I've never experienced a problem doing trigger jobs, the only problem I recollect is someone breaking one when it was real cold.  :-\

Problem is not to trust or not as for the most part you have no choice unless you can find some old parts. Just enjoy as is and if it breaks you can always get a replacement from the factory. Kurt

I've been carrying mine with the stock trigger guard since 1996.  Have abused the heck out of the gun.  No problem with the trigger guard, has not broken yet, got a few dings, but still hanging in there.  They have been out in real cold weather too.  35 and 40 below, no problems.

H&R and NEF have been using plastic since at least the 1980's for trigger guards..  And none of my original Pardners(sold to friends) from that era have had any problems with the trigger guards.

I bought a used Pardner with a broken trigger guard once.  H&R replaced it for free and paid return shipping.  Turn around was about 7 days.
