Frequently Asked Questions

How does the M.D.T. Magazine Disassembly Tool work?

The M.D.T. uses a post and lever system. You insert the post into the base plate hole, place your thumb on top, and crank down. This leverage makes popping the base plate off effortless compared to traditional methods.

Why is it important to disassemble Glock magazines?

Magazines need disassembly for installing extensions, changing base plate colors, or cleaning. Dirt and grit can accumulate inside, affecting the follower's smoothness and overall reliability, especially after use in dusty environments.

What Glock magazines is the M.D.T. compatible with?

The M.D.T. works on all standard Glock factory magazines, including subcompact models like the G42, G43, G26, and G27. It may not work on some aftermarket extended base plates without the necessary leverage points.

What safety precautions should be taken when disassembling a Glock magazine?

Always wear safety glasses because the magazine spring is under tension and can fly out during disassembly. Ensure the firearm is unloaded and the magazine is removed before starting.
