I’ve heard the term “gee gaw”, but never “goo gaw”. But enough baby talk.

Now I have. Must be a regional thing. My region being “Mid-Atlantic Piedmont”.
Well, I’ve learned a new variant today. I’ve lived in Colorado, Wyoming, Montana, Virginia, Wisconsin, and Illinois, and I’ve never seen it spelled that way.
Still don’t see much use for the goo gaw, gee gaw, or whatever it is. . .
I think it’s for the “gun nut” who has everything. Christmas is coming.
It’s for that hard-to-please gun guy on your shopping list. Chances are, he’ll still be unpleased, though.
Meh… I’m trying to figure out what problem this solves, exactly. Maybe I’m missing something?
I just know that my laser-engraved Magpul trigger guard works just fine and looks damn classy.
I think it clearly solves the problem of an absence of it.
While I’m always open to improvement, I’m just a bit hesitant and suspicious to drop coin on a product to fix a problem I didn’t even know I had. Call me a cynic, I guess.
I’d call you “practical”.
AH really, it’s an AR not an AK. If you need this to help you load an AR magazine you have many more issues that need attention that this silly thing can’t fix.
Not necessarily a problem but, to try and make your reload FASTER kind of an improvement item. But I agree with above, if your reloads are that much of an issue, the trigger guard is kind of like a gnat on the side of an aircraft carrier.
Another in a loooooooooong list of AR widgets and doohickeys that I cannot believe we ever did without.
Features:
Plastic reinforced plastic!
Guides you in!!
Touch it with your finger?!
Did we mention it guides you in? We did? Crap, uh…
The finger… damnit let’s see
No substance to it whatsoever! !!
That could be a contraceptive commercial.
Why?
Seems like a waste of money.
When I used an AR-15 in service competition, we had a match at 200 metres from the sitting position called “The Rapid Deployment Match”. We would shoot 5 single-snaps at a Figure 11 target, put the gun down, run back 5 metres to pick up another magazine, run back to the firing point, and reload for the next set of 5 target exposures. And this was done in 15 seconds. I never had a problem with reloading the AR-15 in those circumstances.
What I want to know is….does the “fang” sticking out make it incompatible with Magpul M3 Pmags due to the overinsertion stop?
not compatible.
Ouch.
Do they make a left-handed version?
Does it render the firearm invisible to x-ray or porn-o-scan?
At least they made it be able to accept a gloved finger tip
What the company failed to mention is that this is a “braille” trigger guard…you know….for all those blind AR-15 owners that Piers Morgan was whining about.
Solution looking for a problem.
Yet another useless gizmo put out by the gun industry. This solves absolutely nothing and it’s a waste of money.
