I ran g19’s and g22’s as duty weapons both in my time with the Army and my time as a contractor overseas, when I transitioned to civilian, I kept my g19 as my edc, but found the g48 to be a hell of a lot more easier and comfortable to conceal.

Couldnt agree more. I carry 43x daily but something just didnt feel right, so i ended up ordering a 48 zafirri precision slide today. Ever since i seen the 48 i knew id like the longer slide. Im a 19 guy forsure just not my daily carry. I feel like 48 is a good compromise
Hell, I bought the Shield mags BEFORE I bought the 43x. I was on the fence with the P365 and those mags sealed the deal. Just upgraded to the mos and looking forward to getting my swampfox red dot in the mail any day now.
S15 mags are the only reason I got the 43x over a p365. Wouldn't have bothered at 10rd, but 15 gets my attention. Put a few hundred rounds through the s15 mag this afternoon with zero issues. Also using shield arms steel mag catch.
Same! I was on the original pre-order for them and have my Gen 1s still. Bought the 43X for this reason and knew they were working on a steel 9 round mag for the G43 ages ago. Its done now. G43 holds 9+1 now.
Quite a touchy feely subject there....I know this is not a joking matter, and I know these sick fucks have a very hands on approach with their methodology, and of course because of this their methodology hits deep with a lot of people.
I carry the 48 but haven't bought the s15 yet because it doesn't make sense running a glock with an aftermarket mag. The whole reason you get a glock is so you don't have to worry so much about malfunctions.
@@MRsolidcolor the steel only mag weighs less than the glock steel + polymer mag. Its a USA made and sourced mag with a lifetime warranty. Just try it.
I wouldn’t like a 10 round mag either if I could rip through 15 rounds in about 5 seconds. In reality a 10 round mag in a pistol this slim is perfectly fine to me.

@@quintinhagues7331 Shield Arms sells the steel mag catch. I carry a 43X with Shield Arms S15 gen2 mags and steel release. No issues so far. It doesn't look as clean fit as the stock mags, but it works.
People always worry about this. Yes if it’s in constant use it will wear out but they are super cheap and it’s easy to get a metal one or a replacements they don’t wear out as fast as people like to make it seem.
After 35 years and thousands of rounds through various Glock pistols, the Glock platform is my go-to defensive carry firearm. I love firearms of many types so not a "fanboy". But for serious purposes my experience has always brought me back to one Glosck or another over the years. NEVER had a mag related malfunction with stock Glock mags. I had high hopes for the S15 mags. On paper, they sound great after all. However, after a couple of mag related malfunctions with the S15 mags I'm a HARD no-go with them. And while the capacity advantage of the Shield mags looks awesome on paper, ANY decrease in reliability of my defensive firearms is unacceptable. I paid way too much for two S15 mags that are now just paperweights. Fine for range use, but who needs expensive mags for range use?? Good for stoppage clearance drills I suppose... 🤷♀ I'd NEVER trust my life to ANY aftermarket Glock mag. Magazines are the heart of any semiautomatic firearm. Factory Glock mags are the most reliable I have ever used in any firearm in well over 45 years of shooting. In my experience, deviating from a proven design for unnecessary capacity considerations is just not worth it.
I know it's a bit late to comment on this and you may already be well aware, but apparently if you're using the 15 round mags you're supposed to swap out the mag release to the metal on they sell so that it catches better. It says on the website that the metal mags aren't meant to be used with the polymer mag release.
I love my 43x for carry and I carry an extra 20 rounder. However people complain all the time about the shield arms mags not chambering hollows properly. Never had it happen to me. Lot of hate videos on them
@@9unslin9er who says it’s one person that attacks you or breaks into your house. A video went out 3 days ago of a man getting swarmed by 5 armed men in a robbery. What about malfunctions? Capacity isn’t always about spraying rounds everywhere. I would take your comment and assume you have trained very little and have little to no knowledge of firearms.
