    Haven’t seen one in person yet. Looking at the specs, it’s a single stack g19. For those that have a 48/43x and 19, how’s the difference between the grips feel?

    The G48 grip feels much smaller than a G19. Works great for short fingers.

    I plan to keep an eye on how those mags do, then I will be in the market for a 43x. So far i have seen a few video reviews, and the mags appear to work well. time will tell.

    I have shot mine about 300 rounds and very pleased. Trigger has a small amt of slack then good positive break. No malfunctions shooting all sorts of factory and reloads. jim

    With Preventative Maintenance it should be good for about another 99,700 rounds.

    Shield Arms magazines for the Glock 43x & Glock 48

    They’re here!

    The much anticipated S15 magazines have come & gone, they are out of stock, with no more pre-orders.

    James on TFB got some of these and did a small test, 250 rounds. So far 100% reliable! I saw the video last night, waiting to see more tests on these.

    15 +1 flush fit, for a Glock 43x or 48 is awesome! I am sure they will also have the +5 base plate for them as well if you want the max capacity.

    they initially said they were coming out with a magazine for the Glock 43 after these are well into production, no mention of a round count on these. A 9 or 10 round flush fit would be great.

    Can’t wait to see how it all plays out. :):cool:

    Went to sportsman today and got my hands on a 43x, mc1, 365, and a few other handguns. The 365 still feels too small, in the trigger reach dimension. The mc1 was blah, the 43x was a great fit, so I plan to pick up one soon.

    Also put the honor defense honor guard next to a shield 9mm. Looks like a blatant copy, with a terrible trigger, and it was 80 bucks more than the shield! What a joke.

    Played with a few cimarron 45lc saa clones. Engraving was cool, but the white plastic grips reminded me of a toilet seat, and the trigger still had the mold Mark's on one side. Build quality was lower than the saa clone I have, a blackhawk in 30 carbine. 750 bucks was a bit steep...

    Tried a m&p 2.0, trigger was much better than the last m&p I tried. Not saying much, but it was useable stock.
