Universal Pistol Limiter Instructions
Our Patented Universal Pistol Limiter is adaptable to most double stack pistol magazines. The limiter does require some fitting and cutting of the plastic block. This requires the use of a cutting tool such a hacksaw or flush cutting snips. Once the final desired configuration is found the limiter should be glued together with a drop of super glue or Magblock cement. The limiter can be used as a replacement for the floorplate locking plate in some magazines or used with the original magazine locking plate.