@@9unslin9er Probably never going to unload any rounds on a person. What's your point? Doesn't hurt to have, and if you're having to deal with a drugged up individual, you may very well need 10+ rounds.
phil mckrotch I have 3 s15 mags I’ve put at least 1000 rounds no problems I think Yeager was talking about getting them dirty rolling on the ground with them and treating them like shit witch they do in his class... but come on any normal person doesn’t do that to there mags
Yup. Ive carried the G43, G48, and G43X and the 43X is the perfect gun. Feel more comfortable with it than my G17 full size at this point because i spend so much more time with it.
Aggression is a desirable characteristic in a fight to the death. That is what pistols are for. Denying your adversary the opportunity of putting lethal holes in your anatomy by putting holes in his before he can succeed. Right? Oh yeah, by the way- Jesus is the name of our Lord, and should not be used lightly. It is sacred.
@@cool4186 It's been 9 months since my comment, and since then I've learned that Shield Arms mags are NOT to be trusted. But even if they could be, 9 rounds does not equal 10 rounds.
I love when arrogant tacticool shooters talk shit about glock. You want to know why Glock stuck with their tried and true magazine design? Because it works. Reliably. I have the 48 and never had one malfunction in the first 2k+ rounds. When I finally got the shield S15 mags I started having problems. I got rid of the s15 mags and got rid of the malfunctions. Great idea, poor execution. I’ll stick with what works- 10 rounds of glock reliability.
I have a g48 with the shield arms 15 round mag and its definitely one of my carry guns. My 365 xl with 15 round mag is another. What cool shit did u do to yours taren?
PK yes but California is the heart of it.. most nuts produced in the world. Leaders in milk. Keeps me busy. And you can’t complain about the weather it’s perfect.. and being two hours from the snow or the beach is a plus too.. I hate the politics here but I’m in a line of work that’s in high demand and pays well. And being able to take my family on a decent vacation two hours either direction is a plus..
I would stick with the 15 rounders only with a metal magazine catch. My Glock 48 stock non MOS functions flawlessly with shield arms gen 2&3 magazines and metal mag catch all day in 15 round capacity. Some people are on RUclips claiming malfunctions after putting so much aftermarket stuff on the pistol.
This guy in a gun fight: “I’ll just limp wrist it, left handed, with my eyes closed”. The other guy: “Hey, what r u doing?” This guy: “Bang bang. Bang bang bang.”
Although James Yeager had a video saying in his classes the reliability of those Shield mags are NOT for personal defense. And apparently it was about all those mags that have come through his courses.
Yeager is not the final authority on all things ballistic. I know he professes to be. Beware anyone who dismisses offhand something that works(and works really well).
Yeager was commenting on the amount of failures he has witnessed in his classes. Apparently it was a consistent theme with the gen 1 mags. It’s a data point to consider
plastic is weaker than metal, so they had to make the mag walls thicker to compensate, thus fewer rounds. i'd practice with the shield 15 rounder and carry the 10 for reliability (unless you feel comfortable with the aftermarket shield that is)
I see a problem with a uncoated steel magazine rubbing against a polymer mag release. Over time this is going to wear on the polymer release and loosen the fit. I had an experience like this with a Kahr pistol. After the first shot the mag would drop out. I sent it to Kahr but they did nothing and returned it and said it was fixed which it was not.
Where other people criticise Glock I think they're smart. People have no idea what it would take for Glock to change the way they make mags. It would take a huge initial cost to change so they could mass produce. On the other hand a company like Shield Arms already held the patent for this style of mag. They were working on a Glock 43 mag when Glock released the 43x/48. When these were released Shield Arms shifted their focus to the 43x/48. The Shield Arms S15 was literally selling the 43x/48 for Glock to the point that you couldn't even find them for a while. Glock had to do nothing but produce guns the same way they always have. People always bitch about little innovation by Glock but the Glocks continue to sell. That's why they don't need to change. The aftermarket does it for them and Glock just keeps rolling in the money.
