The Shield Arms Premium S15 Steel Magazine Catch for the Glock 43X/48 (brand part no. G43X-PRM-GLD-RH) is optimized specifically for right-hand use rather than trying to be an ambidextrous compromise. Because it isn’t ambidextrous, Shield Arms was able to eliminate the hard angles on the bottom of the catch, which translates directly into smoother magazine drops when paired with their steel S15 magazine. The catch face is extended by roughly .03 inch compared to Shield Arms’ Standard Mag Catch, giving slightly more magazine engagement for a more positive, confident lockup. Finished in gold, it’s a functional upgrade with a distinctive look for a 43X or 48 owner running the steel S15 magazine.
