Frequently Asked Questions
Does this magwell work with the factory Glock magazines for the 43X/48?
The Shield Arms Magwell is specifically contoured for use with the Shield Arms S15 magazine and the S15 +0 base plate. While it fits the Glock 43X and 48 frame, it is optimized for the S15 magazine system and may not function as intended with standard factory Glock magazines. For the best experience, pairing it with Shield Arms S15 magazines is strongly recommended.
Will this magwell affect the concealability of my Glock 43X or 48?
The Shield Arms Magwell is designed with a low-profile, contoured shape that minimizes added bulk to the grip frame. While any magwell will add a small amount of length to the grip, the functional advantages in reload speed and grip enhancement are generally well worth the marginal increase in size for most everyday carry users.
Is installation difficult, and does it require any permanent modifications to my pistol?
Installation is straightforward and does not require permanent modifications to your Glock 43X or 48. The magwell is designed to replace the grip plug or attach to the existing frame, and no gunsmithing is typically required. However, always follow the included instructions carefully, and consult a qualified gunsmith if you are unsure about any steps in the installation process.
