    Question about magazines

    What manufacturers sell magazines that are easy to disassemble into all of its components for the sake of cleaning? I'm thinking of some common brands like Glock, S&W, and sig, .i.e. , guns on the California handgun roster that are available in the 9mm. I'd also like to know if you have any specific information regarding the possibility of disassembly for magazines that are of the 10/20 and 10/30 versions too if you happened to know that.

    Glock OEM are easy if you have the mag. disassembly tool.

    Are you asking about non-OEM versions as well?

    Edit:

    I just looked at the Mec-Gar mags for my CZ 75 SP-01.
    They look similar to the Glocks with a push button release, but I have not disassembled them yet (too new).

        Yeah for the non-OEM mags too, but only the ones that are absolutely reliable. Like go bang every time

          sig mags are easy by using punch or pen to push in the floor insert.

          10/30 like hexmag for ar15? if it is, easy too with your finger, pen or anything you can use to push the insert in.

            Yeah, that same principle but for pistol magazines.

              Thankfully I don't have any mags that go bang at any time, much less every time.

                  springfield xd mags are easy to take apart, I have 10s and 16s

                  10/20 and 10/30? are you trying to rebuild an illegal AR mag? lol

                    Glock magazine's are difficult with only a common punch, because of the extra side tabs. Someone had to invent a tool, just to make disassembling it easier.

                    1911 magazine with the welded bottom are not quick, but easy.

                    Other than those, most of the on-roster are pretty much the same. Punch the base plate and base pad slides out easily.

                    I don't think one is magazine more reliable than another. From single vs double stack, follower and spring tension, not sure we can say one magazine is more reliable than another as they are gun specific. If I had to jab at one, there was probably a bad batch of Glock 9mm followers at one point, as that comes up here and there.

                        Not a word about magazine reliability, just about magazine cleaning. Oh well. Maybe the OP is a Butler.

                          You've never had any ProMags for any gun, have you?

                            Correct, I know better not to waste my money on them . Great example, right there. I was pretty much only talking about on-roster factory magazines.
