Have not attempted repair of a magazine bottom, but I have successfully repaired a left grip with the following method:

First use a cotton Q-Tip and clean the broken surfaces with acetone. Allow to dry and repeat. Allow to dry overnight. (ONLY APPLY ACETONE, A HIGHLY VOLATILE LIQUID, OUTDOORS IN GOOD WEATHER.) Then apply a VERY thin coat of 2-part epoxy and hold under pressure until the epoxy sets.

If done carefully the crack will not be visible except under a strong magnifier.
