    All three have cracked at the base of the U at the back and the worst one has also cracked on one of the lips. Still works but nothing I trust for carry.

    They have promised to replace them under warranty so i await the next shipment here with my replacement parts.
    I have never heard of this issue. Wow! Gen1 or gen2 mags?

    Gen1 mags

    I've seen it on a few others already. And a lot of clever industry people when I mentioned it said "oh yeah gen1 mags, that happens"

    Apparently it was. Just not by Glock. 😁

    Please post a pic of the cracks? I’ve inspected my four mags and not seeing anything but it would be helpful to see what I’m looking for. Thanks

    I was just shooting this evening with a guy who has a 43X I think with the steel mag button. He kept ejecting the mag by accident.

    I picked up a couple of Gen 2 mags to try out a few months ago. Neither of them would lock into place when I attempted to seat the magazine. I have an OEM mag release. A buddy of mine has the Shield Arms release, and has Gen 1 mags. My mags wouldn't lock into his gun either. Shield Arms sent me replacements saying mine were from a 'bad batch'. The replacements wouldn't seat either. I took them back to my local gun store and exchanged them for more OEM mags. I'm just going to stick with OEM mags from here on out.

    I have six of the gen1 magazines. They all work just fine in both of my G48s with the Shield steel mag catch.
