| What is your guys thoughts on putting a grip plug in the frame of a glock ? I know the reasons for both. Let's you grab a magazine when there is a jam. Some say let's water run out. Others says prevents debris from entering. |

I Don't buy any of the reasons for it. In 35 years of using guns I've never had to drain water from one.
If I did drop it in water I would take down and clean anyway. I use plugs because the hole just bugs me because it looks like something is missing and I'm a little OCD. |

not just water, but its techically for any debris that comes down out of the trigger via gravity.
i dropped a couple glocks off for service at Srmyna, and they both came back to me with an extra little baggie with the plugs, and the armor explained they were not only no necessary, but not recommended. but clearly enought people like them, as they continue to be on the market. |
| I use plugs specifically because I always have my firearm tucked underneath a shirt and it really does prevent lint from getting in through that hole. Another reason is that it makes inserting a mag fast a bit easier. In combination with base plates that provide a solid purchase to grab in the event of a stuck mag, the plugs really work for my specific needs. |

No plug here. If the factory wanted it plugged they would have. Plus drainage, grab mag, everything stated above. If JMB wanted 1911 front straps checkered he would have made them that way. Yeah I know it's not the same. I put plugs in the range gun play toys. And checker the front strap on 1911s. |

They absolutely aid in mag insertion. That's why I have them. +1 Case rim of the top round of the mag get caught on the "U" at the bottom of the grop for me. It may be the way that I naturally reload but I could not get the problem to go away no matter how much I tried to change my reloads. Trust me, I hate adding gimmicky things to my guns, but a grip plug is the only gimmick that serves a purpose *for me* I finally put a Glockmeister grip plug. Makes a world of difference. |
