Ha, it actually fell only about six inches from my hand to my desk. The clip popped off, but the follower stayed in the mag body, so I only had the clip and the shells to go looking for. I tried the plier compression drill, but it's met with mixed success thus far.
In any case, I'll probably throw the clip in some vise grips and compress it a little bit, and see how that works. I'm going to be buying acouple 10-rounders soon, so this won't be my only mag. Thanks for the suggestions and tips, all, and for keeping such an awesome forum up and going.
