We built the first steel-body aftermarket magazine for the Glock 43X and 48. The rest of the industry followed.

Every S-Series mag comes with Spring for Life: free replacement magazine springs for as long as you own it. How it works

One Required Upgrade

Swap to the DUAL-FIT Catch

S-Series magazines are steel and aren't compatible with the factory polymer 43X/48 catch, so they run on our DUAL-FIT steel catch. It also runs Glock's factory 15-round steel mags and comes right‑ or left‑handed. The Starter Kit and Combo Packs 1 and 4 include it.

Questions

S-Series FAQ

 

Which pistols do S-Series mags fit?

The Glock 43X and 48, all generations. For the single-stack Glock 43, see the Z-Series. For the Glock 19 and 17, see the DS-Series.

Do I have to replace my mag catch?

Yes. The factory polymer catch isn't compatible with S-Series magazines. Install our DUAL-FIT steel catch, or start with the Starter Kit or Combo Pack 1 or 4, which include one.

Can I still run Glock's factory 15-round mags?

Yes. The DUAL-FIT runs S-Series mags and Glock's factory 15-round steel 43X/48 mags on the same catch. Order it right‑ or left‑handed for the hand you shoot with.

S20 or S15 with a +5 extension?

Both hold 20 rounds. The S20 is one piece with nothing to install. The S15 +5 lets you take the extension off and carry the same mag flush at 15.

What is the S10?

A 10-round magazine sized for a grip-chopped 43X or 48. It sits flush in the shortened grip, runs 12 or 15 with an S10 extension, and the same pistol still takes S15 and S20 mags. See the S10 system.

Do grip-chopped pistols come with the catch?

Yes. Pistols from our Grip Chop Service and our S10 custom builds ship with a DUAL-FIT installed.

What is Spring for Life?

Free replacement magazine springs for every Shield Arms magazine, for as long as you own it. See the program.

What's covered by the warranty?

Every S-Series magazine and extension is covered for life against defects in materials and workmanship. See the warranty.
