"Competitive shooters clean their mags every time they hit the ground, law enforcement ought to do the same."

Now that's funny right there, I don't care who you are. Maybe we need a Glock with a cleaning procedure like an AR. That'll make life simpler.

I have 5 hi-cap mags that I shoot every match with that have hit the ground on the order of 2,000 times each. I have never disassembled them to clean them, on rare occasion I wipe the followers sides off with a bit of Hoppes 9. Funny, but I never have any problems with them.

Is there an "integrity problem" with frequent disassembly/reassembly of Glock mags? When I take 'em apart, I just wedge the tool in front of the plate, and pry the base plate forward. Granted, I'm not doing it more than a few times with any one mag. I've encountered no integrity problems with this technique, but is there actually a use for this tool if you're taking the same mag apart 300 times?
