11 years later and this is still the first one that popped up when I searched. That's what I get for being attached so S&W for so long and late to the party with Glock. Outstanding video sir. Very straight forward and resolved my issues. Thanks a lot.
Thanks for posting this.I've been shooting for over 50 years, but I just got my first Glock.All my other semi-auto pistols are Rugers, and they don't have the little locking tabs.It's amazing how you can find an answer to every little problem you run in to on yutube.I can't tell you how many times this resource has save me from throwing a gun or gun part,right through a wall.L.O.L. My son and I have done car repairs the same way.Knowledge is power.
Very helpful, thanks! On a brand new magazine, it is hard to open the first time. I used a pair of channel lock pliers to gently press the sides of the magazine (wrapped in a cloth to avoid scratches) which did the trick nicely.
Definitely not easy. Never could get it off. And i used a punch instead of a glock tool. But when pushing in on the tab i never could get my punch to go as far in the magazine as he did with the glock tool. I was only able to get the punch to go about an inch into the mag & that was it
Definitely not easy. I pushed the plate down before I realized I couldn't squeeze it enough to get it off. I had to use _two fucking metal paint scrapers and a shitload of force just to slide it off!_ Fuck that, never again.
Okay, after 3 hours toiling along with probably 5 or 6 videos, I finally got it for my Glock 42. I thought I messed up the spring so bad that I would only be able to use 4 rounds LOL. It was only easy once I figured out the trick. Now that I've gotten it done, the trick that I would have told myself was first to push in, keep the spring down but put pressure on the plate to where it overrides the tabs and you can slide it out. This was the video that help me the most. A lot of videos said you had to squeeze or even use pliers. I'm glad I found that not necessary.
dude so simple. i learned this a long time ago i used an allen key, but hadnt done it in forever and forget exactly how to do it. thanks for saving me a headache and reminding my silly self this simple trick!
Thanks a ton man! Just turned 21 and got a 42 for my first pistol and wanted to install a extended baseplate so I could get 2 extra rounds and this helped a ton!
Same here. I grabbed the 26. Did you get the spring stuck under the base plate? I did😂I’m unable to get it from under the plate so that I can take the plate off. Jay have to just end up buying two mags. Such an idiot lol.
Thanks for your video. I'm actually 50 and I've had my G22 Gen 2 since '91, but it came with non drop free mags, which are easy to remove the floor plates. I've since gotten drop frees and on the one I fiddled with, the other day, I couldn't get it off for the life of me. I wasn't pushing the floor plate down far enough, so thanks for the explanation. I'll fiddle with it tomorow. I have a couple of 2+ extenders that I wanted to install, so that's my reason for disassembly. Chris
I was trying to follow the instructions in the Armorers manual I found on line and was having no luck. I was worried that I was going to ruin one of my magazines as I thought that I was pushing too hard with my Glock tool, and I thought that I had messed up the spring, and I was about to try to pry the base plate off with a screw driver, and I thought about RUclips. I found your video and...piece of cake! Thank you a million times for such a clear, concise video that saved the day!
Thank you for providing some actually meaningful insight. All the other videos are just like put a screwdriver down and it pops out which is not accurate. You are a blessing
Super Thx! I thought I had totally rendered it useless b4 watching your video. I messed it up so bad whereas the top follower I plunged it in, the bottom tab I plunged it in. I was ready to trash it and buy another UNTIL I saw your video. Other videos didn't go into great detail like you. I too had issues with the side tabs at first. Persistence paid off. On a Glock 23 Gen 4. Good work!
Very helpful video! I knew how they came apart, but I did not realize there were two little locking tabs (and I wasn't pushing the locking button down far enough). Thanks!
This is the best explanation yet! I am not new to firearms but fairly new to Glocks. With 1911 mags they have no locking tabs. Thanks for pointing that out on the Glock mags!
I've struggled with Glock mags for years until I watched this video. Some of it is grip strength, most of it is technique. For folks that struggle with common Glock tasks like disassembling the magazine, removing the slide, or even pulling the slide to the rear (you may laugh but my 13 year old nephew who is mostly fit couldn't do it on my G19) work on your grip strength. Get one of the finger and grip exercisers and use it while watching RUclips videos. It will not only improve your pistol grip, but simple armorer tasks as well.
When i watched the RUclips video "Glock Magazine Disassembly (In HD)" by "Humans4Targets" i realized the trick is to push the punch far enough into the hole to cause the floor plate to move down into the mag alongside the spring. Then a little side pressure can be applied and the cover plate moves off more easily. Ended a lot of frustration for me. I hope it helps. I heard you say on one of your videos that you were having the same problem. P.S.: I enjoy your videos very much. Tom Corbett (retired teacher from Conn.)
This helped me allot! My mag was faulty, came faulty from the shop. I thought, lets look at it before i make a trip that'll cost me 20 bucks, maybe I can fix it myself. And yes the inner plate was pressed in allready! Thanks man! Was an easy fix.
As someone who got his first g43 a few months back and just took apart the mag for the first time. This was super helpfull even though its basic. The side tabs are really not mentioned in most places
good vid for the newbies. i highly recommend that people do this with a glock tool or very small philips head screw driver. the leverage you gain makes it Much easier to remove the bottom.
Thank you the only thing I wasn't doing was squeezing the sides to bypass those two little tabs. It really is easy. Making sure you put the follower back in correctly is important. They just "pop right off" they sure do right on off. Gah that was very easy thankyou defender of freedom, loved the story about you losing your gun at the get together with kids around. Love to hear more stuff like that. Need more people like you around very inspirational person.
Excellent tutorial! Walking us through each step with very clear explanation, plus warnings about spring pressure, made it painless to learn. Many thanks from a geriatric tenderfoot who's all thumbs. Also appreciated nomenclature, and repetition. Keep the vids coming, Sir.
I will be nominating you for the Nobel Peace Prize! Thanks for making this hitherto painful task a cinch. All the joints in my hands are giving you a standing ovation. I watched one other video before finding yours, and the "instructor's" method required the hand strength of a large primate. Well done, sir!
