Re: Shield Arms announces the Z9 for Glock 43
These have finally - and rather silently - appeared locally almost a year after launch.
I was surprised to see them listed on Hailstorm’s website.
Who’s biting the proverbial R1240 bullet and letting us know how they run? The American market doesn’t seem impressed…

Re: Shield Arms announces the Z9 for Glock 43
I belive Bunker Arms had some a month or two back. Think was a kit of 2 mags and the mag catch. Not sure if it sold out.

Re: Shield Arms announces the Z9 for Glock 43
Recently bought the Z9 combo with mag catch from Jizni.
Their first lot was sold out.
Made sure I bought when the second lot came in.
Starting function testing with ball ammo only yesterday. No issues.
Moving on to various jhp today.
The difference in grip length between the G43 and G43x both with Shield mags in, is negligible IMHO. I have both.

Re: Shield Arms announces the Z9 for Glock 43
So this should've been a 10rd mag. . . like the factory 43x mag, which only doesn't fit in the 43 because Glock needed you to buy the 43x as well. Got nothing against Glocks, 19gen5 is always in my recommended for compacts but they've lost the micro9 pistol battle. And more and more buyers are gravitating towards the micro9s

Re: Shield Arms announces the Z9 for Glock 43
Glock makes excellent mags that have zero reliability issues. I read somewhere that Gaston was not in favour of them dispensing with the polymer outer on their proprietory design.
Cue a company like Shield Arms to do what they did.
The jury is still out about the long term reliability of the shield mags, me thinks
