Hello,
anyone with a 43x and made a change to fit the Shielded Arms 15 round MAGAZINE and can share how it works and are there any problems? And of course if he is satisfied. Is there a video on how to make the change?
Thanks.

Make sure you buy the metal mag release also. I won’t run the metal mag release on my oem Glock mags. Just a thought.

Same here but I find myself only ever using the Shield magazines so it's not much of a issue.

Yes, I have a dozen of them and I have not had any issues with them. Ditto on getting metal release to use with them.

I’d like to hear from the op.

I love the mags no issues I have put hundreds of rounds down range. I installed the metal mag release.

First, the mag in the picture is gen 1. They had issues with it and now the gen 2s have gray followers.
I had no problems with this magazine until I changed the striker spring in my G 48 MOS from the OEM 5.5 lb to an aftermarket 4.5 lb. That caused frequent failures to feed in every S15 Gen2 I own.
I reversed the striker spring back to OEM and the problem went away.
I had changed my 43x striker spring to a 4.5 lb. spring and did not have these problems. Why? Could it be that the additional 2 oz of weight in the 48's longer slide has an impact?
Would a skeletonized striker or a weaker or stronger recoil spring be required to keep the timing correct?
Chime in if you know the answer.
Please don't respond with keep everything OEM. I understand that principle, but am trying to learn and share something helpful here.
