Quote History Quoted:Interesting. I've had my mags out to the range only once, and while they all fed the rounds just fine I had the slide not lock back a few times. I attributed it to me since - and I'm embarrassed to admit this - I haven't been shooting in months since before this whole covid mess started. I figured my grip was slipping due to sweat and fatigued and I was just riding the slide lock. It only happened twice during the session (quicky shooting each mag fully loaded twice).
I'll keep an eye on them now. I'm actually fine with the OEM mag (I bought 2 one to keep stock and the other to mod
). The 43X carries a lot easier than the G26.

They had a niche area they could make a product to fit. I don't see it translating anywhere else for them.
Especially since they are still having issues with the mags locking slides back on last round and using a known shit mag producer.

Quite a few people in the original thread were commenting about the slide not lock back issue. Shield fixed it by sending updated springs, but even in later batches were still having the springs that were known issues in the mags, causing later adopters to still have to get the correct springs to make it work better.
Not my idea of a quality mag to replace the OEM, when they know there's a flaw, and the fix, and haven't addressed it at the manufacturing level. This is merely my opinion, and I am excited to get some if they ever get the kinks worked out and make a mag that is as trustworthy as OEM.
For what amounts to a range only mag, I'll stick to OEM. Cheaper, and I know they work.
ETA: The fact you also HAVE to change the OEM mag release, is another design issue that irks me. I'm not opposed to a metal mag release, easy enough to switch, but I still am bothered by that.
