Luckily I have a g43x that runs on both but its still in the back of my mind that they might not work and that sucks. I was planning on selling my 43x but this has me doubting that. |

Familiarity and prolonged exposure without incident leads to a loss of appreciation of risk.

I just bought some parts for my 43x but held off on buying an FDE model after gen6 was announced Mine runs great on shield mags but for EDC a OEM upgrade would be great |

I'll take that bet. No fucking way Mec-Gar makes OEM Glock mags, EVER. |

Perhaps that's not a photo of the actual item. The website does say, "This product photo and the item specification details on this page may not accurately represent the complete detail of the item being purchased.". |

If you scroll down they show a 15rd Promag mag that fits the 43x/48. If that it what they are including then the PSA mag looks way better than a Promag option. Ok I should have looked at the OP link for the Glock 15 rd 43x/48. Does look like a steel liner and just a shade longer in length. That Promag options looks like doodoo. |

I can’t stand it to think my life is going so fast and I’m not really living it.

MecGar managed to Squeeze an extra round in, but they also changed to their hollow follower that the spring nests in. Glock mags are a little fat due to the polymer, but they’re very space efficient inside. The slimline models on the other hand were very inefficient. You could remove the liner out of a G19 mag and it would fit inside the magwell of a 43x. Hence the Shield mags. |

I am not seeing steel liner, or ProMag, looks like a Magpul if anything Attached File |
