Frequently Asked Questions
Will this magazine catch work with the factory Glock polymer magazines?
The Shield Arms Premium Mag Catch is specifically optimized for use with Shield Arms S15 steel magazines for the Glock 43X and Glock 48. While it physically installs in place of the factory catch, Shield Arms strongly recommends pairing it with their S15 steel magazines for proper engagement and reliable function. Use with standard factory Glock polymer magazines is not guaranteed to perform optimally.
What is the difference between the Premium and Standard Shield Arms Mag Catch?
The Premium version features a slightly extended catch face (approximately .03" longer than the standard model) for greater magazine engagement, plus extended knurling by 1/32" for improved ergonomics during press-checks and releases. The Premium catch also features a contoured design that eliminates hard angles at the bottom, resulting in smoother, more consistent magazine insertions compared to the Standard Mag Catch.
Is this catch legal for use with standard-capacity S15 magazines in California?
California law restricts magazines to a maximum capacity of 10 rounds. The Shield Arms S15 magazine is available in a California-compliant 10-round configuration. This magazine catch itself is a parts component and is not capacity-restricted, but you should ensure any magazines used with it comply with California's current magazine capacity laws. When in doubt, consult local regulations or speak with our staff at Goodland Guns for guidance.
