    Old style: Slide floorplate forward, taking care to not let the spring launch.New style: Push in the round insert in the center of the floorplate. Slide floorplate forward, being careful of the spring.Floorplates fit TIGHT and are often hard to push forward. Sometimes, I have LIGHTLY tapped on the rear corners with a plastic mallet.

    Nunn is definetly right on the tight part.I have great difficulty removing the floorplate off my magazines as well. I don't tap though, I just use brute force.

    Removal is as nunn says about the new style except that the newest style has a locking tab on each side of the magazine body that engages the floorplate. Simply, take an xacto knife and cut each tab flush with the magazine body. Removal is then as nunn says.

    Wrap the magazine body with a rag and squeeze the sides together in a vise until the little tabs on either side clear the notches in the floor plate. Pliers work too. If you don't squeeze it you'll never get it apart.

    The vise grips that look like big C-shaped pincers (how's that for a proper tool name) worked well on my new style (have button) G22 mags. The pressure needed was light, and they didn't mar the plastic. It's god's own private mystery how Glock can claim you just push the button in and slide the floorplate off.

    From the Glock Armorer course. Take a pin punch. Hold the mag upside down with the hole farthest away from you. Push punch deep into mag, about 1 1/2 inches. This will push the "floor plate follower" into the mag and upset it. Then use the punch still in the mag to lever the floor plate off. Takes about 2 seconds.

    when I got my G26, the guy at the gun shop put the shearer finger extensions on the two mags, and he levered it off as GHS said. No vice, no pliers...just used the glock tool to lever the floor plate off.I guess there is about three ways to do it huh
