I put a link to the Glock Armorer Tool in the description. $6 with free shipping.
This is genius! I just popped a long allen wrench into mine (selected the largest allen that would fit into the hole), heard that nice "click" and then pushed it forward. I actually laughed at how easy it was. Can't thank you enough sir!
Can't thank you enough for this video. Can't believe how easy it was to remove the base plates using this method.
*get something very sturdy, smack the brand new mag that has never had the plate removed since it was built an hit it with a hammer. It’ll push up then use a flat head to use force against it an push it out.
That is easy for a full capacity mag, but on a g17 10 round magazine it is nearly impossible to take the base plate out. please advice tnx.
Helped me more than any other video on UA-cam. Thumbs up.
Thank you sir. I had the tool but not the knowledge. Just subscribed. I'm think of becoming a Glock armorer because I have a lot of Glocks and, well, I newly retired and don't have much going on with covid and all. I will be looking through you videos for tools and other techniques.
Fantastic instruction! I ovalized the holes a bit with the punch but no biggie. Probably will work fine and I doubt they will be going back on anyway.
I'm no mechanical dummy but this method just broke my squirreldaddy tool on brand new g26 mags. A punch however, worked perfectly. Maybe use caution on new mags..
Just tried this on my brand new Glock 19 10 round magazine and broke the piece that the punch is supposed to push down 😐 Base plate did come off but now I have a broken magazine since I am missing that piece.
you should show how to do CA compliant version because I had to find that out the hard way.
How do you do a California version?
You mean I don't need a glock tool from the Glock Store!? In all seriousness I am glad I watched this. Thank you.
I call BS on this entire video. Once you "rip" it off the first time you damage the tabs on the magazine body and now it is super easy to remove after that as the tabs are now ramped, not good. You really need to squeeze in on the sides to prevent damage to the tabs and keep them squared off.
I have a glock 19 and the pin does on go down as far as yours did. Am I doing something wrong?
There are pins on the sides of the mags that don't let it go in
I used a 3/16 pin punch, pushed all the way in, then pulled back, base plate popped right off. 43X 10 round Glock fac. magazine. Installed Pearce Grips PG-48 plates. I did elongate the holes in the Glock plates, just trashed those. I'll never need them anyway.
man stop bashing people for trying to figure out ways to get their base plates off almost every aftermarket magazine besides Glock original equipment does not have that same pin or pinhole or base plate and requires a completely different method of removal so you should be saying this way works only for Glock original equipment magazines
Duvet hole thing. They teach you that term in Glock armorer school
You make it look easy.
Wish it worked on gen 5 10 round mag, button will not push that far down not even close
My glock tool only goes in a quarter inch.
This was stupid easy! TY sir
I can get my Base Plate off my Glocks 26 & 19, but not the 23. I use an Allen key and the Pin does not give way underneath, so I can slide the plate. What can I do?
This doesn't work on the Maryland 10 round restricted mags.... I've bent 1 punch and broke 1 screwdriver and warped the hole in the bottom of the mag. What's weird is that the magazine has all 17 hole windows and DOES NOT have a rivet in it of any kind.... It's like the plastic is fused together or has been glued together somehow.... I litteraly gave up I was so God damn frustrated...
Well hopefully I didn’t break my magazines. I can’t get the base plates off. The piece is stuck that needs to be depressed where I can’t see anything but spring. Now wtf do I do since it is so easy?
Same 🤦🏻♂️
Does this work for 33rd mag
well, I just tried that exact technique, now the inside plate is misaligned and will not return, and cannot take the base plate off... :-( ... any tips on fixing the issue? cannot remove the base plate now at all
Same thing happened to me, and I was very confused/frustrated, but I discovered it didn't matter. Pay attention to the end of the video. As long as you have your screwdriver/punch angled against the inside of the magazine, you should be able to force it off. Just make sure you're putting pressure in the correct direction. I thought I'd ruined two mags but they were fine.
All I'm doing is bending the plastic on mine, howabout glock redesign their shit.
Best vid yet on disassembly of a glock mag, I replaced all my followers from gen4 to orange gen 5, love it...thx keep up the good work...peace
Mine punch won’t go that deep. It only goes in like 1/2 inch
Tried to punch on a few diff ones and they both went down a little but not all the way. Even at full force ;(
Didn't work. If I watch one more "ItS ThAt EaSy" videos I'm going to scream lol
Thank You
This does not work. This must be an old magazine that has had the baseplate removed multiple times
So in armorer school they advise that there is very little reason to disassemble the mag. These things truly last for decades. If you disassemble these more than you should ( and you typically should never have to ) you risk ending up with loose fitting base plate etc. and ...... "induced" issues with your mag that you really could have avoided.
