A FLGR can add extra steps to take down. That was certainly the case with my Springfield TRP and additionally it required an Allen wrench.
As far as function and benefit. I didn't see any improvement in function or any perceived benefit other than making takedown more difficult.
I quickly replaced it with a standard GI rod and plug. I am much happier with the replacement. In my opinion, a FLGR is simply a gimmick.
If I were you and the gun I wanted had a FlGR, I'd buy the gun and replace it. It it didn't have one, that is even better.
