Perfect. Thanks. Looking at the JMCK Hi Ride AIWB for an S15 with +5 baseplate. Woot.

Yes. Mine does. Although I use a MagLULA almost exclusively.

Anyone have a no-bullshit guide for removing the mag catches? I’m having an incredibly difficult time trying to take off my OEM one with a small flatnose screwdriver

While it is obviously not necessary, the tool Tango Down sells is worth it to me.

Second that. Especially since I'm apparently developing arthritis in my right thumb at the carpometacarpal joint.

Got my mags in, its easier to stuff 15 into the shield mag and load it into a 43x with one in the chamber, than it is to use the stock glock mag...

Obviously need to wring these mags out but cautiously optimistic.

I too was failing at getting the spring out of the mag catch on the 43X. Problem was getting behind the spring to pop it out of the slot after pushing it to the starboard side of the pistol. Screwdriver kept slipping off the spring. Dental pick was too flimsy.

Threw the screwdriver on a grinder and tried to put a 90 degree cut out on the screwdriver. Didn’t quite get that (grinding wheel too fat), but this worked on the first try. I was able to get the “hook” part created by the cut out in between the frame and spring. Hope this helps.

Good use for a Wall of China Tools (Harbor Freight) screwdriver - I have quite a few I’ve modified for specific hobby tasks. Great idea!
