Let ’em see you are clear with Plug’r

Firearm matches are an awful lot of fun, I am sure we can agree on that. With any sport safety plays a role in keeping us all toeing the mark.

One huge aspect of range safety is showing a clear chamber (unloaded firearm) while waiting for your turn on the firing line. Matches such as these have a lot more participants than range officers so checking each chamber individually is not practical thus chamber flags came about. If you are unfamiliar with a chamber flag it is a plug that fills the chamber and allows you to partially close the bolt. The chamber plug will have some sort of indicator attached to readily identify it is in place showing the firearm is clear.

Admittedly, compared to most of the gear associated with firearm matches this is not the most flashy piece of gear but that does not have to be the case. When it comes to your shotgun chamber flag, take a look at Plug’r is an all plastic chamber plug designed for shotguns with a side ejection port and is safe for the innards of your shotgun. It has a “remove before flight” tag reminiscent of the ribbon on aircraft. This shows a safety is in place that will not allow mechanical parts to function while the aircraft is grounded. This translates to your shotgun being easily identified as safe as it awaits clearance from the range officer to go hot.

Plug’r is well made from a high impact plastic and is plenty durable for years of heavy usage. It is molded for a secure fit on the bolt face and in the chamber but puts no pressure on the extractor
