BACKGROUND
The Glock Operator's Tool, referred to throughout as the armorer tool, is designed for, but is not limited to, Glock pistols. The armorer tool is designed for, but not limited to, applications in firearm maintenance, assembly and disassembly of firearms, and all associated applications relating to the functioning of firearms and their various accessories and components. Prior tools designed to function in the above noted areas of application lack both the combination of each configured feature all combined on the armorer tool and specific configured elements unique to this tool.
Current iterations of firearm armorer tools require one to require one to use different tools to achieve the same function of the armorer tool or they lack the function of the armorer tool features entirely. Some current iterations of armorer tools may help to disassemble a firearm magazine but lack a punch to remove frame pins or vice versa. The armorer's tool also has features, such as the channel that secures the firing pin for assembly and disassembly, that are unique to the armorer's tool. The armorer's tool is a combination of unique function, such as the magazine base plate removal feature and the hollow channel for securing the firing pin mechanism, with existing generic design such as the straight punch protrusion.
SUMMARY
In general terms, this disclosure is directed to an armorer tool for the assembly, disassembly, maintenance, and cleaning of various firearms, to include all Glock pistols, but not to be limited to such.
In one aspect, a method for disassembly, and assembly, of the firing pin mechanism whereby the firing pin and spring are secured on the armorer tool's spring assist channel
In another aspect, a method for disassembly of firearm magazines whereby the magazine plate is secured, and released, by an edge and elongate member of the armorer tool.
In yet another aspect, a method whereby the back strap, on the hand grip of a firearm, is removed by an edged member on the armorer tool.
In yet another aspect, the edged members of the armorer tool reach various areas of the firearm to assist in cleaning and general maintenance of function.
In another aspect, a method whereby an elongate member, attached to the body of the tool located and referred to as the ‘front portion’, assists in removing and manipulating various firearm parts.

Additionally, any examples set forth in this specification are not intended to be limiting and merely set forth some of the many possible embodiments for the appended claims.
FIG. 1. is a top, right side, perspective view of an example armorer tool, showing an overall length of 4.68 inches, the front portion 1 comprising a straight length of material protruding from the body 3.
FIG. 2 is a top, right side, perspective view of an example armorer tool, showing claim numbers enumerated: an elongate member comprising a front portion 1, a rear portion 2, and a main body portion 3 between the front portion 1, and the rear portion 2. The front portion 1 comprising a straight length of material protruding from the body 3 configured to manipulate firearm components mentioned above, but not limited to such The rear portion 2 comprising at least two protrusions 4, extending beyond the surface, configured to secure the base plate of a firearm magazine, and at least one protrusion 5 configured to assist in firearm cleaning. The body 3 consisting of at least two protrusions 6 protruding beyond the profile of the body 3 portion, and opposing each protrusion on the rear portion configured to secure magazine base plates, configured to fit into the detent of a firearm magazine, at least one hollowed portion 7 that indents into the surface of the body, containing at least one cut out 8 on the lip surface of the hollowed indent 7 configured to secure elements of the firing pin assembly, and containing at least three semi-circle, indented, hollowed edges 9 configured to secure the edges of the firing pin spring. At least one protrusion 10, extending beyond the surface of the body closest to the front portion, designed to both manipulate the interchangeable back-straps, and assist in cleaning, but not limited to such functions, all of which is disposed on the body portion at locations configured to be aligned with the elements noted.
FIG. 3 is a bottom, right side, perspective view of an example armorer tool, showing claim numbers enumerated, with emphasis on claims: The front portion 1 comprising a straight length of material, a rear portion 2 comprising at least two protrusions 4, at least one protrusion 5 configured to assist in firearm cleaning, two protrusions 6 protruding beyond the profile of the body portion, and opposing each protrusion 4 on the rear portion configured to secure magazine base plates, configured to fit into the detent of a firearm magazine, one protrusion 10, extending beyond the surface of the body closest to the front portion, designed to both manipulate the interchangeable back-straps, and assist in cleaning.
FIG. 4 is a top, front, right side, close-up perspective view of an example armorer tool, showing claim numbers enumerated, with emphasis an claims: one hollowed portion 7 that indents into the surface of the body, containing at least one cut out 8 on the lip surface of the hollowed indent 7 configured to secure elements of the firing pin assembly, and containing at least three semi-circle, indented, hollowed edges 9 configured to secure the edges of the firing pin spring. At least one protrusion 10, extending beyond the surface of the body closest to the front portion, designed to both manipulate the interchangeable back-straps, and assist in cleaning.
FIG. 5 is a top, rear, left side, close-up perspective view of an example armorer tool, showing claim numbers enumerated, with emphasis on claims: the rear portion 2 comprising at least two protrusions 4, extending beyond the surface, configured to secure the base plate of a firearm magazine, and at least one protrusion 5 configured to assist in firearm cleaning, one of two protrusions 6 protruding beyond the profile of the body portion, and opposing each protrusion 4 on the rear portion configured to secure magazine base plates, configured to fit into the detent of a firearm magazine.
