"PLUG" Thread

[Bullseye Smith]

Ok guys, with all the cry babies on here about the lock, how many have the PLUG and like or not like what they have. I have tried to make everyone happy that I know about, but there is away a few that won't say anything. OK then as the song says "Give me your best shot".

John; As we had discussed recently, I installed a plug in my Smith. I had never had an IL failure, but, with the frequency that the failures take place, I was not going to take the chance. In a self defense situation a failure could be catastrophic...in a hunting situation a failure could result in the loss of that prized trophy, and, from what I have heard/read, in all situations you have a gun that is locked up with a loaded round in the chamber and a cocked hammer!!! You are performing a vital service to those that should be seriously considering "The Plug" and you efforts are to be commended....If nothing more, the cost of The Plug insures peace of mind, and possibly protects the Smith owner from a failure to fire when least expected!

My new 627 was "plugged" before it ever made it to the range.

A week later, my 686 got plugged:

If I get any more IL Smith's, a plug will follow shortly.

I've got one. I like it. If an old "bob wire" cowboy can do it, anyone can.

+1 for all that "flat top", "Iggy", and "epj" said.

I have plugs in the 640 and 686 and I love "The Plug". No worries! Pretty easy procedure to install "The Plug" and it is reversible surgery if one ever wants or needs to sell a revolver.

With "The Plug", owners of new S&W's at least have a choice to leave things alone or remove a potential cause of FTF (remote possibility or not). My firearms are always stored safely when not in use and an internal storage lock on a firearm is not necessary.

Thanks for making an excellent product at a reasonable price and for the excellent customer service (PM's, e-mail -- John will keep you up to date about your order).

I got one of the first J frame plugs. Never been sorry I did it. Looks great and removes a possible failure point, what's not to like?

stevegartx:

Send a PM (private message) to Bullseye Smith and give him your e-mail address and/or your contact info. He takes PayPal and shipping is almost instantaneous. You must specify the frame for the plug (J-frame or an L/N frame) -- your 686 is an L-frame (as you probably know). Also, you can look in the Classifieds forum here and run a search for "PLUG" and you will find Bullseye Smith's thread.

HTH,

Chris

Contact Bulls eye Smith the starter of this thread to get the plug.

Thanks Guys for the comments, but after making 100 of the little things you would think that more would have something to say.

Like any other business deal, satisfied customers rarely say anything. A dissatisfied customer will shout his displeasure from every rooftop.

Love mine! Needed three hands to install though. May have been just me!

Ordering two more for my buddy for X-mas...Will do paypal tomorrow...Stainless N frame (625) and black j frame (340PD).

Deja vu all over again

Here's a couple of J-frames I did right after the plugs came in the mail, a 642-2 and a 60-14. The first one took a lot longer than the second. Thanks for the ingenuity, John.

Easy to install. Good fit. I left the flag in to fill the notch. Simple soloution, John.

 

[davel686]

I think there great and really do a good job of fixing S&W screw up.
I hope to get one next year some time, right now I just don't have the money.
luckly I only have one gun that needs one.

 

[Bullseye Smith]

Here is how the pin fits, recoil will push it in and I had to take a pair of pliers to take it out. Easy in and pain to come out .