I just got done reading a bunch of comments saying this method does not work. This is my first time ever stripping a magazine, and using this method i was able to get a magazine stripped, cleaned and re-assembled in about 4 minutes. I found i had to apply more torgue with the punch when pinching the sides in, but that was all it took.
Thank you so much for taking the time to make this video. I have a Gen 4 Glock and it takes a little effort, but they will come apart just squeezing on the sides as explained.
Thank you!! The stock base pad is hard enough to remove, but squeezing on the sides actually did help. I was skeptical at first but I was able to get it off.
Fantastic disassembly video man, thank you so much for explaining everything so clearly and showing parts up-close to the camera with good angles. Most importantly thanks for recording in HD! :-)
video gave me confidence to change out my glock 30 45 caliber I changed to magazines less than two minutes just remember to squeeze the mag in a little bit worked just like the video
Great video and great close-ups. I had installed Pierce Grips on my Glock 27 mags around 10,000 years ago and completely forgot about the two tabs on the sides.I wanted to put the original base plates back on for less printing when carrying. Done.Thanks.
A lot of guys and GALS who need to know this stuff. Thanks for the video. I'm new to Glocks and in need of swapping out the followers in the California 10 capacity G17/34 mags I own.
Thanks Paul, I have some glock mags for my sub2000 so this will be useful. I just hope I can find the right type of dog to chew the glock tool first :] ~Israel
this video rocks!! thanks a bunch for posting. everyone tells me how difficult it is to take these mags apart. not difficult at all, now that ive seen this. thanks again!!
Bro...thx great vid, required no muscle, no muss, no fuss, I was worried how much side psi it would require, (G19 gen4 mag) fingers worked just fine...I was also concerned if it would "Waller Out" the lil hole...nope, BTW glockstore wants $29 for their disassembly tool, which doubles as a bottle opener...ha ha I changed out the followers n put in gen5...(worked great)...great job...keep em coming...be sure 2 squeeze on the tabs while pushing down, be sure 2 snap the post in (kinda aggressively)...once u have ur fat finger out of the way, (oh thats just me), one of the easiest upgrades I've ever done...(after watching 7 different vids...ha ha)
Thanks for the video. It’s one of those things that once you know how to do it, it seems super simple. I’m just always terrified I’ll break something if it offers even a little resistance.
Thanks for posting this video! I just purchased a couple of Pearce plus 1 magazine extensions and this video helped a lot. I had to use an Allen wrench and a small channel lock wrench to squeeze the tabs on one of the mags because finger pressure wasn't enough to compress the two tabs. Got em swapped out though!
Thanks for sharing this video, I didn't even begin to play it without first thinking that your dog must of got ahold of that Glock tool by the looks of it, I'm getting ready to install some Pierce extended ends on a couple of new magazines after doing it on some others years ago but not remembering the easier way to do it by squeezing the sides, for people who have strength difficulty you could open up some plyers to the larger setting and use some light leverage instead.
This is not as easy as it looks or seems; however, after reviewing these videos, the only way to really get the base plate off is to either use a punch or a small screwdriver to push the floor plate in. Then using the tool (screwdriver or punch) pry the base plat forward (towards the rounded end). It will snap past the tabs. Forget trying to squeeze the magazine. Then keep your thumb over the spring as you remove the base plate to keep it from springing across the room. You might want to wear gloves or wrap the magazine in a wash cloth because my palm and thumbs are pretty sore.
@@snowflakecuntreeman3947 haha unfortunately I'm not talented enough to play piano either! If you're still looking for a solution, what I do now is I use an allen key to push the button down and a miniature c-clamp to compress the sides of the magazine. Works a charm, though the button is a bit banged up from using the allen key. Make sure you don't tighten the clamp too much and put a cloth or something in between before tightening or it'll leave marks.
@@bathwars lol, great minds. Yep used a Allen key as well and used one of those wood clamp thingies to compress, think i should put a small G-clamp in my Glock case just incase. I'm not worried about looks, the more scratches something has the more character it has. My car has alot of character thanks to the woods 😁
GREAT video, VERY helpful. Purchased two Pearce Grip pinky extensions for my Glock 26, factory mags it came with are just too short for my hand. WORLD of difference now, can't wait to get to the range. If you follow the instructions in this video, you'll have ZERO problems, it actually is as easy as it looks. Had both mags (and extensions) done in less time than the video took. THANK YOU kindly.
*I'm not "New with Firearms", but I guess I'm new with Glock mags.* *No other magazine I've ever come across, has these goofy-ass tabs!* *Living in communist Deep State California, I thought it was another hoop they were making us jump through.* *Thanks to your video, my mags are clean, and I know my Glocks better.* *Oh, and your mag was a lot easier than mine, I had to use my GI Joe Kung-Foo Grip to press it in enough.*
Squeezing the sides of the mag does not work. I thought my fingers were not strong enough, so I put the mag in a vice and squeezed the sides so good, they almost cracked - still the side lips won't budge. Torqueing the base plate with a punch real good is the only way but I bent the plastic around the hole of the baseplate.
I agree. I was so focusing on squeezing I wasn't applying enough pressure towards just sliding the bottom out. After I took the bottom off, I tried squeezing the clip and it has no play in it, not even the slightest. It's hard plastic so it doesn't move without cracking. The glock mag tool doesn't require sqeezing either, just press the tab away from the hole and pull apart hard.
Alex Povolotski Just get a oil filter wrench with south grip ends,& push the pin down while applying pressure at notches with soft grips. No problem. Even a girl knows this.
thanks for posting this video and care about us beginners and those of us (me included) who can take as much knowledge as possible from all veterans in the world of firearms. Not everyone has been around them as long as others nor knows all their ins and out, so once again I'm deeply appreciated. keep making great videos man thank you.
Thanks for taking the time to explain. 👍 I am sure it will help a lot of people. It’s an over engineered POS IMO, That round tab on floor plate is all you need to keep it together 🙄
11 years later and this is still the first one that popped up when I searched. That's what I get for being attached so S&W for so long and late to the party with Glock. Outstanding video sir. Very straight forward and resolved my issues. Thanks a lot.

