Don't waste your money

Would not fit my Glock 21 Gen 4 hand grip.

Insert for G-26 does not stay put.

I agree with the other 1 star comment that this insert does not stay in place for the subcompacts. I've lost a couple at the range and the last one bought only took five shots to come lose and drop off. I've reinstalled it with a few dabs of medium strength locktite and, maybe this will help keep it in place and still be removable when needed. We'll see.

G21SF plug falls out

The idea is good but . . . This looked good and tight when installed but fell out on the third shot fired. reinserting it lasted only one more shot making this useless. The ones I've installed in my 19 and 26 work as advertised. However, without gluing as stated in the other review, it will not stay in the gun. That is just not acceptable.

Save your money

The only way to secure it in the grip of my 20sf would be super glue or a screw. There is no nub on the plug to click into the grip hole...so non secured it will just fall out. Poor product design.

Different from Picture

This specific one that's made for subcompact glock is friction fit, which means there's no tab to hold it in place like the one shown in the picture. (since there's no lanyard hole to begin with on this model of glock.) Further more, since it's friction fit, after a few shoots fired, it begins to slip out of it's socket. It's a unnecessary distraction especially in self defense situation. Product not recommended.
