Abstract
A magazine for a semiautomatic handgun is provided which includes a butt plate being slidably secured to the bottom thereof by side walls having slots which engage flanges on the lower edge of the magazine tube. A floor plate which serves as a seat for the magazine spring has a tang disposed on its leading edge which interfits with a slot disposed on the forward edge of the magazine tube and which serves to secure the leading edge therein. The floor plate also includes a lug which is biased by the magazine spring to interfit with a hole in the butt plate to prevent the butt plate from being slidably removed from the magazine tube.
