Glock 43X/48 15 rd mags

[Steelharp]

Supposed to be available soon, MSRP $39.99. Steel aftermarket mag.

Dimensionally they have to be the same size as polymer.

Certainly more rugged, but haven't read about many Glock mag fails.

[hipower]

I believe I might have to have a couple. lol

[deerslayer]

Game changer if it's reliable. 

[Steelharp]

Set my Ruger SR9c next to a 43X at the shop. Practically identical in size. And with the 15 rd Security 9 mag in it with the sleeve I had adjusted to fill the gap, I'm already there.

@Steelharp I miss the sr9c I bought from a buddy because he needed the funds. I agreed he could buy it back thinking he never would. Took about a year, but he came up with the money.

I miss the SR9c sometimes. I really didn't get attached to it much. I thought it a bit awkward and heavy for my little mitts.

I had 2 at different times, and we just didn't mesh. I sold my last one to Musicman several years ago. BTW, is he still around?

Mine, with the 15rd mag and shaved down mag sleeve. About half the width of its' original 17rd size.

43X and SR9c, with my 15rd mag in it.

Nice comparison. Thanks for showing this.

I do have to admit that in the physical appearance department, the SR9c does win out.

The Ruger SR9c is discontinued, so what's the point ? the Glock 43, 43X and 48 and Sig 365, 365XL are in current production.

The S&W Model 1905 stopped being made in 1942 and I am still buying them. The SR9c is out there reasonable on the used market. In lots of cases slightly cheaper than the other ones mentioned. Gotta have options.

Just because they are in current production, doesn't necessarily make them a better option.  There are lots of older firearms that are just as good and certainly cheaper on the budget.

Ruger has to be the most puzzling firearms company going, though.  Seems like they make a semi Auto for five or so years and then drop it from production, regardless of the success (the LCP seemingly being the lone exception). The model mentioned above is a good case in point.  The LC9s is another great example.  And why do they continue to sale pistols with only one mag?  That drives me crazy!

This comes to successful fruition, I'm gonna be seriously looking at a 43X...

If these mags come out and do right my p365 is as good as gone!! I loved my g43 but hated the low round count. I will be picking up a 43x or 48 soon! 

[deerslayer]

My 48 is the best carry gun I have ever owned.  If these mags run, it will be that much better.

Okay, I was out of town and I see I missed the pre-order window, but I'll keep an eye on the website.

Nice. Almost makes me want one. Almost. lol

Buddy, you know I've had several and just couldn't like them. Don't know why, just didn't work for me.

My Shield is running hard against the 43X, and it's close. Giving a slight edge to the 43, and it hurts to say that. But I did pre-order some mags for it.

[DWARREN123]

Makes the grip too long for me, 12 rounder is as about as long as I want to go.
