The "PLUG"

[Bullseye Smith]

Hey Everyone, Thanks for the orders. But I was thinking that I should remind you that if you buy a plug and the gun is a bead blast stainless finish, you can take the green pad from the sink that you use to wash pots with and ruff the finish from shinny to a dull finish. Do this before you put the plug in of course . If you have a picture, feel free to post it .

Yes it does work just fine. The "Plug" is really simple to put in. Take out 4 parts of your IL Gun & put in 2 pieces of Bullseye Smith's invention. Takes about 10 minutes to do. If you can talk & chew gum at the same time, you can sure put in the "Plug". Heres a pic of my 627 with the "Plug". Great invention !

Guys you are looking great, both 627's look great. Hope they serve you for many years.

I put one in my 357, my friend's two 325s and another one in a friend's 60-15...

Fairly easy to do except in the 60-15...the recess in the frame was REAL tight trying to get the securing clip into...

Other than that..S&W should install these at the factory and put Bullseye out of business... ;-)

I hate to say it....

I hate to say it but you'd think the mere existance of anyone making a S&W accessory such as this would give them a SUBTLE "hint!"

The plugs look great though.........

SuperMan - what do you want to do to a old man without a job and getting money from two to three plugs a week puts food on the table. I know you were just kidding around, Have a good one .

I haffta say that the "plug" just purchased and installed did just what you said it would. THANK YOU!!! It went into my J-frame 340PD.

Here are the plugs I intalled last year.

Payment sent for a stainless plug! I'll reserve this post and post a picture after I install it.

Bullseye if it were not for your product I would have no confidence in carrying the 357PD .41 Magnum and after my friend read several of "THE LOCK" stories he would have dumped the 325 PD for carry...

I have three more to put in...two 686 .38 Supers and a 4" M500....

Thanks so much for a great product.

Hey Bob,
Just rass you back a little, I thank you and everyone that has bought the "PLUG" from me. Anyone that was un-happy or lost in the mail I try to make happy. I made it for just what you said, so people would buy a new Smith and not to worry about a lock-up or the wart look it gave the new guns. Now I'm happy that I did because the extra money comes in handy now. I hope everyone will buy a new S&W to just keep them operating so the kids born today can enjoy a American built handgun Like I do. I don't own any inports, and won't in a hand gun. "GOD BLESS AMERICAN" and the "NRA".

I'm not comfortable altering the IL (primarily for legal reasons) nor do I personally find it necessary (due to the very low number of failures, and I like the safety redundancy).

That being said.....from the photos I've seen, it does look VERY nice when installed in the gun. And, seems to be VERY well made. It certainly appears to serve its purpose well.

 

[exfebee]

I consider the IL on the S&Ws to simply be a "locking device". They are nothing more or less. You turn the key to lock or you turn the key to unlock. You have the same thing when you loop on the chain lock that comes with some weapons. They either have the locks on or taken off. I certainly would not keep a weapon on my night table with the chain lock on it, nor would i keep a weapon with the IL turned to "lock". If you have children then you do have some precautions that need to be taken otherwise. In the event you ever have to use the weapon, i would really hate to tell the Bad Guy "oh wait a minute while i get my key & unlock my weapon so i can defend my family". Legal issues, i just don't see them. I haven't seen any State or Federal Statutes which prohibit them. Perhaps some other guys can comment about their State Statutes, or perhaps some of our "legal-beagles" can express their thoughts on this issue. The "Plugs" are well engineered and made. They are certainly worth the money they cost .

I agree with these comments.....well put. Mine is rarely used, but there are certainly occasions where I do like having it....primarily, in situations around the kids. Just added security and piece of mind for me.....that's where the safety redundancy comes into play.

 

[exfebee]

Yes i do agree with you Bubba. When you have children or grandchildren around then there is that impending danger if they should get hold of your weapon. In that case there are certainly times the chain lock can be put on. When our grandchildren come over, all my weapons are put out of their reach & unloaded. Otherwise they are loaded & around the house or on my person as need be. We have had a series of Home Invasions & Robberies in our area in the past three months & its good to have a weapon handy.

 

[Bullseye Smith]

The big thing is "SAFETY", got to love those kids and keep them safe, the lock can help with that part. But please teach the kids not to touch or play with the gun, A gallon of bug juice and a 357 does real well in showing them what can happen. This is the best reasons for and not for the lock that has been on this forum that I have got to read. I have no kids around so all of the ones that I shoot are plugged, but it isn't for everyone as noted above. Safety in firearms is everyones job if you like or dislike a firearm. Everyone should learn to use one in a safe matter.

Well, I just took my M22-4 apart and, of course, it looks nothing like the one in the training film, from the mainspring right on out, so I'm stuck for the time being on putting in my plug. Maybe some kind soul with do another film on a Smith with the regular long mainspring, hammer block safety, and all of the other things I encountered, not in the neat film someone supplied to the forum.
