Especially since all the examples I've seen have a tall enough trigger guard for gloves.
Harder to shoot when wearing mittens?
Color me stupid, but what is a "closed ear lower".
Do I need a $200 stamp for that?

No removable trigger guard and no trigger guard "ears" since it's all one solid piece.
Hinged trigger guards were all the rage back in the 1960’s. Embrace technology. Advancements in glove technology and lowers with machined trigger guards built in are an improvement over the original design.
I guessed that's what was being referenced, but i have never heard them called that.
So, technically, they don't even have ears.

Maybe you need to open your ears?Quote:

Use to call them 1 pc lower receiver. Guess i need to brush up on 21st century lingo.
Integrated trigger guard.

I'd never have known what to call it either.
Let’s call them J. Edgar Hoover. Or tater tots.
Anderson refers to them as closed ear which is where I picked it up.
And there you have it.
And now I have it logged for future reference.
I have a couple, of a different brand, and I like them.

I figured that a closed ear lower was just a gun that wouldn't be open to any of my suggestions.
Me - What do you want to do today?
Gun - Shoot
Me - Well there's that new restaurant over on...
Gun - SHOOT
I have an Aero M4E1 lower I haven't built out yet but it seems completely idiot proof with an integrated trigger guard AND a threaded bolt catch.
I've never had an issue with the trigger guard installation but I have had the bolt catch roll pin go south on me a few times.
