Trigger guard on firearm

Abstract

A firearm includes a receiver further including a trigger and a trigger guard. The trigger guard comprises a first end and a second end. The first end is configured to mount to a first arm and a second arm of the receiver and is further configured so that a portion of the trigger guard extends below the first and second arm. The second end is configured to mount to a third and forth arm of the receiver. The first end and the second end extend at angles so as to provide additional room for the user's finger in the enclosure surrounding the trigger.

1 . A receiver for a firearm including a trigger, a grip, and a magazine well, the receiver comprising 
 a first arm and a second arm positioned between the grip and the trigger;    a third arm and a fourth arm positioned between the trigger and the magazine well; and    a trigger guard having a first end and a second end, the first end connecting to the first arm and the second arm, and the second end connecting to the third and fourth arms, and wherein a portion of the first end extends below the first arm and the second arm.    
   
   
       2 . The receiver of  claim 1 , wherein the trigger guard further comprises a middle portion, the middle portion providing a transition between the first end and the second end.  
   
   
       3 . The firearm of  claim 2 , wherein the first end of the trigger guard extends at a angle approximately tangential to an inside edge of the first and second arm and the second end extends at an angle approximately tangential to an inside edge of the third and fourth arms.  
   
   
       4 . The firearm of  claim 2 , wherein the middle portion provides a flat transition between the first end and the second end of the trigger guard.  
   
   
       5 . A method of protecting a finger of a user while operating a firearm, comprising: 
 providing a trigger guard, the trigger guard comprising: 
 a first end, the first end configured to mount to a first and second arm of a receiver, wherein a portion of the first end extends below the first arm and the second arm;  
 a second end, the second configured to mount to a third and a fourth arm of the receiver;  
   installing the trigger guard on the receiver, wherein the extension of the first end of the trigger guard below the first arm and the second arm in operation prevents the user from rubbing the user's finger on the first and second arm.    
   
   
       6 . A trigger guard for use on a firearm having a first arm, a second arm and third arm and a fourth arm, the trigger guard comprising: 
 a first end, the first end configured to mount via a retaining pin to the first and second arms, the first end further configured to extend below the first and second arms;    a second end, the second end configured to mount to the third and fourth arms; and    a middle portion, the middle portion configured to provide a transition between the first end and the second end.    
   
   
       7 . The trigger guard of  claim 6 , wherein the middle portion of the trigger guard includes a horizontal portion.  
   
   
       8 . The trigger guard of  claim 6 , wherein the trigger guard is nonlinear.  
   
   
       9 . The trigger guard of  claim 6 , wherein the first end has a top edge and the middle portion has a bottom edge, the top edge of the first end being at least 0.3 inches above the bottom edge of the middle portion.  
   
   
       10 . The trigger guard of  claim 9 , wherein the top edge of the first end is at least 0.6 inches above the bottom edge of the middle portion.  
   
   
       11 . A trigger guard for use on a firearm having a first arm, a second arm and third arm and a fourth arm, the trigger guard comprising: 
 a first end, the first end configured to mount to the first and second arms, the first end further configured to extend from the first and second arm at an angle approximately tangential to the profile of the first and second arm;    a second end, the second end configured to mount to the third and fourth arms, the second end further configured to extend from the third and fourth arm at an angle approximately tangential to the profile of the third and fourth arms; and    a middle portion, the middle portion configured to provide a transition between the first end and the second end.    
   
   
       12 . The trigger guard of  claim 11 , wherein the first end comprises a top edge and a bottom edge, the top edge being at least 0.3 inches from bottom edge.  
   
   
       13 . The trigger guard of  claim 12 , wherein the middle portion has a top edge and a bottom edge, the top edge of the middle portion being at least 0.09 inches from the bottom edge of the middle portion.  
   
   
       14 . The trigger guard of  claim 13 , wherein the distance between the top edge of the first end is at least 0.5 inches from the bottom edge of the middle portion.
