Hello, I have a Gen5 Glock 48 MOS and it's my daily.  I remember awhile back waiting for PSA to release their mags (before they came out) and I ended up ordering the Shield mags w/ the shield metal catch.  I was hesistant because of the reputation of the shield arms mags but mine have been great and cycle rounds with no issues.

Well my buddy came over today and he has a 43x and was showing me his factory Glock 15 rd mags that were recently released.  I guess I have been out of the loop.

The mags didnt work with my 48 though, and Im fairly confident it was because of the metal shield arms mag catch I have installed.

Do I need to put the stock/factory mag catch back in, or is there a different aftermarket mag catch I can use with these factory glock mags?  I dont even know if I have the oem mag catch anymore.

Also, where do you all suggest I purhase these glock mags from?  Glockstore looks like out of stock.

Thanks

Put the factory OEM back in.

As to where to buy, get them whoever has them in stock. Be prepared to look at different retailers, they are constantly going out of stock.

Yes, the metal mags are incompatible with the metal mag catch.  Glock metions it in their ad.
