Weeks. Ordered 3 of the standard black mags and the steel catch on the 7th. Had them early last week or the end of the previous week. Hold on, found my pack slip: Ordered on the 8th, shipped on the 19th.
I have not shot the gun yet, or loaded the mags. But did run into an issue where the followers were putting the slide stop in a bind, and they wouldn't drop free. Checked the factory mags, and those had plenty of clearance. Took a square carbide bit on the dremel and shaved/cut the little notch half a millimeter towards the barrel centerline, and then they dropped. Also, small issue where the left side of the mag towards the top/front, is hitting, was hitting a "shelf" on the frame, under the slide stop. The mag was chewing up the frame, since it isn't beveled in that spot like the factory mags. I cut a small divot with a new x-acto blade, so it would have a "ramp" to help with mag insertion. Eventually, it could canoe enough of the frame's plastic where it would/could maybe contact the bottom of the slide stop. The left front, top corner of the mag, where the notch is and where the follower is most visible, really needs a bevel to it. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Mine was exactly 2 weeks less than a month ago This is about the same for me, but I did order some more, and they have gone silent. I will look back at my emails and see what the dates are ETA: I ordered the first two along with a metal mag catch on December 19 and IIFC the package arrived about two weeks later, maybe a little longer. I ordered 3 more on January 17, they charged my CC within an hour of the order and I have not heard anything since I am glad I read this post, as I forgot about the order...I am going to email them and find out what is going on Thanks |

Will look into this Thanks, Bronc I have a question, for those follwoing this thread.... Looking in the EE someone has two SA mags for $165 shipped....why? I just dont get it. SA is clearly keeping up, people are getting mags in about two weeks. I know you can ask what ever you want, but what in the world is the seller thinkng at these prices? |

I agree with you that it’s nuts to pay double just to have it faster. I can’t judge though, I got 6 mags and 2 releases last summer off armslist for $225 locally. |

I solved this problem by ordering the mags the same day I ordered the gun. I'm using up the mag back order time by having the gun get shipped to my FFL, then by sending off the 43x slide for RMR milling. The mags should be here by the time the rest of the gun is ready to shoot.

I also have 14 of the OEM Glock mags. I am still looking for a Glock 48. When I get the 48, will make a nice set up: G43X, G48, 20 mags total.....now I need 9 mil ammo |

@77bronc I’m looking to do 4 SA mags and 6 oem for my 48 mos. Should be plenty since it’d cost the equivalent of another g48 to fill them.

Is this a recent development? This is on the shield arms website btw.. Only single block oxide mags available I finally took the plunge and ordered 5 and a steel catch. If they prove reliable I'd definitely grab more. We'll see I'm hoping out of the box reliability without switching springs and followers and I'll probably order a few OEM catches as well until I decide to run them full time. Aside from all that I'll report back when they arrive and get the lead time posted. |

My mags are being held in MT too but they were less than a week to ship. I'm hoping to get these by Saturday so I can test them out but it is what it is. I'm debating ordering a bunch of the Brownells springs but I'd like to test these first 5 out before I place another backorder or replacement parts if they run.

I recieved my backorder super fast. Installed the mag catch and going to put a couple hundred rounds through the 5 I got, to see if I want to place another order.
Funny thing is they don't feel like black oxide at all they have the slicker feel and I wonder if I got the other more expensive ones instead? |
