If Glock would make a 43 that accepted 43x/48 magazines life would be easy.

Glock should just license out the Shield S15 mags for these, improve them if needed, and I'd be ecstatic.

My 48 is a tad more snappy than my 43X, and I attribute this to a slightly heavier slide combined with the 43x's recoil spring. An imprecise, subjective comment is that the way it feels ain't quite right. If I were really serious about going armed, I would select a 26 or 43X over the 48. Mine belongs to my wife who uses it as a home defense pistol.
This. They are RAPIDLY gaining market share compared to everyone else due to their D2C model and rapid innovation.
The downside to this is that sometimes stuff isn't fully ready when it comes to market historically, however given who they've been pulling into their team in the last two years... they are going to become a major contender. I have ~3000 rds through my Dagger Compact with no issues outside of the trigger pin walking, but I fixed that pretty readily.
That being said, I LOVE my G48MOS and I plan to get another one to carry and use the one I have as a trainer. I'm up to 4300rds (logged), 500rds of Speer GDHP, and the rest PSA 124gr ball. It is a machine. I've noticed that it's happiest with a 1000-1500rd interval on the RSA, which is fine for me considering the advantages it has for carry and handling.
I don't know why I would ever want to buy a 365 with the PSA mags coming to market honestly. The 365 grip is super wonky for me and the handling is awkward. But that may just be my hands.

Very interesting! What symptoms does your 48 exhibit that's leading you to that short of an RSA change interval?
I'm at a shade over 3,000 documented rounds on my non-MOS 48 with a direct milled EPS carry. Mine has been a superbly reliable gun without any of the gremlins like inconsistent ejection/ brass to face, or unusual grip sensitivity when it comes to ejection and feeding. I was planning on just doing an RSA change like I've always done with my 9mm Glocks at 5,000, so I'm curious about this.