Ewwwww! Wash those precious's "protector" with alcohol after every time you put it right next to your precious!😂🤣😂😳 so it won't stink when you fire your protector!🤣😂🤣😂😎 precious protector? That's a good one!
I have been using the Gen 2 mags since they came out. Zero FTFs. I love Glocks obviously. IDPA 3 Gun Master using Glocks. I carried a Gen 3 Glock 19 for years. The 48 has taken it's place.
Did you conceal carry the 19 ? I have 43x..48...and a 19... I can't seem to convince myself that I could carry that 19 and still conceal it.. any thoughts ?
Funny people love or hate the silver slides - I only care if the gun performs well . My G48 has the silver slide the G43X the black slide cause that’s all that was available at the time when I purchased them . I conceal carry I can can bet the farm the person I hope I never have to use the firearm against isn’t gonna care at all what color my slide is .
This guys accent is totally that of a 17 year old high school blonde girl :..👧😆especially at the end when he was like “cmon Glock …like what are you thinking like you know what I’m saying..like totally “😂…
Nice on your video you were able to send them down 1 handed without a failure to feed im gonna have to figure out how i go about getting new ones because mine fail to feed when i shoot 1 handed
And they still run flawlessly, which leads them to outsell just about everything else. I see no issue here even if your statement was true. The fact is they've iteratively improved upon a nearly perfect core design to bring further functionality to a platform that is relied upon the world over while remaining cost effective and competitively priced. Haters gonna hate, but everybody chooses Glock when it's time to operate.
I don't see the problem at all run the mags see if they are reliable and if they are use them you are acting like you can't just switch back to the 10 round mags.....
My only gripe with the shield arms mags is with mine if I breathe too hard the goddamn mags fall out of the gun. I've never accidentally dropped a mag on a draw, but these s15s fall out so easily when you hit the release it makes me feel paranoid. Not enough material contacting the release. And yes I have the shield metal release.
Get the new one it's steel and adds more contact. It came out about a month ago. On the sheild arms website. I have One and it works great. And won't wear out because it's steel.
Listen Taran Tactical, just seriously listen! Try the 15 round pro mag for 43x/48. I use a 48, carry it everyday! Believe it or not, I carry the pro mag in the gun everyday now, but I still keep 2 factory 10 round factory mags at all times with me in the car. But the pro mag, I recommend well over the shield, the metal mag release is what done it for me. Not the pro mag can use the factory mag release. Just try it if you haven’t already Taran!
GLOCK magazines have a stiff metal tube encased in the proven GLOCK high-tech polymer. This prevents deformation, even when dropped from great height or exposed to extreme environments. Don’t ever diss an engineer.
It sucks buying Gen 1 mags and spending a lot of money. Then, Gen 2 comes out because Gen 1 is faulty. Now you have to spend a lot more money to buy one that works as it's supposed to. There should have been some kind of trade in deal or credit...

This guys accent is totally that of a 17 year old high school blonde girl :..👧😆especially at the end when he was like “cmon Glock …like what are you thinking like you know what I’m saying..like totally “😂…
Agreed. If they made one for a 19 it would be a 22 round flush fitting mag.
Please do a video of you shredding targets with that wicked out 43x! Would be to see it in the next movie
I agree shield arms magazines i got 3,000 rds through 3,000 rds 💯% Amazing
No wonder I couldn't find any 9mm for a solid month lol
Nice on your video you were able to send them down 1 handed without a failure to feed im gonna have to figure out how i go about getting new ones because mine fail to feed when i shoot 1 handed
Glock innovated once in the 80's, bigtime. After that, they just made variations and not much else.
And they still run flawlessly, which leads them to outsell just about everything else. I see no issue here even if your statement was true. The fact is they've iteratively improved upon a nearly perfect core design to bring further functionality to a platform that is relied upon the world over while remaining cost effective and competitively priced. Haters gonna hate, but everybody chooses Glock when it's time to operate.
