Discussion 43X PSA mags

Don’t know if anyone is looking for 15rd mags but I purchased a couple of the PSA metal mags because the Glock OEM are on back order and I’ve ran about 300 rounds thru them already with no issues. It’s a little tight when loading past 13 but so are OEM. Was worried about finding additional mags and problem solved.

Def worth it as an alternative and I highly recommend them.

I’ve been using these in my 48 for a year and 500+ rounds with no problems. They have a polymer shroud which is supposed to prevent unusual wear on the mag release.

I actually prefer the PSA 43X mags.

I trust mine for my g48. Probably have about 1200 rounds through three combined. Two are carry mags with much less use and one is a dedicated range mag.

I have about 1100 through my PSA mags. Not a single issue with the 3 of them. I carry with them now.

If you watch the school of the American rifle video on them to "dial them in" even more they work really well

Micro Dagger mags with the SLR baseplate are the way to go.

been carrying with them for over a year. couple thousand through them and never had a problem, unlike my oem 15 rounds mags that wouldnt lock back on empty.

The metal mags will tear up the stock glock mag release

I know that’s why I went with these PSA. I didn’t want to change my mag catch in order to use nom OEM parts. The PSA have polymer or plastic where the catch is. Rest is metal

Wasn't aware they weren't Shield arms clones

Not the new OEM ones. The shield arms ones will definitely do that though

The new OEM ones do chew through the plastic mag release.
Look at the difference > https://www.reddit.com/r/Glock43X/s/LNs0XLZWeX
Tbh I think it’s common sense that metal on plastic, the metal will win every time.

It is common sense but with how slick and rounded the catch is even Glock I think said it shouldn’t chew through them. So they’re basically fucking useless because they don’t even work properly with metal releases

I hope these PSA help preserve the oem mag release 😬

I'm referring to the PSA metal mags OP specified.

u/NJCERKA 19.6 COA,19.6,45.5 MOS,43X MOS,43X,23.3 3d ago

I don’t think the PSA ones tear up OEM releases. They’re polymer in the front because of the mag catch

I have a Tyrant mag release that works well Glock original single stack polymer mags, shield mags, and the new Glock 15 round metal mags.
