Glock 42 Magazine extension (instalation tools)

[Forge]

Just came into ownership of a Glock 42 and that grip is tiny! Ive never installed a magazine extension. But if Im going to keep the 42, I need to. There are several different magazine disassembly tools though and some look very different. Recommendation?

I don't remember using a special tool to disassemble the magazines; just used a small Phillips-head screwdriver to push in the button. A small punch would work too.

I tried that, using the standard glock tool to push the spring button down. Turns out though that there are these little gripprs on two sides. So, I have to squeeze the factory mag, push the button, and try to slide the plate. I ended up mangling the push button hole and the spring is now stuck inside. Maybe the design changed?

Anyhow, thanks for the reply though.

No idea on if the designed changed, so I will have to leave that to others. Good luck.

Not sure of any design change but like countrygent said a Philip head screw driver should do it best you can check on YouTube for how it done

I had to pry the sides off, kinda messed them up but they were getting replaced anyway
