Good Afternoon To All,

I wanted to post some initial impressions of the C&H Precision Speed Feed EDC.
A small back story first: Many years ago, while hunting in Texas, I took a long slide down a muddy bank while wearing my Glock 20. The slide down the embankment packed the back strap gap full of Red River mud. The gun still functioned fine and it was a good opportunity to detail strip the 20, wash it out in creek water and continue on. Getting all the mud out of that space was a challenge though and prompted me to consider grip plugs for debris mitigation. I have installed plugs in most of my outdoors Glocks since that time.

After picking up a Gen 5 17 and 45, I again began to look for a plug. I like the medium backstrap with a beavertail and wanted a plug that allowed me to continue to use them. This led me to C&H Precision Speed Feed. They have three different models based on material of construction and I opted for the polymer version as I did not want to add weight.

I ordered two plugs on Thursday and a package from C&H showed up at my house on Saturday. Unfortunately when I opened the package there was only one plug inside. I checked my order and it did state two so I sent a follow up email to C&H. I will follow up once they contact me. The plug comes professionally packaged.

The plugs themselves are very well made. So much so that I when thinking of a description, the term precision polymer product, came to mind. My plug was flawless. The plug appears to be designed to fill the entire hole in the backstrap of the Glock frame and had a perfect fit. It also has a few nice features incorporated into the design. The first of these are indexting groves cut vertically into the plug. The groves correspond to small extensions in the Glock frame and help with the exceptional fit. The plug also has a small radius on the bottom that allows for the use of the Glock backstraps. Lastly the bottom of the plug is relieved to allow the shooter to get a thumb or finger into the bottom of the fram area to strip a stuck magazine if needed.

72115

72116

Installation is Glock stupid simple with one caveat. If you have installed a backstrap, you must remove it first and then insert the grip plug. No installation tools are shipped with the plug, so you have to supply your own 3/32 wrench. Simply insert the plug (reinstall the backstrap if needed) and tighten the set screw.

Once it is in, it appears to be a part of the gun. The fit is that nice. I did practice some reloads and the plug did seem to slick things up a bit. Time will tell if it really improves reloading, but my first impressions are very positive.

72117

72118

With all these positives, does the C&H Precision Speed Feed have any negatives? Well the price is two to three times higher than other plugs on the market. The overall fit and quality of the plug as well as the innovation of design do warrant an steeper price than your normal 5 buck Ebay plug for sure, but they still seem a bit pricey. I hope that as they sell a bunch and recoup some of the R&D expenses to allow the price come down.


I think folks who enjoy quality will not have a problem with the price, but 99 cent store shoppers will give it a hard pass. I think that is OK, because this product does not appear to be designed or produced for the bargain shopper. One thing that would make the price more palatable would be the inclusion of a 3/32 wrench for installation. I realize we should all have the proper tools at home, but sometimes I get a part in the mail, throw it in the range bag and head out to shoot. For the retail price, they can afford to include one.


Overall C&H Precision has an exceptional product that not only works as advertised, but will most likely exceed the buyer expectations for fit and quality.
I hope this helps out some Gen 5 users out there,
Matt

Good review. These were developed with the input of our own Gio, and I had the opportunity to T&E a Speed Feed Aluminum EDC model.

Fit on my GEN5 G34 was tight, but as noted it blended into the frame and backstrap like an OEM part. I've used Pearce plugs for years, and the CHPWS product is noticeably superior in fit, design, and quality. It really does look like it is part of the gun.

The ramp is functional. I've used it extensively in dry fire practice (some live fire too, but ammo pricing...) and found my reloads are more consistent with the Speed Feed. The occasional "hang-up" I would experience with no plug or the Pearce plug don't seem to happen with the Speed Feed...reloads just...go. No, it really isn't going to make you faster, but I've observed a material consistency benefit. I'll be purchasing some more for my other Glocks.

Contour at the back is extremely forgiving on reloads. Pretty much impossible to hang up the rim of the top round in the mag on the edge of the grip plug the way I have seen with some other grip plugs.

Jentra plugs work fine and I have a couple of them in my Glocks. The main differences that I noticed were the Jentra plugs are hollow and don't fill the space in the grip, they also snap in place, you can't use one plug for gen 4&5 for use with back straps and the Jentra plug doesn't allow you to insert a digit behind a stuck magazine for easier removal. They both work, just one works better for me.

