They are working on a Glock 43 magazine, I signed up for their newsletter to jump on a few when they are released.

I think this will be huge if the capacity is right. I actually put my g43 aside that I have been carrying for the last 5 or 6 years for a 365xl nra. One of that hardest things to do was sit a glock aside for a sig.

I must have been asleep at the wheel. 15 round mags for 43x and 48? Using those in my 48 would officially make my g19 obsolete.
Awesome.

Is the 43X that much better for carry?
The G19 is about an inch longer and maybe 1/4" wider. They are both the same height.

My 43X was a target of opportunity with factory night sights, so I just got it as it was, replaced the front with the correct height Ameriglo orange outline front and have a really nice set up, dialed in perfectly (for me). Only thing that ticks me off? I have to be the ONE guy that his gun won't run 100% with Shield Arms mags!!!!
That was with absolutely every consideration, but two of three would nose dive about the 12th round HARD into the slide. Yes, I had the metal mag release, yes, I tried both stock and +10% springs, hell, I wanted to love those mags!
In the end, Shield Arms absolutely made me whole down to the penny, so cannot fault them. I want to use those mags so much, I've considered selling this 43X and buying another...

Well my local gun store got a 43x in Friday and I did the paperwork. We'll see if it shoots as nice and it seems. I have a holster and some sights ordered. Now waiting for the S15 mags to come back in stock. Still no problem with the metal mags?

All my SA15 mags have run 100%, and I use the SA mag release. Good luck,,,,
Picked up my 43x this week. Sights, Warren tactical flat black rear and tritium front, shield arms mag release, and surefire tlr6 installed. Waiting on sa arms 15rd mags, and the holsters to show up. Range testing Monday, as long as it shoots well my glock 19 and probably my 30 will be going down the road and replaced with something else.
Well, have you tried it out yet?

My G43X. Perfect carry pistol for me. (for now) 
I got the pistol and the Shield Arms mags. It has been 100% reliable with what ever Walmart range fodder I had and with Winchester Ranger 147 bonded. Still waiting on the Trijicon HD XR, which should be here tomorrow. Then I have to qualify with it at which point it is replacing my 19.

Important thing here..... Did you get the metal Mag release they also sell? Because the metal mags will chew away at the stock plastic mag release.
Can you still use the plastic mags with the metal release, or do they get chewed up by it?
Interesting thread these 43x’s seem like winners but I can’t justify going that route due to being able to easily conceal the G26 I’ve had for years with the x-Grip sleeves on G17 mags. Maybe if I ever get to CCW more often I’ll change my mind.
