If you’ve ever preordered magazines for multiple pistols you don’t even own, it might be September 14, 2004.Originally Posted by Tensaw
If you've ever pre-ordered magazines for a pistol you don't even own.... you might be a member at Pistol-Forum....
I might have come home with a 48 today, but they were out of stock.
Man I hope these prove to reliable. Pretty skeptical but went and ordered 2 anyway. I should know better than to be a beta tester but sometime just want to get lucky. If these work, they likely will be in strong demand for a while and doubtful they can keep up with production early on.
Very interested in hearing how the comped 43x runs!
I will start a whole thread on it once I have some more comparative data. So far I've only had the time to run Gabe's standards and The Test uncomped for baseline. I am going to add some F.A.S.T. times and maybe a few other metrics. I hope to have some range time in a few days to run the Agency Arms comp and then the Griffin Armament one. Once I have some real data and put my thoughts together as to why and what gains there are to be had it should make for some interesting conversation.

If these work I'm getting a 48 or a 43X. Not sure what I'd do with my 19's after that though. In either case I'm still hoping Glock makes a G43 with a wider grip.
Not the Shield arms, but there have been several successful experiments with double stack mags in the G48 on Arfcom, which bodes well for the Shield mags. At a minimum, it shows that the G48 can accept a true double stack metal magazine.

This is a 15rd mag made from the steel liner of a G17 mag:

Anxious to see reviews on these while I wait for the railed 43X to come to the US

When I first saw that preorder was open yesterday I resisted the impulse purchase, figured I’d wait to see how well they work. I made it until the late evening before I had preordered the 3 magazine/mag release bundle for my 43x. The 43x/48/365 guns are being called game changers, a reliable 15 rounder in those guns turns the game on it’s head!
