The photos of the micro slick mags on PSA’s webpage do not represent what they actually look like.
I don’t feel there is much difference between the two types. The all black ones actually feel slicker to me that the silver ones. On one of the new silver mags, it was a bitch to load the first few times and I had failure to feed on the 9th round on the first two times I loaded it. If I recall correctly, that was the point it was very sticky loading. I am still currently testing them right now but after those first two loads of that one particular mag, it has been fine since. I now have 100 rounds of federal 115 through that specific mag with no additional issues and it loads and shoots fine now. That mag is marked and will never be trusted. 100 rounds through another silver mag today with zero issues.

IIRC multiple people have had the same failure on when the mags were brand new and have had no issues since. I’m up to about 500 rounds now without issues after the first mags worth of rounds. I think it’s a break in issue due to how tight the mag springs are when new. |

I'll be on the lookout during some range time. Thanks for adding to this to confirm that these magazines need to be broken in first. |

Yeah I left mine loaded for about 24 hrs before use, but from what I understand of spring metallurgy (which I admit is very little) spring cycles matter more than time at a set point. Mine have been great after the first use, and I can definitely tell they are easier to load than when they are new. |

The slide didn’t go far enough to the rear to push the case head out of the mag. Generally happened around 7-9 round in mag fully loaded to 15. In my particular situation I think it was lighter recoil impulse with WWB ammo as my reloaded 115 grain. FMJ were gtg. Leaving my PSA Mags loaded helped them. |

Spring cycles are what kill magazines. Mine (3 nickel) came in this week. I have been cycling the mags. Loading and unloading by hand. Gonna go shoot them in 1 hour. Each had a little bit of plastic slag inside when I opened them up. Not much, just a little amount right near the right side mag catch. Cleaned them out with a AP brush.
My shield mags after upgrading the springs have 10 coils, they used to have nine coils. The PSA mags have 13 coils. They were a little hard to load at first. Now they seem to load with zero hang ups. I'll know soon.  Attached File |

Same magazine had one more failure of the same kind after an additional 50 rounds on round 6.
Put 100 more through the problem mag without issue. The other 2 silver were flawless and the three black as well. |

All three mags ran great. Last mag of the day, mag 3 failed to lock the slide back when it went empty. Beyond that zero issues. I'm pretty impressed with PSA micro mags. Will run another 150 rds tomorrow.

Definitely a spring and breaking in issue and not an ammunition issue at play here.

I'm on the wait list with PSA on both variants of these little gems. But, I'm going to put a WTB ad up here on the forums. I'm not looking to hoard, would just love to have 1 to try. I can wait for PSA to ramp up for more.
Really glad to see most all are having great reliability with these. If anyone reading this wants to part with one, IM me. I'm yur Huckleberry!  Thanks, Mack |

The few issues seen have been with brand new mags, and after a break in period run pretty flawlessly from every report I’ve seen. This also matches my experience.

Regardless, what is the point of your post other than trolling/derailing this thread? This is for reviews of the PSA thread.

Quote HistoryQuoted: Most of this thread seems to be excuses for why they're not working. And the people that had issues with S15s, are going to have the same issue with these. Because just like the S15, this places the round too far back. The people whose guns worked with S15s, will probably work with micro daggers too, once they're broken in that is. @naes commented in the shield mag thread that his S15 mags wouldn’t run but per this thread has had no issues with the PSA mags except for one break in FTF that seems to be common when mags are new and goes away with use. What you are saying simply isn’t true. The people who report issues with the shield mags have consistent issues regardless of round count. That hasn’t been the case in this thread. You aren’t contributing anything positive to this thread, and are either shilling for Shield arms or trolling. |

If two years from now people still can’t get the PSA mags to run in a significant number of guns, then maybe these are the same. If these run well in most guns with a couple bobbles in the first 50 rounds that then go away, that’s a distinct improvement over the Shield mags. Time will tell. |

You aren’t contributing anything positive to this thread, and are either shilling for Shield arms or trolling. This is very accurate. I have a G48 that will not run shield mags at all. Constant failures. Those same mags work fine in one of my 43X. Short of one PSA mag break in issue, I have 7 of these mags running flawless in three guns. I put another 250 rounds through the PSA mags yesterday without issue. I hit the mag that failed with the most of those rounds. No issues. These are superior to Shield in my opinion. My only complaint is the stupid logo being what holds them together that makes them more difficult to take apart. |