Realistically? It offers CHPWS an opportunity to continue to ignore quality control and customer service issues, by focusing on a new product, instead of fixing issues with existing ones.

this has been making the rounds on FB. Sounds like they need to make an official announcement
TL: DR: Unexpected growth + poor hiring. Should be better now


“All,
It's taken four days to craft this email. Why? Pride. LOTS OF PRIDE!
The past four years have been like living in a hurricane. The pace of business slowly picks up speed, we think we can accommodate everyone's needs, then the wind speed picks up and you know you're in choppy seas, you make fixes, then things calm down, only to find out that was just the eye of the hurricane and you're in for round two of even worse weather.
If you want to hear a story about uncontrollable growth, fathom this for a brief second; C&H Precision has grown 781% over this same time last year and 3,228% over this same point in time two years ago.
I have poured my heart and soul into building a reputable brand over the past 10 years here at C&H Precision and in just a few short months, our reputation has been stained by a combination of events. 1. Bad hiring decisions due to lack of workforce during COVID. 2. Insufficient training of these new employees by myself due to lack of time or too much trust in the skills they claimed on their resume. 3. Lack of "give a shit" by several staff members (They either don't have a passion for the job or they lost the passion for the job). 4. Lastly and most important, Lack of Leadership and Mentoring of staff by myself. 15 months ago I knew I needed help and tried to hire a General Manager but the person my company needed and I wanted declined my offer so I continued to attempt to do everything myself.
Over the past four years the biggest challenge has been hiring the right staff. We made the mistake of hiring some staff and thinking we could train them to be great, however, even with great training, if they don't possess or have the right attitude, the only thing they did was collect a paycheck and become great at masking mediocre work as high quality work which then ends up coming back to us to re-work or fix again.
Over the past four months we've made some major changes behind the scenes. After seeking out some mentoring from several of my previous bosses from within my time in the DC area, they each reminded me that my most valuable skill set was not in the running or managing staff and day to day operations, but in solving technical issues, designing and developing new concepts or products, and collaborating with users or groups to solve urgent needs of operational forces.

The Fix Is In!
Change Of Command / New General Manager:
In Feb we hired Dana Smith from NineLine. She has over 20 years of experience in everything from retail sales, to managing a large sales and production staff, production operations, sales and warranty operations within the firearms industry. She now runs and manages all day to day operations. Having her experience and outside perspective is helping us to streamline processes and improve efficiencies and get us to a place where we can continue to manage the growth of the business.
Within her first few weeks she has become the catalyst for positive change and has implemented many new changes and improvements to the company.

New Production Manager:
In March we hired Chesnee Holly, the older of my three children. Over the past six years she has been studying Mechanical Engineering and Engineering Operations Management at Michigan State University. She might be young but she's interned with us and Bergara over the past five years and she's got the 'It' factor and is fantastic at planning and organizing operations. With the changes she put in place:
Chesnee has been focused on revamping the production schedule to increase productivity and have better inventory tracking. This will only get better once we have fully integrated the new ERP software. We have also eliminated waste of both time and materials through the new processes she has been implementing.

Screw Packing Machine:
The first thing Dana identified when we came aboard for the massive output of labor to pack screws for every package. She immediately began a search for a fix. She found a company in China and within four weeks we'll have a new machine that sorts, counts, weighs, and marks every bag of screws for our production line. Here is the video of the machine they made for us. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y89G9KSsFqo
ERP Software:
Over the past two months we've been integrating a new ERP system so we can better track every single aspect of slide milling and plate production. This software package will take a few months to start working efficiently but it's going to help tremendously.

Getting Our House in Order:
Over the past six weeks we've cleaned house. All employees identified as not being able to produce quality work or those lacking the proper "Give A Shit" are gone. We have redefined job roles and responsibilities to ensure we have the right people focused on the right things.
Marketing / Social Media Manager:
We recently hired a veteran Marine who graduates from SCAD today. He's extremely talented with social media, video production, photography and marketing.
Web Page:
We retained the services of a Beyond The Brand Media to completely revamp our web page for a better user experience.

Family Owned and Operated Business:
We are a small family owned and operated business and we take this very seriously. Between Dana and I we have five children, 9, 14, 16, 22, and 24 and every single one of them works within our company either part time or full time.
We are not a company run by an MBA shirt and tie guy, nor are we a bureaucracy that takes weeks, months or years to change. We pride ourselves as leading from the front, being in the trenches everyday and we often make changes to a process immediately as needed to improve our customer experience.

