15 Round Mag - Glock 43X / Glock 48

You guys swapping out your mag catches to aluminum? I just read their recommendation.

I went ahead and grabbed one. Saw a review where the plastic one was showing some wear after awhile. Plus, I have an aluminum one from Hyve on my 19 and I like the way they feel.

Guess their email alerts don’t really work huh? :(

I got the alert at about 1230, but I follow them on Instagram so I was on the site at 1000 and just kept refreshing the page till they were in stock.
 
The good news is if I buy a bunch accessories then I may not be able to impulse buy a new rifle or something this weekend so it’s all good. :D
 
Ordered the metal mag catch as well. I should've ordered a bunch and just sold em to all you slow pokes.

I did get two...i can spare one if anyone really wants one. Only $100...lol...i keed i keed.

There was a 2 per person limit on them.
 
Those guys are quick. Got a tracking number right after I ordered and it’s supposed to arrive Monday. I had also heard that early gen 48/43X’s May have issues locking back and need plus power springs so I contacted them about it. Quick response time.

My magazine came in today, can't wait to try it out. Seems to seat in perfectly. I read people struggled loading it, but I hand loaded it just fine.

same here, just got done putting in the mag release and playing around with the mag a little. First impressions are pretty good, seems to drop free just fine and locks back my slide hand cycling it. Plan to get to the range this weekend and run some rounds through it.
 
Crazy, i ordered mine around the same time and i just got an email with shipping info. Muat be i was bumped to the end of the line...or they will mysteriously arrive before the shipping label says. Weird

Same here. I placed my ordered at 1024 Friday and got my shipping notice today. Still not bad turn around
 
I’m on the alert list for the 3 pack and mag release so it may be a bit. Oh well, off to a gun store this weekend since I’ll have that extra $125 or so floating around.
 
Patriot Shooting Sports in Wake Forest had the mag catch and the 15 round mags listed on their social media page.
 
Mine will be here Friday but I have since changed my mind about getting a 43X. So it's up for grabs. (Claimed)

Just got done at the range with mine. Put 15 rounds of my carry ammo (147 HST) and 200 rounds of ball through it. No issues at all, locked back after last round every time. Would have put a lot more ammo through it but Walmart doesn’t carry pistol ammo any more and Dicks didn’t have any 9mm at all so I was forced to buy expensive range ammo.

Well, I think I’m gonna go ahead and load this up with my carry ammo and stick it in my carry gun. Just got back from the range putting another 300 rounds through it and this thing performs great. It’s not even that difficult to load by hand as I’ve heard some reviews state. Got to the range and realized I forgot my damn uplula loader so I had to jam this by hand and it wasn’t a problem at all.

So far I have 515 rounds through this single mag. I’ve shot 15 rounds of 147gr HST, 200 rounds of 147gr Speer ball, and 300 rounds of 115gr Max Tech ball. Here she is, fresh from the range.

I put another 100 or so through mine yesterday, they ran fine. They kind of lock into place with more heft than the other mags but I don't know if it's the mag catch or the fact that there are 15 rounds in it. It's almost an auditory and felt Click on mine... but they work great.
 
Mags are out of stock. So is kit. These guys suck. Couldn’t get on there after 8, but was at least hoping to get the email alert I signed up for.

@Derek8404 has better customer service than Shield Arms. :D

haha, you got to be quick with them they usually sell out in about an hr. And yes, they email notification sucks, I didn’t get it till about midnight....luckily I had already ordered ;) I’m probably set for awhile now, but I’ll keep you guys up to date when they go back in stock.
 
Oh and these guys offer a pretty nice service discount, 15%. So if anyone is MIL/LE/EMS just email them from a work email account and they will hook you up.
 
I'm starting to see a 48 in my future...

I fondled one and it felt good. But the 43x is a little smaller and can hold the same amount of ammo. So for what I wanted then43x made more sense. I’ve got a CZ PCR and P01 so the 48 had a little too much overlap with those. Just slimmer. I could see a place for the 48 if I wasn’t so wedded to my compact CZ’s.
