I couldn't find any info online, but it seems the baseplates on these OE 12rd mags are "permanently" fixed to the base of the mag?

Is there a trick or vid or link that explains how to disassemble these factory 12 rounders? I tried the usual technique for flat baseplate Glock mags, but that didn't work. Doesn't want to budge, and I don't want to ruin the magazines trying.

(I like to clean the internals of my mags from time to time and I don't know if it's possible with these.)

Any help or info is greatly appreciated.
Thanks and cheers.

They are a royal pain to get off!! I bent a Glock armorers took taking a bunch off. But they do come off and I did not damage any mags in the process.

I have a lot of different mag tools for evaluation and none of them fit the extended mags so the traditional “thumbs down” method with a punch still works best.

They are the same as all other Glock mags.

No, there is definitely something different with these.

I tried to push a punch into the hole where the "insert" seats, but it didn't even seem like the insert wanted to budge? Maybe I'll just have to try with more force, but it appears the pinky side of the baseplate has two small "pinch/stipple" marks like they ”poly welded" the baseplate to the body?

All my other Glock mags the insert pushes in with ease, and then slight squeeze on the side tabs and pry the baseplate forward with a punch and no issue.

Guess I'll try again, but these are definitely not as easy as "regular" Glock mags.

Thanks for your responses.

Maybe you're not familiar with the 12rd G26 mags, but as far as I know, the insert on these isn't flat, like a regular Glock mag, where it can be pushed in and ”flipped” perpendicular to it's seated position. The insert is L shaped and as my prior post stated, the insert doesn't seem to budge when I try to insert a punch into the hole. Even with zero pressure on the side tabs.

The insert is of a different design on the plus 2 extensions.

You have to press it farther down into the mag.

Just get the magpul 12 round mags and thank me later. I think they are better than the OEM mags.

I would have, shorter and less expensive, but I've read from various sources that the Magpul mags have spotty reliability in the Gen 5 pistols. Some reported no issue, but others have had issues with them. Don't know if current production still do?

I have 4 mags and the 2 inserts I tried to compress didn't want to budge. Maybe I didn't apply enough "break it" pressure? Suppose I'll try again. Thx.

Based on insert design, with it's two slots on the sides, I might have to push them into the mag at an angle to get them to unseat from the baseplate. I'll try again when I get home.

Not the size/shape that matters, it's the technique. Should be the same technique. I don't have one right now to test, but will bet you 2 pennies that it works. Push that tool all the way in.

Get some Magpul 12 rounders. Easy to maintain.

Just for future reference... I found the easiest way is putting a small c-clamp to squeeze the side tabs a little bit and then with a little leverage/force pushing the rear edge of the baseplate against the edge of a hard countertop until the baseplate pops free of the tabs.

Then reassemble by using insert to compress the spring while sliding the baseplate back on. Zero damage and all 4 mags came apart easy enough.

Thanks for everyone's help. Cheers!
