The Glock 43X magazine options are crucial for balancing concealability, capacity, and overall functionality. Here's a breakdown of the available magazine options and some popular aftermarket choices:

Glock 43X Magazine

• Capacity: 10 rounds


• Design: Slim, single-stack magazine


• Material: Polymer body with metal reinforcements


• Purpose: Designed to maintain the slim profile of the Glock 43X, ideal for concealed carry without adding bulk.


• Compatibility: Fits perfectly into the Glock 43X and Glock 48.

 

Aftermarket Magazine Options

Many users look to increase the capacity of their Glock 43X for more rounds without sacrificing too much of the slimline appeal.

Shield Arms S15 Magazine

 

• Capacity: 15 rounds


• Material: All-metal construction (unlike Glock’s polymer magazines)


• Slim Profile: The Shield Arms S15 magazine maintains the same slim profile as the factory 10-round magazine while offering 5 extra rounds.


• Upgrades Required: To avoid damaging the polymer mag release that comes standard with the Glock 43X, it's recommended to upgrade to a Shield Arms metal magazine release when using the S15 magazine. The metal mag release prevents wear and tear that the S15 magazine could cause on the stock polymer mag release.


• Pros: Higher capacity without adding bulk, maintaining the slim grip of the Glock 43X.


• Cons: Requires a metal mag release for optimal performance and durability.

 

ETS (Elite Tactical Systems) Extended Magazines

 

• Capacity Options: 12-round, 15-round, and 19-round magazines are available.


• Material: Clear polymer, which allows users to see the number of rounds remaining.


• Design: These magazines extend beyond the grip of the Glock 43X, making them bulkier but providing significantly more capacity.


• Purpose: Ideal for range use or home defense when concealment is not a priority.


• Pros: High capacity, affordable, and transparent for easy round count.


• Cons: Bulky and protrudes from the grip, making it less ideal for concealed carry.