Glock store in SD sells fancy removal tool LOL
Yep. Ruined a few Vickers baseplates with a "baseplate removal tool" (not from the Glock Store) so sometimes simple is better.
Chewed up my mag with pliers
It is NOT literally that easy. I had to disassemble a couple of EDC G29 mags yesterday to clean them, and it was nothing like this. (To be fair, however, I was removing aftermarket +2 baseplates, so the geometry was totally different.)
*I simply razor bladed those ridiculous little tabs off the base of the mag, so my GLOCK base plates can be manipulated same as any other magazine.*
*Razor blades; 10 for a dollar at Harbor Freight, and have a variety of uses. (LOL WTF Glock!?)*
dont do this try somewhere else, broke the punch AND the magazine is messed up inside
Well if he’s been doing since the 90’s on that mag it’s well broken in. So yeah guys it’s easy. Try it.
No. It works just as easy on a brand new mag. People who are breaking and bending their tools are probably trying to pry the base plate in the wrong direction. It doesn't take much effort using this technique.

*"tHeY'rE jUsT pRyInG tHe WrOnG wAy!"*
My brother in Gaston Glock, the baseplate only comes off in one direction.
Prying in the appropriate direction, in accordance with the instructions in the video, does not work on certain new gen 5 mags.
Maybe don't be so condescending and try to figure out what someone might be dealing with that's different from your experiences, rather than insulting their intelligent by insinuating that they can't figure out which end is the front of the magazine?
Bent the shit out of my Glock armorer's tool, still didn't get the base plate off.
It takes a lot of force to bend a Glock 03374 OEM take down tool. A whole lot. You likely were prying the base plate in the wrong direction.
No special tools….has a special tool
I did that and bent the crap out of that Glock tool. Especially on the G43 baseplates
I just can't fathom someone not realizing they are using more force than necessary for this task. WAY too much force, if it bends a Glock OEM take down tool. You likely were prying in the wrong direction. I've been doing it this way for many years, on every sized Glock magazine available.
@@samlott99 Actually, some of the mags especially in the Gen 5 Mags and the 10 RD CA mags, this technique doesn't work at all. So I can't fathom how you think you know everything.
@@Zalagar619 When and where did I say I know EVERYTHING, you self righteous prick? I made a statement based on MY experiences. If you haven't matured in life enough to realize people do that, then YOU have a problem. You don't know ANYTHING about me, just because you read a 2 sentence paragraph. Btw, I just now broke down 3 10 round California Mags with a Glock tool, the ones with my G27.3. If I had ever tried it on a Gen5 mag and it failed, I would have noted it in my post. Grow up little girl. It's YOU who is acting as if she knows everything.
@@samlott99 Care to explain how you did this technique on a 10 round CA Compliant new mag? The punch will only insert just enough for the pin the clear the hole and no more. In this video he inserted the whole punch which would work fine, but the new mags, you can't even insert 1/3 of the punch, even if you try to do it at an angle. The only thing I've seen work is the aluminum baseplate tool that doubles as a bottle opener. There are some other tools, but they aren't worth the money.
@@Zalagar619 The newer mags you mention havent been available to me, yet. Im in Texas, so no reason to go out of my way to get them. The CA mags i do have came from a gun show. They are stamped "Restricted Govt/LE Only" so they are at least Gen 2. I havent encounter the limited depth followers youre talking about but ill keep my eye open.
Uh...so am I the only one who cracked their insert (between the spring and base plate) with a punch?
Nah didn't work. Don't know what all these guys are smoking. But I've tried it with punches and shit.
Worked perfect for me with a phillips head jewelers screwdriver. I first tried it with a punch, but that didn't work because the punch I tried was too too thick and didn't go in far enough.
Doesnt everyone have a punch buddy
dont do this with the real avid 4 in 1 tool. just broke the punch :)
just ruined my mag. thanks
It’s not that easy, get a brand new mag. These videos are useless. Ofc when you take off the mag plate 15 times it’s gonna have over 50% less tension
👍
Nun of that is working , ima about to break my 33rd mag. The punch won’t go in I’m just scraping my base plate. Useless video
Just does NOT work
Worked perfect for me with a phillips head jewelers screwdriver.
"Don't buy special tools"
SHOTS FIRED
This is a direct attack on Lenny, and the seven tools he sells to accomplish this task (now available in cerakote gold)
How do I give this video more than one thumbs up? I have been struggling with this ever since buying my first Glock. This is the way!
