Increased Capacity, Same Reliability

The Z9 Pistol Magazine is a 9-round steel magazine for the Glock® 43. It is the same length as the OEM Glock® magazine with pinky extension, but holds an additional 3 rounds. Glock® pistols and magazines are known for reliability – the Z9 maintains that same Glock® reliability, while providing a 50% increase in magazine capacity in the same overall footprint.

Powercron Finish

Powercron is a cationic epoxy coating that offers excellent corrosion resistance and low VOC in a lead-free electrocoat finish. Ideal for humid or saltwater environments, or for users who sweat heavily. For maximum protection, we recommend Powercron, Electroless Nickel, or Black Electroless Nickel finishes.

Note: Because we have multiple Powercron vendors, slight cosmetic variations in the finish may occur. This does not affect performance. If consistent appearance is important to you, an electroless nickel finish may be preferable.

Mag Catch Requirement

It is required to swap out your plastic OEM mag catch with either our Standard Z9 Mag Catch or our Z9 Premium Steel Mag Catch for optimal reliability. Using the OEM plastic catch or another manufacturer’s mag catch may cause reliability issues. The Z9 is specifically designed to function with Shield Arms steel mag catches.

Specifications

  • 9-round capacity

  • Easy-to-remove, impact-resistant base pad

ITAR Notice: This item is controlled for export under the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR). Please check your state and local laws regarding magazine capacity restrictions.

ODA Green

Used on: magazine extensions, magwells

ODA's (Operational Detachment Alpha) are the boots on the ground operational teams of a Special Forces Group. This color began as a special run for a deployed ODA. In continued support we have decided to continue the color as a standard offering and donate a portion of the proceeds to The Green Beret Foundation. Finish is anodized in green.

QPQ Nitrocarburizing Surface Treatment

Used on: magazines, barrels, slides

QPQ Nitrocarburizing is a type of surface treatment used to enhance the durability and corrosion resistance of metal parts. The process involves heating the metal in a controlled environment, where nitrogen and carbon are introduced to the surface of the metal. This forms a thin layer of a hard compound called "nitrides," which increase the surface hardness of the metal.

During the QPQ Nitrocarburizing process, the metal is immersed in a special salt bath and heated to high temperatures. The salt bath contains a mixture of chemicals that release nitrogen and carbon, which penetrate the surface of the metal. The process is carefully controlled to ensure that the nitrogen and carbon penetrate to a specific depth, creating a uniform layer of nitrides on the metal's surface.

The resulting nitride layer provides many benefits to the metal parts, including increased hardness, wear resistance, and corrosion resistance. This treatment helps to increase the lifespan and durability of metal parts, making them more reliable and long-lasting.

Any “scuffing” you see in the surface finish is completely normal, and will not affect the durability or corrosion resistance of the steel.

Electroless Nickel Plating

Used on: magazines

Silver electroless plating offers superior electrical conductivity and corrosion protection with excellent deposit uniformity and adhesion properties. This bright, reflective finish provides outstanding solderability and contact resistance while maintaining the consistent thickness and coverage that electroless plating processes are known for. Black electroless nickel plating provides these same exceptional deposit properties - including lubricity, hardness, and corrosion resistance - but with a fully conductive and uniform black surface finish that combines superior performance with an attractive dark appearance.