I should add that I think the Shield mags are great IF you happen to get a mix of gun and mag combo that actually run.
I have first hand experience with them not being compatible with all guns. I was never confident enough in the combo that even worked to carry these. Where the PSA shines is that they actually work in every gun I have tried them in. So for me they just work. I’m considering putting these into actual carry use. |

I seem to be having the opposite experience of some of you malfunction wise. I got two of the slick magazines last week. They both loaded easily by hand to 15 but a loader does help as the feed lips are quite sharp. They both ran great for 130 rounds and then started getting the failures to feed that everybody else is showing in their pictures. Rather than do a tap rack bang I was able to slightly pull back the slide and let it go and it would go into battery. Had two in the same mag and then one more on that range trip for about 150 rounds of magtech 115 and 124 ball and my USPSA 147 reloads. Happened with all ammo. Went home and cleaned the gun and took apart mags and saw several pieces of plastic "flash" on inside of both mags. Cut out as much as I could and went back to the range the next day. 1st mag stopped right away so I just set that one aside and ran the next one for 50 trouble free rounds as that is all I brought with. (thought I brought more)
So out of about 200 rounds over two days I had four failures. Not sure what to think at this point. I hate wasting ammo like this. I might take the one that ran for 50 rounds the second day to a USPSA match tonight if I can make it and see what happens. For what it's worth I have one of the gen 2 Shield mags that does not work with this gun, either. That is a sample of one mag but hearing all the stories I only bought one Shield mag to try. This is a stock G43x lower and for the three weeks or so I have been using a PSA upper on it with the Glock barrel and recoil spring, with zero problems, and factory mags. |

Appropriately lubricated? When I had my one hiccup, early on the gun was dry and dirty. Probably didn’t help matters. I’d be curious to see if you switched to the OEM slide and still had issues. I’m also really curious as to why PSA hasn’t released their own lowers yet. Either they are having issues getting everything to run or are having legal/patent issues with Glock. |

Clean and lubed gun both times. I too thought about trying the stock slide to see what happens but suspect will have the same issues. Or, perhaps I do just need to run more rounds through them as others on here have with some success but for now I have a feeling these will be set aside for the time being. Perhaps PSA is aware of the few that are having issues. |

Got my 2 Slick finish ones today. Seem well made. No issues after 80rds each of FMJ. I'm going to run some carry loads thru tomorrow hopefully no issues. The Shield mags would run FMJ all day but would FTF at least once a mag on several different carry loads.

Just saw this on Reddit, wondering what folks here are noticing
Baseplate bulge when loaded I find most that post on Reddit hysterical. But this one is intriguing.. |

I left four of mine loaded over the weekend but didn't see it. Since the biggest issue with Shield Mags are under springing them I'd imagine PSA overspsrung them which I'd be fine with. |

Yeah, they're probably stiff as a bitch when new, but should ease up after some use. Thanks for sharing. |

How far back do the PSA mags hold the cartridge compared to OEM mags? The reliability issues that many experienced with Shield Arms mags is largely attributed to the fact that they hold the rounds much further back in the gun. Just wondering how these compare.

I took my 2 Slick finish ones out last night and put another 90 rds thru of FMJ I'm on about 85rds per mag. I then ran some IMI JHP that Midway sells put 50 rds of that with no issues. Finally I tried some of the carry ammo I am currently using 135+p Critical Duty. I ran about 60 rds total with no issues. I feel confident enough to carry them when I pack the 43x. I need about 2-3 more and I'll be set. PSA has a winner again.

I shot my 6 new PSA mags yesterday. Only one failure to feed. The round that didn't feed was Sarsilmatz and the QC is pretty iffy on those. They fed and fired everything that was in them, from 147 HST to reloads to the afore mentioned Sarsilmatz. The cartridge was NOT picked up by the slide in that case (short recoil). Happy with my purchase!

Post on Reddit showed them back in stock, by the time I had them in my cart at PSA all looked good. Until I got to payment, then the system puked me out. Back out of stock.
And what's really funny after trying to get either / or variant, I got emails from PSA that both were back in stock.. Waits patiently.. |

You get emails announcing that parts were in stock but went out of stock before they ever sent the email. |

I'm in no rush for these, they'll eventually ramp up. I've got an OEM Glock 10rnd mag with a Tyrant CNC +4 basepad getting delivered today. Not exactly a CC option, but gives me another mag with added rounds. Plus it looks cool as can be with their magwell.. Oh SNAP! My post count is at 2112! RUSH!!!
