Considerations & Trade-offs
- Designed to limit magazine capacity to 2 rounds, so it is purpose-built for compliance rather than general-capacity use.
- It fits most 12, 16, and 20 gauge pump and automatic shotguns chambered for 2.5", 2.75", or 3" shells, but compatibility still depends on the specific shotgun.
- The plug must be cut to the desired length, so setup is not completely plug-and-play.
- Plastic construction avoids moisture absorption, but it does not offer the traditional material feel of a wooden plug.
