The Shield Arms Magwell for the Glock 43X/48 in gold (brand part no. G43X48-MAGWELL-GLD) bolts to the base of the grip and flares the magazine well outward, speeding up reloads on the Glock 43X and 48 without changing the pistol’s slim, concealable footprint. Shield Arms built its reputation on Glock 43X/48 upgrades, and this magwell is sized specifically to those two models rather than as a universal fit, so it lines up cleanly with the factory frame and magazine catch. The gold finish gives it a distinct look compared to the more common black or FDE options. It’s a popular add for shooters who run the 43X or 48 for concealed carry but still want faster mag changes on the range.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this fit a standard Glock 43 (not the 43X)? No, this magwell is sized for the Glock 43X and 48 frames specifically, not the original single-stack 43.

Does adding a magwell make the pistol harder to conceal? It adds a small amount of length at the base of the grip, so shooters who prioritize deep concealment should weigh that trade-off against the reload speed benefit.
