I am a full time carry. Today while at my local Big Box store an older fella handed me somthing I dropped. Thanks I said,then I realized that my butt plug had fallen out AGAIN!!! I was carrying my G36 held fast by a Clipdraw.I like the plug cuz it fills in the gap between the mag & grip.
Question: What does everyone else use as an adhisive that works on Polymere?Don't tell me Crazy glue, model airplane glue or epoxy!! Tried them they dont last!!

Butt-Plugs are a waste of money. :tongueout:

Seriously, I tried them after I bought my first Glock (G23), and never bought another one again. They are unnecessary.....In my opinion. :wavey:

I have a lone wolf plug in my 26 and it stays in fine until at the range at it slowly backs out after mulitple rounds. Next time I am probably going to remove as it is annoying. My 19 plug is better and quite frankly lets me get to my clip which the lone wolf impedes. I certainly would not use super glue as the fumes will travel into the trigger mechanism and bond. Bad idea.

The grip plug on my G26 was also falling out after shooting a few rounds. I've just reinstalled the plug and epoxied it. You need to roughen the surfaces that you are applying the glue on with sandpaper. It will stick better that way.

You know, never thought about ever using super glue on my Glock but he has a point. Super glue fumes will stick to surrounding area if enclosed such as in the butt of a gun. That is a bad idea. Maybe that is how the gerbil got stuck in Richard Gere.

First of all, all you buttheads who don't like buttplugs, back off. You're free to do or not do to your butthole what you wish. Some folks like the look of a plugged butt, and that's all the justification that's needed.

To the OP. You probably won't do this, but it's a sure way to solve your problem. I did this with my G27 and it's works perfectly.

Go to your hardware store and buy a small diameter steel setscrew about 1/8 inch long, or a little longer. With the plug in place, drill a hole of the appropriate size for the set screw, that is, a little smaller diameter, from the inside of the magwell into the plug. Screw the setscrew into the hole, being sure that it is flush with the inside surface of the magwell. Run a finger over it to verify no protruding. Put a dab of black oil-based paint on the setscrew and it all but disappears from view. I used one of those Brichwood-Casey gunblack paint markers. The nice thing about this solution is that it absolutely secures the plug, but is easily removed for whatever reason you like.

The nice thing about this solution is that it absolutely secures the plug, but is easily removed for whatever reason you like.

I also considered this option; but I am trying this first: use black electrical tape and wrap one or two revolutions (use your judgment here) around the portion of the plug that goes into the gun's grip hole. Then insert the plug in the hole. The extra thickness increases the friction and keeps that plug in there pretty well. I cannot declare success until I have a chance to try it at the range. But so far, I cannot remove it using my fingers. If I need to remove the plug, I may need to use pliers to pull it out.

The poor OP!! Are you thinking "why did I ask?"?

Just teasing a bit as well

My 27 had the same problem -and I thought it was pure!

Seriously, I used a Jentra plug, and in the plug itself, I stuffed a couple of foam earplugs in it to expand the walls, then put a bit of some kind of super glue on the walls, and set it in the pistol. It stays put now, and if I do want to remove it, I can; it will just take a bit more work and maybe some hot soapy water.

It sounds like you may have to get a larger butt plug. Your butt plug hole has been stretched out beyond repair and it is time face facts.

The butt plug you are taking about is a pressure fit plug. It presses in place and is held there by friction. The plugs for the larger Glocks like the G-17 snap in place and never come out. The G-26 is another story. I had that same plug for my G-26 and it was nice to have the extra grip it provided. It also has a sort of a ramp on the mag side which helps with inserting the mag. I don't think plugs are a waste of time or money, they are not for everyone but they do provide some pros (and cons) so if he want to keep his plug in place, give some advice. Don't just tell him to toss it in the garbage. That doesn't help him.

I took my plug out of my G-26 because I reprofiled the grip frame and it would no longer fit. I still wanted to use it so I did the set screw method and used it on my 2nd gen G-17. It worked because there was a hole in the back of the frame on the G-17. The G-26 doesn't have this hole so unless you want to drill your frame, you should be looking to increase friction or increase the size of the plug. Sounds like a perfect job for friction tape.

Silicone caulking is what was recommended to me by the Jentra company.

It's the rubberized caulk...use it just like glue. It doesn't harden completely yet keeps it from falling out. I have it on my G26 & 27, they've not come out yet.

Okay, being totally serious, I would recommend rubber cement. It will stay pliable and somewhat tacky after drying, so the plug should stay put, even if the glue bond somehow gets compromised.

You may also want to refer to these accessories as "grip plugs" in the future. :supergrin:

All kidding aside, the standard clear silicone caulk is ideal. It stays flexible and is extremely tenacious stuff. Just a few dabs around the edges of the Jentra plug is all it takes. Mine's lasted well over a year so far and shows no signs of coming loose. Unlike epoxy or a set screw it's easy to remove if you ever want to and leaves no traces.

I was a butt plug user until I went to 2 tactical handgun classes taught by a Blackwater instructor. Now I dont use them at all. The reason is that if you are in a situation where you are having to shoot your firearm and have a Level 1 or Level 2 malfunction ( stove pipe or FTF jam) you must be able to rip your magazine out clear the malfunction, reload and get back into the firefight. The butt plug will prevent that from happening. During the course the instructor made me leave the butt plug in and he set up Level 1 and Level 2 malfunctions. Needless to say, in that situation I was incapacitated and the bad guy "got" me. Thats why Glock put that space in, to allow your thumb or finger to properly grip the magazine and rip it out!

I have thrown my 4 plugs in the trash and I will never use them again!

