G48 / G43X game changing 15 round magazine?

[phylodog]

Ran all 9 of mine today without issue. Extremely pleased with the mags and kind of wondering how many rounds they could fit into a Glock 19 magazine for my model 45.

I’ll be getting my mags and release today in the mail thanks to this thread. Now if I could only find a 43x. No way I’m going to the gun store with all this madness. I’m sure the lines are long. Be safe everyone.

Well darn, didn't realize capacity was foolish.

Only foolish when you put capacity before marksmanship.

Only foolish when you put capacity before marksmanship.

Who did that? Or is it simply impossible that another human being on the planet might have a clue?

I'll tell you what's foolish, claiming after "six or so rounds you're out of the fight". I get it, you like to play games with guns and for God's sake I hope you''re good enough to at least halfway justify your arrogance. Walking out the door with 7 or 8 rounds when you have an opportunity to carry much more without giving up performance is foolish. Thinking you're immune to all of the physiological effects human beings suffer when put into a life and death situation is foolish. Being so convinced that you are so far above everyone else that you can't even consider for a moment that there is obviously still plenty for you to learn is foolish.

Search my posts, you'll find I've been here for a long time and have consistently stated time and time again that shot placement is everything. Handguns suck for stopping people, arguing about calibers is like bickering about Ford vs Chevrolet only half as useful and three times more pointless.

It's almost to the point that your arrogance pisses someone off in every thread you post in. Must really be something wrong with all the members here.

I really have to say I am weary of all this crap. Not saying it was you or him or even them but holy crap guys.

TJ, do you think you could come the hell down off that high place you see yourself in and just post with some respect. That would be so ****ing nice because I am getting tired of your attitude. You are not all that OK. Nobody is.

Fellas can you just ignore his pompous self. Just ignore him if it makes you that mad please.

I really do not want to send any one to the corner but after VUPD's post the other night and now mine this will be the last one....

And another decent thread runs off the rails...

I’ve been tempted to order a couple of the 15 round mags even though I don’t have a G43X yet. I know that one is coming and having the mags in hand will speed its approach.

 

[phylodog]

You won't regret it, they're worth the unreasonably high price.

 

[maxipum]

They have turned my 43x into my edc. So far they are 100% reliable. About 400 rounds through mine with no stoppages whatsoever.

 

[Vigilant]

The real question is, are they worth the lack of marksmanship you must have to purchase them?

We have not had any problems with ours in the 48. My son who is 11 shoots the 48 when shooting IDPA. I didn't want him to have to deal with a "Barney mag" so I bought these. Great mags and a great pistol. -Jason

Are you folks also changing out your mag catch for the Shield Arms metal one? Or another metal one?

 

[Areoflyer09]

I swapped for the Shield Arms. Made for a simple order.

Same here.

I can’t trust mine. Had a catastrophic FTF and some of the mags aren’t dropping free. I appear to be in the minority.

See, this is the thing that gives me pause. I'm not in any way part of the whole "perfection" hooey since there's no such thing, but I've been in automotive for too many years and EVERY time I see aftermarket parts I cringe, given what I see them do.

Granted, OEM stuff fails too, but OEM has the benefit of being designed by the same people who designed the whole deal in the first place, not retro-engineered after the fact.

Love the idea of 15 rounds in the platform, but if I want a 15 round gun I buy a 15 round gun, or at least buy one that's designed by the OEM to accept larger capacity mags they produce.

Most times. Had too many failures in CM series Kahrs with factory "extended" mags to fully trust longer mags in shorter guns that allow a mag to be leveraged out of normal alignment for feeding.
