I put another 200rds through some Shield mags with my G48 today. Small sample size but no issues. I've been eyeballing either a Johnny Glock or Tactical Pontoon trigger assembly for it too.

I have two PSA dagger mags for my 48, probably just cuz I was bored. Had one FTF with on and the other ran fine with about 50 rounds. The reality is I will never trust them and got them to play with. A 10 rounder and a spare is fine with me.
I absolutely love my Glock 48 though.

I usually carry 11 in the gun and a 10 spare in the pocket. But, like I’ve said, I like the fact I can scale. I can carry 11 in the gun with a 15 round spare or straight 15s.

Yeah I “feel” fine with 21 rounds on tap. I have no illusions that you can plan for an incident as there are too many variables and it’s really just risk mitigation and “you pays your monies and takes your chances” so to speak but as a fairly low speed, high drag dude who tends to frequent fairly low crime areas I “feel” like I can cover most of the “bell curve” with 10+1 and a reload.
Please note that in no way is this a statement of “You only need X rounds” or “why would you carry X rounds/mags” etc. It is simply that my own personal risk analysis (even though I do tend to carry a higher capacity firearm) is that I am comfortable with 11 rounds in a gun big enough for me to shoot well. Please gentle readers don’t run and say some guy on the SIGforum said we should only have 10 round mags.

My two dagger mags had lots of flashing on the inside. Once I cleaned them up they loaded and fed much better. The base plates with the PSA logo when fully loaded, appear very bowed compared to base plates from other pistols. I'm going to switch back to the Glock 10 rounders, as I think the overall mag is going to be lighter.

The Glock 43x fits nicely into the summertime EDC rotation. I have a dozen PSA Mags that have functioned great with a few thousand rounds down range for the bunch but stick with the OEM for carry. Here is a good video for those interested in Mag Modification.
