I found that video while google searching if anyone else felt the upper being wrong for the lower (Mr Ryan turned out to be an interesting find).
I’ll just stick with the 43 until Glock figures out an oem higher capacity flush fit for the G48. oem seems more litigation friendly. The vehicles have the 17 with plenty of oem 33 rounders. If 6+1+6 doesn’t get me back to the car.... |

I wonder if Polymer80 could build a frame that accepts G43 slides and P365 mags.

So I'm just now realizing after a P&S post that 48/43X magazines hold 11.

I won't try it because I'm certain it would cause malfunctions even if I could manage to get the mag seated.. From an open slide, the mag is swelled enough to make insertion fairly stiff. The mag does lock in and the 11th rd chambers reliably though. Kinda nice since you don't have to chamber a rd and then top off the mag for carry. |

The whole point of the exercise is that by making a metal magazine, the walls are thinner so the magazine can be higher capacity. How would yet another plastic magazine make it different? Quote HistoryQuoted:

Because the Glock mags are steel lined with
a thick polymer cover? The ETS mags hold 7 rounds in the same distance that the OEM 43 mags hold 6. Magpul & ETS obviously have significant talent in their engineering departments, so I have no doubt that if they are willing to make a 48 mag, it will be a great improvement over the 10 round OEMs. Quote HistoryQuoted:

ETS tweaked the guts, not wall thickness to get 7 rounds. The G43 mag already has enough room for about 3/4 of an extra round. ETS just tweaked it enough to get that extra .25 in there. |

I fully believe Magpul will get a OEM-tier Glock magazine with another revision or two. |

I have had no issues with the ETS mags I have,
but I will admit I haven't shot them very much. Just tested them each a few times. I have a few 12 rounders for the 43, some 33 rnds for the 9mm's, and a couple of the 22 rnds .40. John |

Just received the following from Shield arms.
S15 - Glock 43X / Glock 48 Compatible Magazine
After the folding lower, we will be launching the Standard 15 (S15) magazine. Yes it's real, and yes it's really coming. In case you missed it, the S15 is a flush-fitting 15 round magazine for the Glock 43X and Glock 48. The magazine is currently at tooling, and we are still on track for a summer release. Very soon we will be announcing a promo to get in on the first batch of S15 magazines. Demand will certainly be higher than supply when these first launch, so you'll want to jump on this promo as soon as it launches. Stay tuned! |

A 15 round mag for this gun will be revolutionary if reliable. On the light rail, we really need some manufacturer to come out with a standard subcompact light rail. As technology improves, super bright durable duty lights are going to get smaller, just like guns are getting smaller.

Glockstore has an 80% G43 frame already, they should concentrate on the 43X/48 size IMO. A rail shouldn't be that big of a problem other than it would need custom holsters. The Walther PPS had a Pic size rail section. Quote HistoryQuoted:
