Glock butt plug good or bad?

[Sylvain]

I dont know if there is already a thread about that.
This is a question to all Glock owners.
Do you have a plug in the hole at the on the base of your grip?
Why or why not?
Is it for a technical reason or only for look?
I heard it could be bad because debris cant escape the gun but in the other hand I heard its good to plug that hole so that debris dont get in.
I would like to know what you think.
If that were a problem Glock would sale their gun with a plug in my opinion.

It is for a lanyard I think. The Beretta has one as well. Glock actually sells a olive green lanyard on their website.

Butt Plug.. Heehehehehehehhahahah sorry to tempting

Butt Plugs are good... keeps debris out of a fine firearm, and it aids in reloads. That, and you can't fart.

If you don't plug your butt you'd be surprised what can work its way all up in there. It's a must for an EDC Glock. NO HOMO

GLOCK "Safe Action Pistols"

 

[Yeah]

I don't know of anything that can reasonably get up into that hole that is going to hinder the pistol. The amount of lint it would take to stop a Glock you could make a pantsuit out of.

The hole is there to aid in gripping a stuck mag. Though I've never stuck a mag in a Glock I suspect it is a legitimate purpose and there is no upside to plugging it.

I've wanted to suggest this sort of usage to a number of Glock fans over the years, but never expected someone else to bring it up in a public forum.

Ok Im not even going to touch the title of this, but it is called a grip plug not a butt plug. A simple google image search will prove this. Just remember results are NSFW

I have heard of two reason for this opening and one other use.

One was that the original design was to have this space to allow easier removal of a mag while wearing gloves, should it become stuck. Not sure of the validity of this nor do I remember where i heard it.

The second was for to debris to escape the trigger assembly. Again I have no idea where I heard that and I dont know if it is true.

I have also heard of people keeping a few small spare parts in that space in ziploc baggies and then adding the "butt plugs"

I have one in mine, and i have no problem removing mags and my trigger works. Some of the plugs will have reviews stating they fall out after a few or even a few hundred rounds. I have a pearce grip plug and ~500 rounds through it since i put it on and its not even loose.

He said butt plug Beavis, huh huh huh.

I was told that it was to help remove a stubborn mag on the 1st gen glocks that were not drop free

I saw it called "butt plug" on many website that sale them.
Also I did the Google image search (just be sure to search for "glock butt plug" and not "butt plug" alone lol) and I found lots of pictures of it.

I guess there is no official name as its not a Glock part.

Glock grip plugs are good if you are using it in the right fashion it is intended for & does not affect reliability. Talk of butt plugs should be in on another forum

 

[public servant]

I don't know of anything that can reasonably get up into that hole...

If I had a dime for every time I used that line...

As has been said, the space is there so you can get a thumb or finger farther up the magazine for more purchase if the magazine is stuck. It actually serves a purpose.

Some put the plugs in, I think it's a waste of money. But that's just my opinion.
