Sometimes you just have to have the correct tool to do the job.
Due to the location inside the mag well no normal punch can do it.
People figure there has to be a cheaper way of doing it, then are upset when the tube comes loose later, sometimes at an embarrassing moment.
Brownell's sell one tool for about $25.00.
Years ago there used to be cheaper tools around but they didn't work all that well and were discontinued.
One way to make the job stronger and pretty much eliminate any chance of the tube ever coming loose again is to use a Dremel carbide ball cutter to make slight countersinks on the tube holes inside the mag well.
The countersinks will give the tubes room to flare out below the surface of the mag well.
This will increase the strength and holding power of the flare, and prevent any interference with the magazine.
You might ask on the gun forums if someone would rent you a tool.
Another option is one of the plunger tubes that mounts with screws or over the upper grip screw bushing.
Kinda cheesy but they seem to work.
If you're going with a standard tube, don't cheat on the price. Buy a top quality machined from bar stock tube, and make sure that where the mounting tubes meet the main tube are radiused.
This will prevent the tube from breaking off.
