Hi,
Ordered one of these backstrap channel inserts from Glockmeister for my new G26 only to realize that the 26 doesn't have a lanyard hole drilled through the receiver. I am reluctant to drill that hole myself and don't know a gunsmith - not that that task is necessarily one best done by a smith; drilling a hole through a rounded plastic part would probably be best done by a good machinist. I don't know one of those either!

Any suggestions? Does anyone make a backstrap channel insert which doesn't attach to the receiver using the lanyard hole, perhaps one that is a friction fit?

Has anyone drilled their own hole who can possibly offer tips to position it correctly and drill it squarely?

Thanks.

I drilled mine and installed a modified Jentra plug made for a G17. Plug goes in and stays put. It's just plastic---drill the *&%$ hole.;)

Does the Scherer, which for the 26 looks like a friction fit only, stay in OK?

I drilled mine very easily in about 2 minutes, it's really no big deal. :)

I've heard that the Lone Wolf friction fit plugs fall out with recoil. Anyone experience this with these Scherer plugs? Thanks.

Use GE Silicone. I think it's called Silicone 2000. Clear.

Works great.

I have a friction plug in my G36 and have never had a problem with it falling out.

They do fall out of the 26. Lock-tite or electrical tape filling the space fixes the problem.