If it ain't broke don't fix it
Not thrilled?
The glock 48 is *precious*
I’m saying
Florida Man Why is everyone saying this?
Imagine buying a gun known for reliability and then switching to aftermarket mags...
I don't see the problem at all run the mags see if they are reliable and if they are use them you are acting like you can't just switch back to the 10 round mags.....
Wish I could find these mags.
The limp wrist part 🤣🤣🤣
I have the 48 and love it.
Did you switch out your mag release?
And if so, can you still run the stock magazines with the shield arms mag release?
@@aaronmcbrayer1142 yes and yes u can run stock mags with aftermarket mag release.
Would like one with Ameriglo sights from factory.
Oh it is the truth
My only gripe with the shield arms mags is with mine if I breathe too hard the goddamn mags fall out of the gun. I've never accidentally dropped a mag on a draw, but these s15s fall out so easily when you hit the release it makes me feel paranoid. Not enough material contacting the release. And yes I have the shield metal release.
Get the new one it's steel and adds more contact. It came out about a month ago. On the sheild arms website. I have One and it works great. And won't wear out because it's steel.
agreed
Such a precious little gun
Good insight, thank you for your expertise!
I've never commented on your videos but I really wish I could give you 10 thumbs up just for the last 10 seconds of what you said
Listen Taran Tactical, just seriously listen! Try the 15 round pro mag for 43x/48. I use a 48, carry it everyday! Believe it or not, I carry the pro mag in the gun everyday now, but I still keep 2 factory 10 round factory mags at all times with me in the car. But the pro mag, I recommend well over the shield, the metal mag release is what done it for me. Not the pro mag can use the factory mag release. Just try it if you haven’t already Taran!
Lol, can hear the enthusiasm when you're talking about the Glock mag, omg
Please God....make the future Glock 50....a 50 cal!!!!!!!!
Lmaooo it’s crazy cause the glock 45 is 9mm
And the g22 isn’t a .22lr, its .40s&w
But there is a glock .50 but its not in 50AE its in 50 GI which sucks

@@carlitosantana2859 patent numbers. For example the glock 19 was the 19th patent by glock
GLOCK magazines have a stiff metal tube encased in the proven GLOCK high-tech polymer. This prevents deformation, even when dropped from great height or exposed to extreme environments.
Don’t ever diss an engineer.
New afro looks good
I wished Glock would get rid of the STUPID plastic coating on all of their magazines.
Incredibly reliable mags as they stand.
Don’t wanna change something that’s worked for decades.
G48 with SA S15, my edc!
Followed by my p365X and my g26!!!
But would you trust an aftermarket magazine in a life-threatening situation?
43X is badass
I wish the mags were ever in stock
Get in on the backorder and wait. I just got mine yesterday. Waited about 8 weeks.
@@trifivegarage8683 did u just get 1?
Dude is an excellent shot!
It sucks buying Gen 1 mags and spending a lot of money. Then, Gen 2 comes out because Gen 1 is faulty. Now you have to spend a lot more money to buy one that works as it's supposed to. There should have been some kind of trade in deal or credit...
Maybe Glock is thinking light weight conceal carry for emergencies
Sights? Who needs sights! I'm Taran!
Good to know. Appreciate the video.
Precious AF
you should do more gun reviews like Hickok45, great video and amazing shooting
Precious
Dude, Taran from the hip. A zoned them all. Haha , hes better not even trying to than me all in.
This man shot out so fast casually
Taran looks like a cleaned up version of Ron Jeremy
If they'd ever make some more
Sounds like I need to look at them for new G17, 19 and 20 mags. If they can add five to each with a flush mag that runs I'll be pretty stoked.
There only for the 43x and 48.. They do make a s9 now for the reg 43
Nice Range‼️
Looks amazing
Odd, that I haven't 'subscribed' before. Done!
I fukn love the 48 w/ shield mags. I ditched my last 19, sold to a friend.