The Ask:
I'm asking each of you to trust me, trust my instincts and trust my team. We are not perfect, we're never going to be perfect, but we will always strive to be somewhere close to perfect.
If any of you, any of your colleagues or anyone you know feel they have not been serviced properly, have an issue, hear of an issue, or need assistance in any way, please contact me directly and Dana and I will ensure the issue is resolved ASAP.
Thank you for your business and your endless support. I apologize if I've caused any of you any issues but I assure you we are doing everything in our power to make the proper changes and upgrades so none of these issues happen in the future.

Sounds about right.

I'm half amazed that they're selling a 40 cent piece of 3D printed plastic with an 8 cent screw and charging close to $30 for it as something innovative when similar products costing about $3 have been around for years. Hell, the MagPul GL is only $25.

They also ripped off Robin Taylor's Seattle Slug (the brass and aluminum plugs) which has always cost around $35 and are charging (gasp) $100 more for it.

Unreal...

I get the CHPWS hate and wouldn't send them a gun or slide to work on but this product in particular has nothing to do with their milling services.

The price point is faintly ridiculous especially in the brass version but realistically speaking they have not done anything that another company can't do. If the market will support it someone else will undercut their price. The idea of making a gen4/5 compatible grip plug out of brass, flush with the grip, with a good contour in the back that is conducive to fast reloads, is not some kind of crazy invention but somehow they were still first to market.

The Seattle slug has been around forever but it extends out the bottom of the gun which makes it not USPSA legal AFAIK. Last I looked they're also not that easy to get a hold of anymore, and I don't think they make them for gen 4 or gen 5 guns.

I bought one of the 3d printed ones and will probably end up drilling holes in it and stuffing it with tungsten weights or something.

I returned a CORE slide three times, when their plate for a 509T, installed by them, kept coming loose. I finally emailed Buck, and he responded immediately, asking me to return the entire pistol and optic at their cost. He personally fit the plate, test fired it, and the pistol is on the way back to me. I am hoping the fourth time is the charm, but I can’t fault Buck, as he was very responsive.

I’ll chime in here. The design requirements/concept for the grip plug was my idea, but C&H Precision took those concepts and created a product from it. I have no affiliation to the business, am not paid by C&H, and have no insights to their cost/markup/pricing or customer service. The business is local to me, and the owner and his son belong to the same gun club, shoot the same local matches, and are genuinely good people who want to do the best they can for the gun community, military, and law enforcement. I will say that they have grown exponentially fast. When I went there 6-9 months ago for the first time, they had a few teenage-young adult kids running a handful of CNC machines, and now they’ve expanded into multiple buildings with massive machinery going in every month. They also seem to be hiring new personnel every day to keep up with demand.

As for the grip plug, the reason I went to C&H with the design concept was because nothing out there was perfect. I’ve been a Glock shooter my entire uspsa career, achieved GM with a gen4 Glock and have had multiple top 16 finishes with a Glock. Most of the forum is familiar with my shooting background, but may not be aware of how exclusively ive shot glocks and experimented with making them competitive in a steel frame DA/SA world. I’ve tried every product on the market for filling that magwell gap, and all of them come up short.

Most plugs leave a hard ledge at the back of the magwell or incorporated a hard ledge themselves (Pearce). Most are not compatible with gen4 and 5 backstraps. Only the glockstore thug plug was made of brass, but it is not compatible with back straps. The Seattle slug sticks out the bottom and is illegal for uspsa/idpa, only ever made for gen3’s, and not available anymore. People used to pay $100+ to have a permanent modification to their frame called a sevigny speedway, where an epoxy was inserted in the backstrap and a smooth ramp was created similar to the C&H precision profile. One of the local GM’s in my area and FAST coin holder still has the sevigny speedway mod done to all his guns. This plug gives the same profile but is removable and not permanent. If you get the same mileage out of a cheaper plastic plug, go that route. But this plug from C&H helps me get a 40 oz glock and an ultra forgiving magwell profile.

I'm in no way knocking the design (it's not new...Taylor was willing to make the Slug Plug flush if you asked).

My critique is regarding the price and the marketing. Hopefully the market will sort that out.

Yea I get that with pricing.

Unfortunately, Robin Taylor missed the boat a bit. I remember him saying a gen4 version was coming for years. I contacted him personally and asked him to make one for gen4’s, but I think he moved on to other projects and never revisited Glock mods.

Gio, props to your idea of a better grip plug for guys that run backstraps. I hope you hold the intellectual property rights for your design because it should belong to you.

I don’t have a use for a different grip plug as I use a glockmeister(sp) and a cut down medium backstrap, but I like seeing a option that is similar for folks who do run a blackstrap. $30 bucks may be high for a plastic piece but let’s be honest we all have wasted way more money on crappy gun accessories.

