Default Shield Arms 15rd Glock 43x/48 mags

Does anyone have the new Shield Arms 15rd mags for the 43x/48? They've supposedly shipped out 3 waves of them already. I've been on the list for a couple of months but haven't been able to order any yet. The reviews from the people who do have them seem promising. I'm still going to put a few hundreds rounds through the mags before I start using them for off duty.

They've supposedly shipped 3 waves of them, and the 4th wave should be shipping late this week or next week.

Military Arms Channel just did a good review on them

They are never even gonna make it to the selves, things are sold as soon as they come off the assembly line. I’d love to get some for my 48, but it will probably be awhile.

Is everyone planning on upgrading thier mag catches or just gonna roll with the stock plastic.

My coworker got one and reports it was reliable with ball ammo and the Winchester SXT 9mm +p+ (RA9TA) in his limited testing.

I’ll probably upgrade. I want to buy their 3 pack with the steel mag catch for $115. You save like $30 or something with this bundle.

The day after I retire, I am no longer a good guy and could not buy any of these magazines.

I put close to 1000rds through the 4 I have and the were flawless. Make sure you swap out the mag release for the steel one though.

I'm wanting to get a couple of the +5 extensions too, but can't find them

I have two of them and their mag release, all received two weeks ago. So far I’ve shot 300+ rounds of Ranger-T 147gr, Winchester white box 115gr, and other ball 115gr rounds without a single issue through my 43x. Ordered two more when they went back in stock today.

The mag I bought I got from Brownells.

Just a coincidence I was on Shields website on the 15th... Saw they had mags and mag releases in stock. Ordered both and got them on the 19th.

Installed the mag release yesterday. So now I have two mags and the proper mag release...

They’re on back order again. I ordered three yesterday and the mag release which is also on back order (website says 1-2 weeks.) Unfortunately they no longer have the three mag + plus mag release offer.
