You're going to feel a little pressure... |
Why should using their mag catch with these magaobe mandatory? Has someone seen a problem or is it just theoretical? If it's a question of the metal mags tearing up the plastic mag catch, wouldn't I rather replace a worn mag catch than replace a worn out frame due to an aftermarket metal mag catch eating my plastic frame? I would rather change a $5 mag catch, when it shows wear. I have never worn one out, with Glock mags, but consider them a wear item and carry one in my spares kit. I am not being argumentative, just trying to make a good choice. Does anyone have any experiences to share? Bruce "The designer of the gun had clearly not been instructed to beat about the bush. 'Make it evil,' he'd been told. 'Make it totally clear that this gun has a right end and a wrong end. Make it totally clear to anyone standing at the wrong end that things are going badly for them. If that means sticking all sort of spikes and prongs and blackened bits all over it then so be it. This is not a gun for hanging over the fireplace or sticking in the umbrella stand, it is a gun for going out and making people miserable with." -Douglas Adams “It is just as difficult and dangerous to try to free a people that wants to remain servile as it is to try to enslave a people that wants to remain free." -Niccolo Machiavelli The trouble with fighting for human freedom is that one spends most of one's time defending scoundrels. For it is against scoundrels that oppressive laws are first aimed, and oppression must be stopped at the beginning if it is to be stopped at all. -Mencken | |||

We’re up to 600 rounds between three mags and two 43X guns. One with aluminum mag catch and one with oem plastic. No issues observed yet. I haven’t noticed any issues with my oem polymer magazines and aluminum mag catch. Just keep an eye on both if doing high volume shooting. I don’t think it will be an issue for the way most people carry and rarely shoot. Now that I’m done testing, my 43X will be carried often and shot occasionally. Not minority enough! | |||

I submitted my email address for a back in stock notification on 1/31 and got an email 2/7 showing back in stock so I ordered a couple. Looking forward to trying them out. ETA Aside from holding more rounds, these make the gun slightly more comfortable for me. The gun was not uncomfortable before but I did notice the rear right corner of the stock floorplate kind of pokes my right hand whereas the Shield mags have a more comfortable radius..at least for me. Never paid any mind to it until I tried the Shield mags. If they perform well I’ll get more without a doubt.This message has been edited. Last edited by: Bob RI, | |||

I got six of these mags finally. Took three of them to the range today, fired 500 rds through them equally, so ~165 rounds each. Used an aluminum mag catch from Tyrant designs. Used handloaded 124gr +P FMJ, 124gr JHP Golddots, and 147gr subsonics. No issues, no failures, no probs with slide lock on empty, no probs dropping empties freely. Great mags, and will start carrying it soon. "You have the right not to be killed..." The Clash, "Know Your Rights" | |||

That is my spot. |
Thank you Agony. I am hoping this holds true for all the others they produce so I can get them and carry them! I am a big feller and transitioning to the 48 soon. 5 more rounds is exciting. ***************** Those who would give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety. - Ben Franklin | |||

I got 1 from the original pre-order, 1 from Brownells, and 4 from Agency Arms. I have two more coming this week direct from Shield Arms. They say they are dropping another batch next week. If you're on social media I suggest you join the private group Shield Wall on facebook which is run by Shield Arms. The owner/employees are very kind and receptive and will give a head's up when the next shipment is ready for ordering. "You have the right not to be killed..." The Clash, "Know Your Rights" | |||

Put another 180 rounds through the mags today, added a 4th mag to the rotation. Ran all 124gr +P FMJ. I had one failure to slide lock on empty, but otherwise No issues whatsoever. The 48 is a great shooting gun, wish it had a rail for a light though. The Tyrant extended mag release works fine, but I may find another option as it's too extended for me. I prefer the feel of the OEM glock extended mag release. I have an Overwatch Precision flat face trigger incoming for this gun, then will run another 400-500 rounds before I consider carrying it. Will have to make some kydex for it then. One little nit-pick, Uplula needs to make a size-specific speedloader for this SA mags. The universal works okay but takes more deliberation compared to loading oem 19/17 mags. ![]() "You have the right not to be killed..." The Clash, "Know Your Rights" | |||

I was just handling a 43x and thinking damn this thing is thing is a hell of a lot of firepower in a really small package with those shield arms mags. "Guns are tools. The only weapon ever created was man." | |||
