    Default Glock 43 nine round Shield Z9 magazines?

    Initial you tube videos look very promising.

    $140 for the Shield steel mag catch and 3- nine round mags.
    $100 for two mags/m-catch or
    $60 for one mag/m-catch

    I already carry mine with the pinky extension so the outside dimensions won't change.

    Any one try these out yet?

    They have reliability issues in the 43x, not worth the price for a few extra rnds and a better chance at malfunctioning.

    What I've seen on youtube is last round hold open issues with some. Do they have other issues as well?

    When I first started shooting (ages ago) I tried aftermarket magazines in my Taurus PT92 (first 9). Promags and Ramlines I believe? THOSE were JUNK mags! They would jam up your gun every way possible. Believe it or not the factory Taurus mags were reliable but expensive. I learned early on stick with factory mags even for Taurus firearms.

    I wished all those mags did was, "not hold open after the last round".

    I*ve seen on some other forums where some were having issues, some weren*t. It*s enough for me to just stick with factory mags. The fact that you have to change the mag catch to their steel one would be a no go for me.
