Does anyone have a picture of the G21SF back strap insert in the pistol?

I have these on all my other Glocks.  I know that they don't add any functionality but I still like them.

I've found a few for sale:

They say they stick out beyond the grip but I would like to see a pic of how far they stick out.

Before you go about stuffing the anus of your glock...consider this: if you had to rip and strip, you think you could get your hands around the mag properly?  I think its nice being able to stick your finger into the magwell to get a better grip when pulling out the mag.

Also, the compartment doubles as a foam earbud storage compartment.

The plug would be better if it was fitted flush with the frame.  I think however it does help prevent some hang ups with mag changes. You can also make a semi circular cut in front of the magwell like the 17 has to help with pulling out stuck mags.

My guess is that they look like all the other Scherer plugs and look like this:



vs Jentra or Peirce plugs that look like this:



My understanding is that the Scherer plug sticks out to about the bottom of the mag baseplate.

I made my own out of a G19 DEEP6COMP plug from Glockmeister.com.

The reason I have the plugs in my larger frame Glocks is to cover the half circle cut out in the back of the mag well. It helps to prevent snagging when reloading.
