I am sure it has been discussed on here, but I can not find anything, so here we go. I know many are removing the great locks, but I also thinks somewhere, I saw that there was a plug or something being used to fill the hole. Can someone help with my big hole problem.

I want to apoligize to Raycat & Smithnut for my comment earlier. It was out of line & even though Smithnut edited it, I just deleted it. I guess I watch too much of The Office. It won't happen again.

I use a plug made from a pliable magnetic strip of hard rubber that has a clear tape backing. I really don't know what it's called, got a roll of it at the hardware store. It's dark grey, looks like a stud post when it's fitted. Depth is just right, it fits flush with the gun's surface. I use a leather punch and press fit. The one on my 21 hasn't moved since I bought it a few years ago. I figure since I couldn't match the gun's color exactly, I'd use something that looks distinctly different, but that looks like it belongs.
