Frequently Asked Questions

Why does Tessah Booth still prefer the Glock 48 MOS for concealed carry?

She prefers the Glock 48 MOS for its superior shootability and optics-ready slide. Its longer muzzle aids concealment via the 'keel principle', and its slim profile fits her smaller hands better than a Glock 19, combined with valuable training familiarity.

What are the main complaints about the Glock 48 MOS?

The primary complaints are its low standard capacity of 10+1 rounds and the MOS system's frequent need for adapter plates to mount popular optics like Holosun.

What issues have been reported with Shield Arms S15 magazines?

Gen 1 Shield Arms S15 magazines experienced catastrophic failures due to inadequate heat treatment, causing shearing. While Gen 2 showed reliability in testing, the speaker no longer trusts them for carry due to past experiences.

What is the benefit of the Striker Control Device (SCD) on a Glock?

The Striker Control Device (SCD) provides crucial tactile feedback when holstering the pistol. This helps prevent accidental discharges by ensuring the trigger finger is clear, significantly enhancing safety during the re-holstering process.
