Need help identifying unknown object

[Guest shoot2thrill29]

I found this piece of plastic in a Glock box that was for a G27 .40 S&W.  I haven't a clue what it is and was hoping someone recognizes this and can enlighten me on what it is and what it's for.  I'm assuming this may be a stray piece of plastic that fell into the box during packing.  The object measures 1-1/4" x 1-1/16" and is approx. 5/16" thick.  The letters "SIG" is molded into the middle of the piece.  Sorry for the poor quality picture. Thanks for any help with this issue.

I think that is a spacer that comes in some kydex/polymer/plastic holsters to keep the holster from getting distorted/crushed during shipping.

 

 

If I am right, what do I win?

Can't .40's be configured to fire sig .357?  Couild that piece be some part of the conversion kit, perhaps a magazine spacer or floor plate or to use with the glock mag loader tool or something??  

[Garufa]

It's an empty chamber indicator.  You clip it on using the tab then gently let the slide forward so everyone knows the gun is unloaded. 

 

"SIG" stands for "Stick In Gun".

Looks like one of those spacers that comes in Blackhawk CQC holsters to keep the holster from being smashed in shipping.

It looks like a gauge for setting the backlash on a muffler bearing.

[dralarms]

No, its a spacer for a table leg that's too short.

[gregintenn]

Looks like a tool for opening cans of Skoal.

I like a little backlash in my muffler bearing. Makes my truck sound badass.

It's a combination empty chamber indicator/liberal camoflage device for Glocks.  If placed in the chamber it will ingeniously shapeshift the Glock to a Sig, giving liberals the false sense of security that it can actually be picked up on a metal detector, and that it isn't in reality an evil ceramic gun that shoots invisiboolits.

Heck, I'm still laughing at all the responses I got for this post!  Anyways, I didn't want to toss the "whatchamacallit" in the trash until I confirmed it had nothing to do with my Glock.  I appreciate everyone taking the time to check out my "UPP" (Unknown Plastic Piece).

 

"SIG" stands for Stick In Gun....That's hilarious!  What's reallly funny is the fact that I thought the same thing, but it didn't fit like I thought it should...LOL!!!!

_{Not trying to hi jack your thread but wanted to let everyone know that I am a ASE Certified Master Technician and if you find your muffler bearing is out of specs I can rebuild it. I will perform this service and trade for one AR-15 or 1500 rounds of .223.  :rofl:}

It's not a gun part -- guns are made out of steel.

It's a spacer that is installed in the reactor of the Flux Capacitor during shipment and must be removed before operation!

[swim615]

Your Glock is broken.

 

Just send it to me for disposal.

[buck1032]

You folks have it all wrong and I am surprised robbieg19 missed it being a certified mechanic and all. Its part of this,

Its used to clean the wiper blade sharpener. :)

[NoBanStan]

It's a paradigm, you keep it because you're afraid it's not junk. But is junk, or is it?

 

 

but yeah, one came with my blackhawk holster... whatever it is.

You are correct. I'm looking at the exact same piece of plastic right now which came with the serpa holster I'm wearing.

I can tell that nobody missed their dose of "intelligent burro" coffee the last couple of days. hahahaha

Why rebuild when you can buy new?

http://kalecoauto.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=48

 

But if you must rebuild it you probably need a tub of this:

Or if you just want to do away with that problematic muffler bearing you need this:

I didn't know they made cleaners for these. Mine is self cleaning. (little more expensive but it was worth it)

Please keep these things a secret. I make more if I rebuild them. :shhh:

That is especially important on thoes porcelean Glock 7's

[Guest Wildogre]

I thought it was the break adjustment tool for a TARDIS.
