Frequently Asked Questions
Does this magwell work with standard Glock factory magazines?
The Shield Arms Magwell for the Glock 43X/48 is specifically contoured and optimized for use with the Shield Arms S15 magazine paired with the S15 +0 base plate. While it physically fits the frame of the Glock 43X and 48, the funnel geometry and fit are engineered around the S15 platform for the best reload performance. Using standard factory Glock magazines may result in a less precise fit.
Will this magwell add significant bulk to my Glock 43X or 48?
Shield Arms designed this magwell to preserve the slim, concealable profile of the Glock 43X and 48. The contoured billet aluminum construction adds minimal bulk while providing a meaningful improvement in magazine guidance and grip. It remains a viable option for everyday carry when paired with an appropriate holster that accommodates a magwell.
Is installation permanent, and do I need a gunsmith to install it?
No permanent modification to your Glock is required. The Shield Arms magwell is designed for a straightforward drop-in installation that most users can complete at home with basic tools. No drilling, cutting, or gunsmithing is necessary, making it an accessible upgrade for Glock 43X and 48 owners of all experience levels.
