Stay away from butt plugs!

always always use lube

Have a gen 3 G21 that I've had for about six months. I put a butt plug in it a couple months ago and just noticed yesterday that there is a crack running from the little hole in the grip to the bottom of the frame.

Anyone else have this happen and know what glock charges for a new frame?

Crack in the butt ? What ?

Epic thread lol.

This thread is awesome. Guess I should've expected it with a title like that!

Anyways, gun has never been dropped as suggested. Talked to glock this morning and it's $100 for a new frame and the bad part is that it has to go back in jail for 10 when they return it...hopefully I can at least get them to give me a short frame.

Moral of the story, always use lube and don't butt plug your glock!

GOOD... if you do ever DROP your glock... now, since you decided NOT to use a butt plug, DON'T bend over to pick it up - NOT in this thread anyhows...

Pretty sure there's a reason why that gap exists. I read it helps the frame to flex with the recoil, which makes sense.

I agree with mad mule. That hole is there for a reason.

Well... you gonna tell us... what is the reason for the butt plug hole... I'm just curious

It's there to drain water and debris.

What you're saying is the hole is there for crap to pass through.

[101st Airborne]

Oh, it might have cracked because you didn't lube it properly before you inserted it.

always always use lube

Or you can just spit on it.

Mine is plugged. There are several types of plugs and some fit better than others. I knew when I was pushing it in it was a good fit.

You should pay attention to the fit of the plug and as your pushing if it's obviously too tight you shouldn't force it as it can cause a crack. It sounds like yours caused a crack.

Use of the plug seems to be controversial and some say it's OK and some say it's not recommended. I'm picking up a new Gen 4 and I've decided to keep it unplugged because it affects use of the back strap. I haven't decided which strap to use yet but I think after I get more hands-on time with it I know better.

My plug is black but apparently they can be had in different colors.

I think you are getting off topic a little..a butt plug does not need a strap. Maybe you are confusing it with a strap on? Sorry I had to get in on this one

Waiting for someone to create an epic meme....

Somebody needs to add this to the Calguns "Best of" list somewhere