Absolutely! The hole in the grip is a solution to a non-existing problem. You can get a secure grip on the sides of the mag base with no problem. As for letting water drain out, it's much more likely (unless you're a freaking SEAL), that you'll drop the gun in dirt, sand, mud, etc., and the hole will let crap into the trigger mechanism.

Bottom line, do what you want and don't worry about it. Leave it open and be happy; plug it and be happy.

Yet another reason to use a GAP finger rest. It gives an excellent grip on the magazine and allows you to plug the hole without worrying about this sort of thing. Too bad they don't make them for all models.

You may not need a grip plug, but then you probably don't fight bad guys much. I had an officer working for me, and he got into a fight with a poophead, and after he finally got the poopmeister handcuffed his G22 would not function at all. I could not get the slide off. I had to beat the gun until the sand loosened up and fell out of the grip well. The trigger was also bound up. If you look at the grip well you will see that it looks like a scoop and it leads directly into the connector and trigger block. In my experience you will roll around on the ground with a bad guy alot more than you will have a "level 1 or 2 malfunction" with a Glock, and yes you can forcefully pull the magazine out of the gun by grabbing it on the sides. I am a Glock armorer, Colt armorer, firearms instructor, shift supervisor in the police department, and a twenty five year veteran police officer, alas not a "blackwater" instructor. I recommend that you keep your grip plugs, and keep your Glocks clean.

Well said. That actual incident confirms what anyone with a little sense can logically figure out about what will happen to an unplugged Glock dropped or rolled around in sand and dirt. It's going to muck up the trigger mechanism. I mean, shine a light up that channel--it's obvious.

As for allowing water to drain out, gimme a break. Water isn't as likely to cause a stoppage as grit, so, I'd rather take a chance on making it easier to keep dirt out than let water drain out. Do this experiment. Drop your Glock in a bucket of water. Bring it out butt upwards. The water will still drain out in a matter of seconds. Get sand in there, and it will be a lot longer to clear that one.

can you suggest a brand? Mine is a Gentra(?) not sure of the spelling....mine keeps falling out.....and I dont want to screw it in....

I think it's Jentra. This is a Gentra, by Daewoo. Hell, you could probably fit this thing in there if you tried hard enough...

I had a Lone wolf plug in my 26 initially, it kept backing out during shooting. I threw it out and bought a new one assuming the 1st was was out of spec. I had the same result, it would back out by the 2nd or 3rd mag at the range. I threw it away and purchased a pearce to see if I would have better luck. I have since put about 3k rounds through it and it hasnt back out at all, not even a little. Not trying to bash anyone's product, LWD has great stuff and great service, but if you want the plug to stay in your 26, buy a pearce.

Never used them myself. Just keep the glock clean.

More aftermarket crap giving Glock owners problems.

Why must people add things that doesn't fix anything, and even CAUSES problems? I can't imagine putting things on my Glock that causes problems and trying to keep it when factory they're perfect.

I am a full time carry. Today while at my local Big Box store an older fella handed me somthing I dropped. Thanks I said,then I realized that my butt plug had fallen out AGAIN!!! I was carrying my G36 held fast by a Clipdraw.I like the plug cuz it fills in the gap between the mag & grip.
Question: What does everyone else use as an adhisive that works on Polymere?Don't tell me Crazy glue, model airplane glue or epoxy!! Tried them they dont last!!

If is is really that important to you, why not just buy another plug?

I wouldn`t use an adhisive... What if you need to take it out to clean it every once in awhile... Leave it out... If you need the "Butt Plug" Glock would have put one on them all...

I know, old joke but... an inflatable plug can ensure a snug fit, especially if the hole is of a "non-standard" diameter.

That said, I have had a non-inflatable plug for my G26 and it hasn't budged since I put it in there. If you have tried several of the grip plugs and they don't stay in, logic would dictate that it's your Glock. +1 for caulk or epoxy.

First of all, all you buttheads who don't like buttplugs, back off. You're free to do or not do to your butthole what you wish. Some folks like the look of a plugged butt, and that's all the justification that's needed.

To the OP. You probably won't do this, but it's a sure way to solve your problem. I did this with my G27 and it's works perfectly.

Go to your hardware store and buy a small diameter steel setscrew about 1/8 inch long, or a little longer. With the plug in place, drill a hole of the appropriate size for the set screw, that is, a little smaller diameter, from the inside of the magwell into the plug. Screw the setscrew into the hole, being sure that it is flush with the inside surface of the magwell. Run a finger over it to verify no protruding. Put a dab of black oil-based paint on the setscrew and it all but disappears from view. I used one of those Brichwood-Casey gunblack paint markers. The nice thing about this solution is that it absolutely secures the plug, but is easily removed for whatever reason you like.

LOL My most sincere apologies! I have been laughing so hard while reading this thread, then I got to this post… I guess I read it all with the wrong mind set… Oh dear! My sides hurt!! :rofl:

I pray I am not the only one with the severely twisted mind that has misinterpreted nearly every word here. Will have to continue reading the thread now to find out.

For shame Misty...for shame!

This is a place for only serious discussion of Glocks and other firearms related matter. If you feel the need to display any vulgar, kindergarten humor...then you must be the type of individual who needs a lesson on what our fore fathers have sacrificed for us.

Our rights and freedoms were won not so that we can discuss taking some fresh black caulk and using it on our butt plugs. No! That is wrong!

Our freedoms were not fought so hard and won by discussing wiping all the K-Y lube from our slides before inserting butt plugs. No! That too is wrong.

Was our first amendment was put into place to discuss the stretching out of our butt plugs?

Hmmm....you know what? Maybe they were...as long as Eric lets us!

<bowing head in shame> Sorry! :embarassed:

Stayed up late to get better educated on my Glock, instead I reached comedy central. I am not complaining, mind you. I needed a good laugh and that much I certainly had! ;)
