Do I need a butt plug???

[h8ns8n]

well I finally own a Glock... a 23 to be exact and am wonderin if the grip plug is needed or is it just for cosmetics
also when the mag is at full capacity it seems like it takes alot of pressure to insert it fully. Is that normal?
Thanks

Anything that keep dust and debris out is a good thing. I have them on all of mine.

It depends on how hard it is to seat. Mine go in firmly, but it does not act like they are straining.

(That is kind of a strange follow up answer to the question of if you need a butt plug....)

Having it can speed up your reloads a little, as the mag can get caught up in the edges of the frame around the hole. The best is my internal magwell mod (shameless plug) and yes, a full mag can be tough to seat when the spring is brand new.

Theres really not anything up there that minds dirt and debris, but it cant really hurt.

The plug is totally cosmetic.

That's your call man. You may want to get at least a dinner out of the deal though.

My Glock 22 has one. They are mostly cosmetci, but they do serve a purpose.

There are basically three kinds of plugs.

The ones that fit flush, made by Pearce, Lone Wolf and a few others...

The ones that protrude that are made by Jentra...

And the ones that protrude, but are flat because they feature a hidden door that can hold a "last ditch" cartridge inside!

These are my favorite plugs for the Glock 19/23 series, because it aligns "just right" with the magazine's base plate.

As for the mag seating kinda hard? Just download your magazine by one round. It'll snap in smooth as butter.

They also have them with a little tool kit inside to do field work only on your gun?

True, this is a great mod and worth every dime
