"PLUG" Thread

[Bullseye Smith]

I was asked about the flag replacement and I haven't found what I'm looking for that is safe and isn't SCREWED-UP on looks. Plus I have worked on the small hole that the "J" frame has with no good results. Some one has a idea PM me with it and maybe it will get the wheels turning ( they are only flat on one side LOL).

OK...got a photo of the 686P with the plug...looks great. The 638 looks just as good, but I didn't photograph it today...I got some new holsters for Christmas and was taking photos of the guns, holsters and plugs out in the back yard. Thanks Bullseye!

My hammer and trigger look the same as all the others, but the way the sun was hitting it may have caused it to look different. When I used some Mother's Mag Polish on the gun, I also hit the hammer and trigger with it, so that may have cleaned them up a little, but not much. I did clean the guns a couple of days ago and they are immaculate. Someone mentioned the dried polish under the rear sights...I got that all out and it is shining once again. Later, B

To install, while I'm sure it's not the way previously posted to install I personally first installed the plug. Then I aligned the $1 spring as shown in the 1st picture. Lastly, I used a screwdriver or to gain more leverage use a needle nose pliers and then pushed the spring in place. The $1 spring works well and the plug isn't going anywhere.

installed

Note: in order for the polished stainless steel plug to match the satin stainless finish on the above model 60 and 640, I personally used a wire wheel instead of a kitchen scorching pad as the kitchen scorching pad was taking too long.

In short, I couldn't be happier. Looks factory. I'd buy again. hope this helps

Love it!

The plug is just right on my 60. Had to tap the spring clip in place after struggling with it for about 15 minutes. Put the blade of a large screwdriver against the rounded end of the clip and a few light taps did it. Pulled the whole lock assembly out.

I just got through installing a plug on my m638. Looks great. Well pleased.

I'm very happy that you like them, I made them so everyone would feel better about thier new gun. This forum is the only place you can get it, I don't sale on other forums or flea-bay. We have a few members that have sold else where for me and I Thank them for doing so. Enjoy your nice Smith and have fun .

John,

I thank you again for your work creating "The Plug". I'm very happy with the product. Of course, I hope the product becomes unnecessary because S&W stops putting that ridiculous lock in their revolvers.

PM sent for plug info

This is a GREAT product!!!! I have done my own 357PD .41 Magnum, my friend's two 325 carry guns and another friends 60-15 .357 3". Other than getting the clip onto the Plug in the 60-15 all were pretty easy to do. The recess in the 60-15 was very small and the clip took some "persuasion" to get on...

The clip is tight, but it will stay in place. Thanks for the kind works.

The Plug-Need one!

Hey, Bullseye. I have a Model 649 and I am in need of a plug?

 

[zainyD]

Bullseye, looks like a great product! I am considering one for my 638, but would like to see what you and others come up with to fill the smaller hole behind the IL.

 

[IkenI]

Bullseye...Great product! Another order on the way.
Thanks

 

[abbysdad]

Great product Bullseye. I just installed mine and it looks good. I gave mine a satin finish for my 642. I would also buy a small hole filler if you invent one. Thanks, P.S. fast shipping also

i just skipped over a few pages glancing at posts.
seems most folks here are plugging stainless pistols?

is there a blued version of the plug available?

Just got the July 2010 issue of Guns & Ammo with the new M638 article.
Had to come back here to see what was going on and post yet again about the first handgun I ever wanted, back in 1993 --- but haven't gotten it yet!!! --- the BODYGUARD.
However, in the article, it's referred to as the 'successor' to the Bodyguard...?

Anyway, yes, the 'Hillary Hole' has had me baffled, and also the 'arrow'.
Now, we've got a 21st Century version of the .38 Special Bodyguard with a 2 1/2" bbl. and a need to have the two 'uglies' removed...

Well, I might just pull the trigger on this version of the Bodyguard because it is a combination of:
1. The latest iteration of the original, which was the Airweight.
2. It's still a .38 Special.
3. It has a bit longer bbl.
4. It can be 'fixed' as mentioned above.

I'm also interested in that 'blued' version of the 'PLUG'...is it available?

That's my story, so far.
Guide me otherwise if you think I oughtta go for the .357 --- 'cuz I'd really like that option, too.
Thanks.
