This review details the Shield Arms S15 Gen 3 magazines for the Glock 43x and 48. The video highlights a packaging discrepancy where 'Gen 2' labels were used for Gen 3 products, requiring manufacturer clarification. A detailed visual comparison between Gen 2 and Gen 3 models reveals differences in the magazine body, feed lips, and base plates, with hopes that the Gen 3 design addresses prior reliability concerns. The speaker, a firearms enthusiast, provides an informative breakdown based on direct observation and manufacturer communication.
This review of the Shield Arms S15 Gen 3 magazines highlights significant improvements over previous generations, including enhanced durability and corrosion resistance due to new steel, coating, and heat treatment. While initial reliability is rated at 95% after a break-in period, the reviewer experienced random jams, particularly with hollow-point ammunition nose-diving on the barrel ramp. The Gen 3 mags feature raised ribs for a more secure fit, contrasting with the flawless performance of Gen 2 magazines. Future testing in an unmodified Glock 43X is planned to isolate potential causes of the remaining issues.
