No sore fingers, and no expensive tool necessary!
Materials:
1. screwdriver small enough to fit glock floorplate hole (If marring is a concern, use a stiff plastic pokey thing you find lying around the house.)
2. another small handheld screwdriver; second can be any size
3. chair
I do the following:
Use any stiff tool available to push the little black dot on the bottom of the magazine, push until it pops up between the magazine spring, and the front part of the magazine. When you remove the tool, you will see a spring and the tab will not be visible. Work until you get to this point!
Now what? Grab your second screw driver and sit down!
Put screwdriver #2 on the ground, place the magazine on top so that the floorplate is as close it can be without being on top of it. Now step on the magazine close as you can get to the floorplate. Give it a good step too, the more pressure you use here, the less busted up the floorplate tabs look.
Insert the small screwdriver into the hole and using your other hand to stabilize the magazine, pull towards you and the floorplate should pop right off, easy as cake!
I was fumbling with ways to disassemble these damn mags without that expensive armorers tool, and this was the best and most simple way I could come up with to take them apart without putting a hurtin on my mags or fingers.
You can use anything you like, and apply the same method as better resources may be available to you. I can futher clarify if my description was vague.
Hope this helps!
