The Krieghoff Model 32 method of installing a trigger guard is not entirely ugly if the exposed screw head is dressed to the inside surface of the front curve and nicely engraved. The engraving of the almost invisible screw head would be a custom touch that impresses us. Krieghoff does not weld a threaded stud but uses a screw through a hole in the front curve. If "we" were to cut the stud off any nicely shaped trigger guard, smooth off the area, and drill a hole in the preferred location, we could avoid all the welding and worry about the position and thread size and pitch of the stud. Just an idea.
