I just ordered 4 S15 mags and a black steel magazine catch from their site. Now comes the wait...

Nope, I would’ve bought one if I happened across one. But I’ll save up for a G48 MOS instead.

This explains it...

I have heard it is okay to use plastic Glock OEM magazines with the Shield Arms steel mag catch. However, my guess is that the steel catch will eventually scratch up the plastic mags. Ultimately, when plastic is rubbing with steel, the steel will always win.

I thought I had the Sig-ness but apparently Glocks are easier and cheaper for me to acquire.

It’s the opioids they bake into the polymer. As the polymer out gasses you get just enough of a high to make you want to buy “just one more”.

That’s my story and since it removes all personal responsibility from me I am sticking to it.

My new 43x...

The light/laser looks to be a TLR-6 made by Streamlight.

Thank you Sir...

I think I'm going to end up with either a 20 or a 21 this year and a 19.

I can use a conversion barrel in a 21 to shoot 10mm, correct? Can a 20 be converted to .45 ACP?

I just installed an Apex Tactical Action Enhancement Kit Trigger Bar & Connector in my 43x and it’s amazing. It’s pricy at $100 bucks but I will install these Apex triggers in all of my Glocks from now on. They are so much nicer than the stock triggers IMHO.

Just received an e-mail that my magazines have shipped (the mailing label has been created). My guess is early next week.

Good news for me too then. I ordered 4 of their mags and their steel mag catch on 1/25.

My 4 Shield Arms mags and steel mag catch just shipped out today.

I still love the versatility and overall excellence of my gen 3 G26, along with my Sig P365 which has prevented me from buying any of the newer Glocks. If I’m missing something, I don’t know it.

A slightly smaller gun than your Glock 26 G3 with the ability to hold 15 rounds with these Shield Arms mags...

How long did they take after you place the order? Ordered 3 mags and steel mag catch Feb. 2nd.

I placed my order on January 25th and they shipped today. Not bad at all. I can’t believe people are paying resellers $60 to $70 per mag for these, since they are on backorder.

But what would I do with all my double stack magazines, many of which hold more than fifteen rounds?

Well Para will be tickled .... I just mailed a check to a fellow member for a Glock.

I'm not a fan of them... I really don't have serious reasons other than I'm not a fan of striker fired systems as well as the way Glocks look... but here is why I made the plunge:

For years I carried in my work vehicle both a Ruger P89 and Ruger PC9 carbine... they both not only shot the same caliber ammo but took the same magazines.... some would call it silly but from an 'old west' stand point this seems the most practical system for if serious trouble occurred. I recently decided to upgrade my caliber to 357 Sig and the 'rifle' options in this are not only limited but for some weird reason beyond my comprehension the only choices I found only took Glock magazines.... my new 'truck rifle' is from TNW firearms out of Oregon.... it is actually a pistol with 10.5" barrel and brace... I still need a actual handgun to match it and so have purchased a Glock 32 from a fellow member here...
