The Knight’s Armament combat trigger guard assembly is an enlarged AR-15 trigger guard built for shooters who run gloves or have large hands (Knight’s Armament part no. 20491-1). It gives the trigger finger more room than the standard guard that ships on most lowers, which matters most in cold weather or when wearing duty and shooting gloves. KAC designed it to fit most mil-spec AR-15 lower receivers, and it is a simple swap for a rifle that already runs a standard guard. It is a practical upgrade for a carbine used in training classes, in winter, or anywhere gloves stay on.

Key Specifications

• The design is an enlarged trigger guard opening, which leaves room for a gloved trigger finger or a larger hand.
• Fit is most mil-spec AR-15 lower receivers, so it suits the common lowers built to standard dimensions.
• Knight’s Armament notes it may require slight fitting in some instances, so plan for a little hand work on a tight lower.
• Material is aluminum, which keeps the weight down on a part that sits at the front of the fire control group.
• The finish is black, matching the standard look of an AR-15 lower.
