Glock Magazines

[Donkeypunch0420]

I was taking my magazine for the first time, as I got the base-plate off, I forgot to catch the floor plate and spring ( I know, very newbie move). I had no problem finding the spring, but the floor plate is no where to be found. I put the magazine back together, minus the floor plate. It seems to function fine, but I am curious if the floor plate is that important? Should I spend many hours looking for the floor plate? Or will the magazine function fine without it? Thank you all in advance.

The floor plate should be in there. You can order a replacement from a number of online vendors. Here's one:http://glockparts.com/ They're only like 4 bucks or so.

Yes you need the floor plate.

It serves multiple purposes

Oh boy, sounds like I'm in for a treat! Another quick question then, I have a G23 mag I no longer use, can I use that floor plate for my G19 mag that is floor plateless? Thanks again guys.

i just did the exact same thing to my g27 mag. im quite pissed right about now. my spring didnt leave the mag but my floor plate is nowhere to be found. it was there but it shot off so fast i dont have a clue which direction it went.

so would it hurt it any to shoot without the floorplate? would it have failures to feed or anything?

Clean up your work area!

that would be of help if my work area werent already clean!! i was working in the garage where it could have shot up top into the rafters, under the treadmill, on a shelf, this is just a big area and i lost a small part

Honestly I have no first hand experience, but I would definetily say no.
