Description
The S15 magazine is a patent-pending, flush-fitting 15 round magazine for the Glock® 43X and Glock® 48.
The S15 is a steel magazine, and is the same length as the OEM Glock® 10 round magazine, but holds an additional 5 rounds.
Increased Capacity, Same ReliabilityGlock® pistols and magazines are known for reliability – the S15 maintains that same Glock® reliability while giving you a 50% increase in magazine capacity in the same overall footprint.
Shield Arms accomplished this increased capacity with their patent-pending magazine geometry, allowing the rounds to stagger, thereby fitting more in the same amount of space.

Mag Catch RecommendationShield Arms recommends swapping out your plastic OEM mag catch with either their standard steel mag catch or their premium steel mag catch. Here’s why. If you don’t swap your mag catch you may have reliability issues. If you use another manufacturer’s mag catch you may have reliability issues.
Gen 3 magazines were designed to work with Shield Arms steel mag catches. If you have a first-generation aluminum mag catch, Shield Arms recommends upgrading to one of their steel mag catch offerings.
Electroless NickelElectroless nickel coatings are extremely uniform, corrosion and erosion resistant and provide excellent lubricity. If you are in a humid or saltwater environment, or if you sweat a lot, Shield Arms recommends Electroless Nickel.
WarrantyLike all Shield Arms products, the S15 magazine comes with their 100% lifetime warranty against manufacturing defects. Additionally,Shield Arms also offers a Spring for Life Guarantee – wear out your spring, get a new one for free, for life.
