Does anyone have a good trick for disassembling Glock mags? I just got a bunch of used Glock 19 mags and want to clean them out. I've always had a hell of a time taking Glock mags apart, and these are no exception. Surely there has to be an easier way to get the floor plate off?
Thanks for any help. |
| Can't help ya bro, Every time i have to take one apart it's a p i t a. Looks so easy on the youtube vids. push the middle button thing down, squeeze the sides and slide off. but i swear no matter how hard i squeeze the sides its never enough to make the floor plate slide off. |

Quoted: My fingers are a little worse for wear, but I got them apart. It was still a pain in the ass. Your fingers should be fine if you're doing it correctly. Use the punch to apply 99% of the force required. Your thumb acts as a brace. It used to confuse me years ago until I did more than a few of them and got the hang of it. You don't even need to squeeze the mag body. Once you do a brand new mag the first time, it is easier on subsequent attempts as the little bits of plastic wear down some. |

Stick the Glock Tool in the access hole and pull it off in the direction it slides. This is the technique taught at the Armorer's Class. |