Here’s some pics of the polymer and brass versions in my guns:

I helped with their marketing video as well, and we unintentionally got a great slow motion shot of the ramp design working as designed at around the 00:16 mark on an unloaded start where I bounced the back of the magazine off the speed feed ramp. 50/50 chance that would have gotten hung up on the case rim of the top round in the mag by catching on the hard ledge inside the grip if there was no plug or a plug that doesn’t form a seamless transition like the Pearce.

Just a quick follow up on the missing Speed Feed:

I contacted CH on Tuesday and had an almost immediate reply. They shipped me the missing plug the same day it went from GA to CA in three days. It was the same quality as the first plug and fit right into my 17 Gen 5 with an added backstrap.

I realize it is a bit more than some other plugs on the market, but for those that are saying they can't see why less than a dollar's worth of plastic cost so much, they are not buying the machine that makes it, paying someone to run it, buying the raw materials, paying rent, paying utilities, paying insurance, paying R&D and on and on. It is not as simple and taking a Bic lighter and melting some plastic into place.

Like I said previously, I don't mind being the beta tester. I have honestly reported out what I observed. I hope if more people buy these, the price will come down. It is extremely hard to buy Gen 5's in CA and I am trying to source 19 right now. If I am successful I will add a Speed Feed plug to that gun as well. That is how much I like this product.

I am only comment on the Speed Feed Polymer Plug and not anything else offered by C&H.

I hope this helps.

For the plastic version, that really does seem steep.

Personally, I've gone to just using the Glockmeister plugs, since they fill in the whole half moon cut, and don't have any sharp edges to catch the mag lips/top round on unlike others I've seen/used. They don't have a "funnel" shape, but they do have a far more rounded shape than something like the Ghost or Pearce plugs. Biggest down side is you cant use the OEM backstraps unless you cut the bottom off them. If this new plug was closer in line with Glockmeister pricing, I'd have to give it a shot.

Glockstore's "Thug Plug" is what I've used, for a brass option. $29.95 + shipping, weights 2.3 oz. I filed mine down on the inward side a while ago to provide a ramp of a kind for reloads.

https://www.glockstore.com/Thug-Plug?quantity=1&custcol8=16

But yeah $47 or whatever for a polymer Glock grip plug, however functional? And there doesn't seem to have been any nonrecurring R&D costs to recover in production? Hmmm. But hey it's a free market out there.

CHPWS is running a sale on these right now, 20% off brass and polymer and 10% off aluminum. I think it ends at midnight tonight.

I purchased one brass and one polymer (before the sale of course) and they arrived last week. I am extremely impressed with the fit of both, it is what every grip plug should be, and pretty much exactly how I had planned to design one myself before remembering this thread. I run FCD plates on my MOS Glocks and I have no desire to use any CHPWS services based on everything I've read, but I'm not aware of any grip plug on the market that is comparable, so I'm ordering a couple more. Now I just have to wait for a sale on Talons since I'm going to have to replace those to install the plugs on my other guns.

I ordered four polymer ones (2 for 45s and 2 for 19s) and was sent the correct part for the 45s but aluminum for the 19s. It is VERY difficult to tell them apart, and even harder while they are still in the packaging since I didn’t see that marked anywhere on the packaging, so I wouldn’t be surprised if that happens often.

The retailer I ordered from is taking care of me and I’ll have the right ones in hand soon, but it was nice to have a chance to check both out.

After handling both I really like the polymer version. It gives a better funnel than the usual plug I use and has enough space to strip a mag if needed. The only negative is that I can’t help but feel it costs a little more than a piece of plastic should.

The aluminum does everything the plastic one does at double the price. I’d say the only advantage is that the screw is a little easier to get started since it’s actually threaded, but that isn’t a big deal at all and the aluminum ones are a hard pass for me.

I’ve always used Glockmeister plugs also, but I wouldn’t say they are functionally the same. The Speed Feed is better… but is it 5x better? Almost certainly not.

In the grand scheme of things it’s still a pretty relatively low priced item and I’d probably spend the $25 difference on way dumber shit anyways so I’m glad I ordered them.

For anybody looking to pick one up Big Tex Ordnance carries them and always has some type of discount code available.

I get preferences and that better is a subjective thing but honestly I don’t see how it would be functional different, with the gen 5 Glocks and the mag well it is almost comical how easy they are to reload. Just throw the mag in the vicinity and it goes in.

It’s only 30 bucks but couple that with the way the company does business and it’s just not appealing.


