DPM Systems Technologies Ltd. is a firearm accessories manufacturer from Athens, Greece. They are mainly specialized in making recoil reduction systems for rifles and pistols. They also manufacture Glock replacement magazine floorplate, which has an integral carbide tip working as a glass breaker.

It is a drop-in accessory and simply replaces the factory floorplate. DPM Systems floorplates are made of polymer or aluminum and come in two different sizes. One size fits 9mm, .40S&W and .357 SIG chambered Glock magazines, and the other size fits .45ACP magazines. The aluminum version is offered only in black color, but the polymer one comes in four color options: black, desert tan, OD green and yellow.

Here is a video from manufacturer’s YouTube channel showing how the glass breaker works:

The US division (DPM Systems USA) of the manufacturer has only the polymer version of these floorplates listed. Regardless of size and color, they are priced at $34. The original Greek website has the aluminum version at €38, which is roughly equal to $40.5.

Using these floorplates as a glass breaker looks to be relatively intuitive and convenient. However, I guess tapping the magazine to seat it in place and at the same time having this floorplate installed can be a pretty painful experience for your palm.

      @Goody You could just pick up a multitool instead. Some models have both knives and carbide-tipped glass breakers, as well as the usual assortment of tools. Or even just a small laser pointer so you don't have to point out small details by physically touching them with a tool.

    Obtain spring-loaded center punch, high-visibility cord, and heat-shrink tubing sized appropriately to center punch.

    Use tubing to secure loop of cord, length of your preference, to center punch. Hang center punch from car headrest, battle bag, whatever, along with seatbelt cutter.