Excellent video on showing how to disassemble a new Generation Glock magazine with the tabs. You made it look easy, thanks.
Very helpful, thanks! On a brand new magazine, it is hard to open the first time. I used a pair of channel lock pliers to gently press the sides of the magazine (wrapped in a cloth to avoid scratches) which did the trick nicely.
Serious thank you dude! Squeezing with pliers and a rag as others suggest was useless and nearly destroyed my mag.
I was today years old when I learned how to disassemble my Glock mags. LOL thank you
Same here👍
Thank you, I was having a bear of a time getting one of my mags open. I did not realize they had to be squeezed. Very hard I might add.
"it's as easy as that."
No.
It really isn't.
Yup, you got that right. Good video though. 👍
Definitely not easy. Never could get it off. And i used a punch instead of a glock tool. But when pushing in on the tab i never could get my punch to go as far in the magazine as he did with the glock tool. I was only able to get the punch to go about an inch into the mag & that was it
pufthedragonCCS No freaking joke 9 mm Glock magazine is a pain in the ass especially to put back together
Definitely not easy.
I pushed the plate down before I realized I couldn't squeeze it enough to get it off. I had to use _two fucking metal paint scrapers and a shitload of force just to slide it off!_
Fuck that, never again.
pufthedragonCCS - actually, it really is easy once you do it. 😊
Okay, after 3 hours toiling along with probably 5 or 6 videos, I finally got it for my Glock 42. I thought I messed up the spring so bad that I would only be able to use 4 rounds LOL.

