Frequently Asked Questions
Does this magazine catch work with factory Glock OEM magazines?
The Shield Arms Premium Mag Catch is engineered and optimized specifically for use with Shield Arms S15 steel flush-fit magazines for the Glock 43X and Glock 48. While it may function with OEM Glock magazines, best performance and engagement are achieved when paired with the S15 steel magazine it was designed around. For reliable everyday carry, Shield Arms recommends using both components together.
What is the difference between the Premium and Standard Shield Arms Mag Catch?
The Premium model offers approximately .03" more catch face extension compared to the Standard Mag Catch, resulting in slightly greater magazine engagement for improved retention and a more positive lock. The Premium version also features enhanced extended knurling for better tactile control during release, and is available in additional PVD coating options — including this DLC finish — for improved durability and aesthetics beyond the standard Black Nitride coating.
Are there magazine capacity restrictions I should be aware of for California?
Yes. California law restricts detachable magazines to a maximum capacity of 10 rounds. The Shield Arms S15 magazine holds 15 rounds, which exceeds California's legal limit for new magazine purchases. Goodland Guns, located in California, complies with all state regulations. Please consult current California DOJ guidelines or a qualified legal professional regarding magazine capacity restrictions before purchasing compatible magazines.
