The Northern Ireland international made a number of excellent saves, perhaps the pick of them when he swopped low to his left to push away a close range header from Sam Field in the second half, which came moments after he had dived full length to push away a volley from Steve Cook.
His efforts, as well as that of his team-mates, earned the Pilgrims a point at rain-soaked Loftus Road despite having Adam Forshaw and Freddie Issaka sent-off.
Argyle completed the signing of goalkeeper Dan Grimshaw from League One outfit Blackpool for an undisclosed fee, reported to be around £600,000 plus add-ons, on Friday but not in time for the 26-year-old to be eligible to be involved against QPR.

Rooney said: “How we are trying to improve the squad, I want to create a real competition for places. Obviously, Dan came in... and we didn’t get the paperwork back in time to have him available... and Conor has shown what a really good goalkeeper he is.
“He made some fantastic saves....”
