The present invention teaches about a separable magazine follower situated into a magazine body. The magazine follower includes a magazine follower body and exchangeable magazine follower plate. The upper surface of the plate tooth can engage a slide stop lever tooth after the last round is fired from the magazine, and moves a slide stop lever in position that holds a slide in the rear position. The magazine follower plate can be exchanged by the new one after being depleted. The magazine follower plate is not permanently secured to the magazine follower body, but it is nested into the magazine follower body and secured via a magazine spring. The magazine follower plate is formed from material of lower hardness than the material used for slide stop lever tooth in order to prevent its excessive wearing.
