Tango Down Magazine Release Tool for Glock, Stainless Steel, Polished Tip Glock pistols are famous for being simple to maintain. One punch tool is all it takes to detail strip most of the pistol, except for the magazine catch. To remove the magazine release you have to reach deep inside the frame and lift the magazine catch spring out of its notch, and for years most shooters and armorers did that with a long, thin screwdriver. The Tango Down Magazine Release Tool for Glock, part number GMRT-01, solves that problem. Its specially formed hooked tip is shaped to release the magazine catch spring with maximum bite and leverage, so you can swap a mag catch in minutes without fighting the spring or digging at the frame. The right tool for removing and installing a Glock magazine catch. Why Not Use a Screwdriver? A screwdriver blade is hard and sharp. When it slips while you are prying on the magazine catch spring, it gouges the inside of the magazine well and the magazine release itself. Those burrs and gouges can keep empty magazines from falling free when you hit the release, which is exactly what you do not want on a defensive or competition pistol. Damaged magazine catches are another common result. Polished Stainless Steel Tip Tango Down made the tip of the GMRT-01 from highly polished stainless steel and rounded it so it is gentle on the pistol. It is designed so it will not damage the magazine well or the magazine release. The hook is formed to seat on the magazine catch spring and give you strong, controlled leverage to lift it out of the notch in the catch, so the catch slides out of the frame. No tool is perfectly scratch-proof inside a polymer frame, so work slowly, use good light, and let the hook do the work instead of forcing it. Ergonomic Stainless Steel Handle The ergonomic handle is also stainless steel, so the entire tool resists corrosion and gives long service on an armorer bench or in a range bag. The handle fills your hand and gives you the control needed for repeated installs, whether you are setting up a single pistol or swapping parts on a whole rack of duty guns. The tool is made in Germany. What It Works On The GMRT-01 is built for Glock pistols and works on any pistol that uses a Glock-style magazine release, such as the Smith and Wesson M&P. Typical jobs include installing an extended magazine release, reversing a Gen4 or Gen5 reversible magazine catch for a left-handed shooter, replacing a worn catch, and detailed cleaning.

Who Should Own One This is the tool for gunsmiths, department armorers and shooters who do several magazine release installations in one sitting, as well as anyone who details their own pistols as part of regular maintenance. It saves time, it saves frustration, and it helps keep the magazine well in like-new condition. If you are not sure how to perform the work, have a qualified armorer do it for you.
