I am stumped as to what this plastic red thing (lower right corner) is used for?

I think it has something to do with showing the gun is unloaded or something like that.
The prong looking part goes into the barrel chamber.
I know I'm not very helpful..

Chamber flag.

Some states/ranges require you have a chamber flag in while you store your gun. At least that's what I've been told, since I've never seen or heard of anyone who actually had to use it...

It's a chamber flag to signal that the gun is unloaded. Some ranges require their use, however most do not "require" them and you are allowed to lock the slide back instead.

I have a yellow one for my AR which is nice because even from 100 yards downrange I can look back and see it's clear. You can't see the bolt hold open from a distance.

I threw my XD one away.
