How do you get the floor plate off of a Glock mag?

press in the detent(through the hole) and beat the thing off with a dead blow hammer, those suckers dont like to come off.

OK, is there a way to do it without tools?

All you should need is a Glock tool.

If it's a first generation mag without the hole in the floorplate, just squeeze the sides in slightly and slide it off to the front.

If it's one of the newer mags, use a small punch to press the detent in thru the hole and use the punch to help pull the floorplate off.

This works for me... I figured it out after slicing my hand on a Scherer mag.

Take the rear corner of the floor plate and push down (hard and firmly) on something solid, like a wooden table.

If it has a detent, push that in first. (duh!)

(This should work for 1st Gen mags too, but I'm in CA and my guns are in MO so I can't confirm, nor remember. If the above doesn't work, do it while pushing in on the sides like ARkie says.)

Yup, works every time.
