Default Non Parker cold weather trigger guard

A close friend who hunts pheasants in late season asked if I knew of an over sized trigger guard for his Browning Citori. With insulated gloves, it seemed like a very good idea. Has anyone heard of this product or someone who could make them?
Thank you in advance,

Not off the top of my head. Is t a single trigger? I would think him to have plenty of room if it is.
Might be best to get a pair of those gloves that have the good back mitten ends. The fingers undernieth are normally of thinner material. I just got a pair and they are very warm.

Thanks Brian,
Yes his gun is a single trigger, I believe.
His concern is after carrying a gun for hours a very thick warm pair is needed.
When I hunt with him late, I keep my trigger hand in a warm pocket. Even then, I manage to botch enough opportunities to make me need a change. I've tried thick gloves, but my hands are often too cold to operate when needed.
I suspect some of this is my fault for getting too cold too many times......great stories for the nursing home, but not too wise looking back now.
I wonder, what ARE the best warm gloves for the field?
Thank you again.

the only large glove designed trigger guard I have ever seen was on the old northwest trade guns- flintlocks the Hudson Bay Co. (and others ) used to trade with the cold weather region natives. Still available for making modern repros



might look a little out of place on a Parker
