I don’t know, that’s my assumption.  New Glock Steel 15 Round G43X Magazine Review |

I preordered 2 of the mags from GS in March and they were delivered today. I have a G48 MOS I bought early 2025 and they both lock back and drop free in my 48. They also don’t extend much beyond my Rapid Engineering Magwell and look good in the gun. I’m going to try to run some rounds through them tomorrow if I can make the time to do so. |

Swapped out to the factory release and it seems to be working fine as far as the Kydex magazine pouches. You should just be able to adjust retention a tiny bit and they should work fine. Wish I had caught up on this thread earlier  My backordered mags just came in yesterday and I tried to test fit 1 this morning and locked it up, pretty tough time removing the mag but I got it back out  Sucks that they wont work with my Shield mag release, was hoping to use them all in the same gun without swapping parts. Kinda bummed about that |
| Yeah I sold off all my Shild Arms mags and mag catch becuse I knew I was gonna go with the Glock 15 factory mags as soon as they came out. I think I only had 7 so not a lot. I'll be able to get 5 Glock magazine for the money I made on the sell. 3 were still in the packaging. |

Kinda bummed about that In armorer recent a couple weeks ago they mentioned it multiple times that if people use the Shield Arms metal mag releases the new mags will very likely lock into the frame and be an absolute mofo to get out. I figured since they mentioned it many times it was a big issue lol. |

Undecided if I want to do that since mine have been g2g but I will probably just swap the mag release and use the 3 new Glock mags to test them. I have other carry options I can use until I test these a bit.

I shot 60 rounds through my 2 mags yesterday just to confirm they work. They ran without issue. The mags are slightly too big for my Tenicor spare mag carrier that worked fine with a 10 round mag. I used a heat gun to soften it up and reformed it around the new mag and it’s fine now. |

One of them is a little stiff to get the last round in. |

Shot 200 flawless rounds through all 4 mags this morning. All mags lock back and drop free. Extremely happy, will probably start carrying this pistol more with the increased capacity. Attached File |

Doesn't mean that much to me to mean that much to you.

My new three (3) OEM Glock 43X 15rd magazines arrived today from Midway. All mags insert and drop easily (slide open or closed) from my purchased new 43X in 07/2020. Mag springs are tight. Glad I have a Uplula magazine loader for my 66yr old arthritic hands. I'm guessing my range session will probably be boring since it's a Glock..... Ok, where do you find magazine carriers (single or double)? Or recommendations. Thanks!

| Got my 2 magazines today. My 43x mos is a 2021 model and the magazines don't drop free. They don't totally hang up but they do drag a bit. I'll get out and shoot them and report back 👍🏾 |

Traded into another 43x this week and will be starting to test the new mags in this gun Had a chance to shoot a full mag through my 3 and as expected no issues Still debating whether I will switch my original 43x over or keep using the Shields. Resisting temptation to pick up cheap SA mags from the EE
