[QUOTE="adluginb, post: 1436940, member: 3401"] Decided to remove the internal lock on my wife's night stand gun. This is a S&W J-Frame model 638 bodyguard. I bought the plug from a guy that sells them on S&W forums. Removal was pretty straight forward and there are YouTube videos for those that are interested in doing it yourself. I ordered a stainless plug for this J-frame and also a Blued plug for my M&P 360 that I will be doing next week. Start: Yes my wife has pink Crimson trace grips. [b][Broken External Image][/b] Grips removed. [b][Broken External Image][/b] 3 side screws removed and cylinder removed. Cylinder doesn't have to be removed but I did to make cleaning it easier. [b][Broken External Image][/b] Thumb piece removed. [b][Broken External Image][/b] Side plate and hammer block removed. [b][Broken External Image][/b] Close up.
