Does anyone here like the new trigger guard which is coming out on their new guns. I like the original style flat front
trigger guard. To me the new guard looks like a beer belly and ugly.
I assume you are referring to my pics of the P99DA taken from the
Deutschen Waffen-Journal on their IWA report.
There's no certainty that Walther is actually going to switch to that trigger guard/accessory rail configuration. In fact, I've been told that the P99DA was strictly for a police contract submission to compete against the H&K P2000 (the P99DA lost
).
We'll have to wait and see, but don't take it for gospel that Walther is switching to that frame.
Since I don't use the index finger of my support hand on the front of the trigger guard, I would be pleased to see Walther, Glock and others start rounding or at least tapering them. I see nothing wrong with the current SW99 rounded trigger guard or the HK USP tapered trigger guard.
Someone should take a poll here and see how many of us consistently use the off-hand index finger on the front of the trigger guard for support/stability.
While I don't use the squared off trigger guard for shooting, I do prefer the looks of the squared as opposed to the rounded.
The squared just looks more business like, compare a Sig P225 to a P228, the P225 just looks meaner IMO.
I don't use the front of the trigger guard at all while shooting. I DO prefer the looks of the squared off guard, but I wouldn't be too devastated if they changed it.
