodized black, this billet trigger guard expands the trigger bow area forward—giving your finger more room whether you're wearing gloves or just need extra clearance. Unlike standard trigger guards, the TGF maintains consistent, unobstructed space from the front of the trigger bow all the way back to the receiver, so gloved fingers have room to work without binding.

Forward Controls Design engineered this guard specifically for TDP spec forged lower receivers, filling the gap between the trigger guard ears with a more robust design than typical swing-down guards. The front attachment uses a flush-mounted set screw that won't catch or protrude, while the rear relies on a traditional roll pin—a proven, no-nonsense method that won't work loose. All edges and corners are radiused smooth, so you won't snag gear or skin during handling or storage. Made in the USA from quality billet stock, it's the kind of part that earns its place on a rifle built to work in real conditions.

Installation requires a 1/16" Allen wrench (not included). The set screw and roll pin are included in the box, so you have everything needed except the wrench. This is a purpose-built upgrade for shooters running winter gloves, shooting in cold climates, or simply preferring a more spacious grip environment.
