Fo0 Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 Does anyone use a supported reverse plug on their open guns? good/bad/ugly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drewbeck Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 There’s no reason to unless there’s a reason to due to wear or fitting issues with the barrel, or the slide reaming being worn or oversized, or the specific comp or fitting. i had a slide that needed one due to shoulder wear/chamfer on the plug cut, it was a shorty which also changes the amount of bearing surface area and material in the tunnel. no reason to use a one unless you have an issue in my opinion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've heard others call them a "hat" style spring plug. The open gun I just bought has one. I have no idea why. I'll be switching to the dawson toolless ASAP and it comes with a normal reverse plug.