This was the video that help me the most. A lot of videos said you had to squeeze or even use pliers. I'm glad I found that not necessary.
Thank you - The trick of forcing the locking plate all the way down past the spring is what did the trick!
They don't just "pop right off"
Not even a little bit.
I guess if you do it enough, it'll wear it down enough.
this was perfect. new to glocks, didnt notice the clips on the side right away. thanks!
I just learn it from you after 5 years of being in gun communities. Your way is way simpler. Thanks ... :)
dude so simple. i learned this a long time ago i used an allen key, but hadnt done it in forever and forget exactly how to do it. thanks for saving me a headache and reminding my silly self this simple trick!

I told your mom to work on her grip strength on my cock
I also am today’s year old when I learned how to take apart a Glock mag. First time was hard to squeeze, but afterwards it got easy.
Thumbs up, dude. I had the hardest time, before I saw your vid.
Got my first Glock and this video is definitely of value.
Especially after I drop a mag in the mud which, knowing me, will happen. Thanks

Thanks for the video. I had to use a pair of vise grips, set with minimal pressure and a paper towel. Worked perfect!
good vid for the newbies. i highly recommend that people do this with a glock tool or very small philips head screw driver. the leverage you gain makes it Much easier to remove the bottom.
I want to thank you from a new glock owner for your videos they are very informative and deatiled!
a great video, as you said, some of us are new to glocks and had some trouble disassembling their mags. thanks.
Yes, i'm new to Glocks, at least trying to take the magazine apart. Thank you!!

pinching the sides is a great tip, helped me out, and the camera is amazing as always
That’s was so much easier to do. Thank you for making it so much simpler.
Thanks man! You made it easy! I replaced may stock mag bases with Vickers Tactical Mag bases on my gen 4 :)
Thanks for posting. You saved me the price of a new mag! Much appreciated.
THANK YOU......I JUST GOT A G 27, AND YOUR VIDEO HELPED ME A LOT. THANX AGAIN
I am new to Glocks... worked for me. Thank you!

drjaye1962 woller out haha
I look at like this, even if you helped only one person out, the video is worth making. Great job and video Paul.
I was struggling to disassemble mine until i saw this. Thank you!
For those curious, he’s using the official Glock Tool. It really is a necessary purchase. It’s $7.50 on Amazon and makes quick work of the mags.
Very helpful. the only time I take apart the glock mag I fight for 20 min and scratched all of it. Damn it is so easy!!!
I didn’t know until I watched you video, thanks again

Glock 42 are way harder to remove the base plate. But it can be done. Good video thank you. Very helpful.
I am not new to guns, but I appreciate the work u put in. Thanks man !!!!!
THANK YOU FOR THIS !!! Now I can put my mag extension on
Thanks for the tutorial. I've been thinking about adding grip extensions to my G27 & this will help when I do.
I cant override the little teeth at the sides of my g17 mag, fingers aren't strong enough
Yeh same here, guess we are destined to play piano instead, if only i could play the piano!!!
@@snowflakecuntreeman3947 haha unfortunately I'm not talented enough to play piano either!

My car has alot of character thanks to the woods 😁
Awesome!!! used this video to guide me how to add pinky extension for my 27. Thanks!!
the best explanation in youtube so far, but a locking plier may help a lot. my finger just not strong enough to squeeze it. ..
great and easy to follow video that was much needed!!
Perfect process to disassemble the Glock magazine, I found that it is NOT necessary to "pinch" the magazine sides to release the tabs.

After I took the bottom off, I tried squeezing the clip and it has no play in it, not even the slightest. It's hard plastic so it doesn't move without cracking. The glock mag tool doesn't require sqeezing either, just press the tab away from the hole and pull apart hard.
I was able to squeeze it by hand. It wasn't easy.
Alex Povolotski Just get a oil filter wrench with south grip ends,& push the pin down while applying pressure at notches with soft grips. No problem. Even a girl knows this.
Just the info I was looking for. Thank you.
My Gen 4 mags don't have that locking tab, but these Gen3 Glock 18 mags do.
I thank you for these educational type of videos, I am a newbie in the firearm world and sure helps to know different tricks to the trade, thank-you.
Thanks a lot, I just got a g19 and couldn't get the bottom of to put a grip extension on. Big help.
AWESOME! Best demo on RUclips!
thanks for posting this video and care about us beginners and those of us (me included) who can take as much knowledge as possible from all veterans in the world of firearms. Not everyone has been around them as long as others nor knows all their ins and out, so once again I'm deeply appreciated. keep making great videos man thank you.
Thanks for taking the time to explain. 👍 I am sure it will help a lot of people.
It’s an over engineered POS IMO,
That round tab on floor plate is all you need to keep it together 🙄
Good you're supporting the new guy's!!
Took two seconds....thank you
This was helpful
Well that and a semi-broken C-Clamp, damn things do not like to give easily