If you got a quick pic comparing them that would be great for people to see the difference.

I purchased two of these when they were on sale. The one for my 19 has paid dividends. I carry concealed daily for work and the 19 is a gun i have always struggled with concerning reloads at speed. The fact that i don't extend the guns footprint with a magwell and i still have an assist on reloading quickly is a positive. I have improved in consistent reloads with this item. I carried a Seattle Slug with my old 23 for nearly 2 decades and was super fast with that system. I wish they could have extended the speed feed a bit more to mimic the slug but it is what it is. On my 17, which really only comes out for specific work events, i don't see as much of a benefit from the SF. I guess it is the longer grip and longer mags maybe? Either way for me the SF was a good purchase.

I wouldn't necessarily say it is a matter of preference. The Speed Feed is objectively better than the Glockmeister plug, but only slightly. It would be up to the individual to decide if the "more better" is worth more money.

I got my Glock 19 models in the mail today so snapped some pictures while I was installing them.

This picture shows the installed speed feed (Glock 45) on the left next to a Glockmeister plug (Glock 19) on the right.

77513

The ramp in the back gives you quite a bit more distance towards the back of the grip where the mag will still be funneled into position. The Glockmeister doesn't necessarily impede the magazine should it contact in that area and it will still slide forward, but it doesn't push it 'in" to the same degree. I haven't ever had issues missing with mags in that specific direction where it wasn't still close enough to go home, but it IS an improvement.

You can also see that the Speed Feed has a more precise fit. Once installed, there is no play at all where the Glockmeister does have a little wiggle. I don't think this really has any affect on function, but the tighter tolerances are nice considering the higher price.

The next photo shows each pistol (in the same order) with a flush magazine inserted.

77514

You can see that the Speed Feed provides a lot more space for you to get your thumb in to strip a stuck mag, which in my opinion is the biggest improvement.

The next two photos show how much of my thumb I'm able to get into the gap to grab the magazine.

Speed Feed:
77515

Glockmeister:
77516

Is using the Glockmeister instead of the Speed Feed going to get you killed or make you lose a match? Definitely not. Should you ditch Glockmeister plugs that you already have to replace them with these? Probably not since you already have a workable solution. Would I recommend someone who is buying for the first time to spend the little extra and get this instead of the Glocmeister? Definitely.

I do share your concerns with CHPWS as a company, and that is why I waited quite a while to buy them. I purchased mine from Big Tex since I wouldn't be stuck with CHPWS's crappy customer service if something went wrong or I didn't like them. Unfortunately, I did have an issue but they got it resolved easily and quickly. There is zero chance I'd send CHPWS one of my guns/slides for them to perform work on, but I don't have a problem giving them money for innovative products as long as I know I'll be taken care of if something isn't right.

Thanks for the pics, I see your point. Seems like prob one of the best plug designs out there.

FYI - these are on sale for 50% off through the end of the year. I’ve been wanting to try them on my 19 and 45, but the price was scaring me off. Ordered.

Awesome, order placed. I liked them at full price and even more now at half off!

Thank you for the tip. Ordered the 2 I wanted.

I installed these in my 19.5 and 45. My impressions are favorable - they do seem to make reloads a little more foolproof compared to the simple plugs I had in them before. I wonder if they will expand the polymer line to fit the 26 size guns?

Put mine in this morning. Will head to the range tomorrow but some dry fire/ reload reps this morning showed nothing but favorable results.

CHPWS has the Speed Feed on sale. Is it worth the extra $47 to go with the brass vs the polymer?
I do run a TLR-1 on my iron sight G34.3 because I like the extra weight, so I'm thinking the brass should help too.

If the weight is desirable, then IMO yes. I personally prefer the polymer, but then again I haven’t tried the brass.

I'd personally like the brass one but the original asking price of $150 was absurd.

That said they are currenty asking $60 for it which is IMO much much more reasonable and at that price I might try one.

Yeah, I jumped on the brass version at 60% off. Cost to my door was $69.95.

If this new plug was closer in line with Glockmeister pricing, I'd have to give it a shot.

Now that the plastic versions have come down to a more realistic price, I'm trying them out in a 19 and a 34. So far I like them. They do offer much better purchase on the back lip of the mag than the Pearce or Glockmeister plugs, when stripping a magazine out.

I was an early adopter of these, and paid about $40 each, for 3 of the polymer version. I'm a cheapskate so I'm mildly frustrated the price is down to $10 each, but overall I'm happy because these things are great. Way better than every other Glock grip plug.
