Friggin thing won't budge. I push in the button on the bottom, then try to depress the sides and slide it off. Won't budge. I've wrecked my fingers with this thing. Anybody done this???

Don't bother pinching the sides of the mag, doesn't work for shit.

Just use a punch (Glock tool works well) to depress the button while squeezing the sides of the body and pry off the base plate. It's really not that difficult, just use some muscle.
