Glock Ammunition Magazines

Glock Magazines seem to last forever. The only reason you would need to disassemble one would be to clean it or replace the magazine spring. Disassembly is fast and easy (once you know what you are doing). Removing the magazine base plate (or floor plate) is the hardest part of the disassembly process. It's not really hard. You just have to do it once to know how much force to use and how to manipulate the punch. The entire disassembly of the magazine can be done in less than a minute. Here are the steps to follow.
