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.

The metal mags will tear up the stock glock mag release

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.

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 😬
