What's the concensus? Are they a good thing to have or not? I hear a lot of people with LE backgrounds say they are stupid and prevent you from being able to strip mags and a lot of people with military backgrounds who won't run a glock without one for reliability reasons and smoother reloads. For my purposes, I'm not rolling around in the mud but I do daily ccw glocks with all the attendant lint and fuzzies. What say you?
I think they help with ease of reloading. I like 'em.
I think the drainage logic is a cop out due to the cavity being an artifact of the manufacturing process.
I don't drive around with my truck windows left down because it might dry out faster if water gets into my truck. I keep the windows up and keep the water out in the first place. This is especially true in the context of a Glock grip in military type service where it spends its life in a holster and therefore in the "funnel" position, not the "drain" position.
I have the plug installed on most of my Glocks, but haven't run out to grab one for the one that doesn't have a plug, either.
It's more work, but building an internal funnel/speed chute/whatever you call it with some filler is my favorite option.

I like the Glockmeister plug, it does help with reloads.
I like the Pearce, and they do help with reloads.
I am not aware of any LEA in this area that allows them and almost every LEA in this area is using Glocks.
Lanyards aren't used much these days, but I use one on my glock at times. I believe the plugs block off that possibility. Not likely an issue for most though.
I like them. They speed things up, they haven't given me a problem yet.
+1. I like the Pearce and their Gen.4 plug still allows me to use other backstrap/beavertails.Originally Posted by LSP552
I agree. They work very well.
