It is important to keeping your Glock firearm in perfect working order and clean. This includes the magazine. Here is how to clean your Glock magazine.
You should always point the weapon in a safe direction when unloading it and never assume that it is unloaded. You should make absolutely sure that the weapon is unloaded by removing the magazine from the weapon and moving the slide back. Remove the weapon from the area where you are working.

After putting on your safety goggles, you should have the floor plate facing upward by turning the magazine upside down. Insert the Glock armorer's tool or a punch into the hole while pushing the tab into the magazine and down.
On both sides of the magazine there will be locking tabs. Grab and apply some pressure to these tabs using your finger and thumb, while pulling forward on the armorer's tool or punch. You need to be very careful when you slide the floor plate off because there is a plate that is being pushed by a spring beneath the floor plate. To prevent the spring from flying out of the magazine, keep your other thumb over the opening.
