Glock 48 with Shield Arms Mags: New Best Carry Gun?

[@michaeldehart648]

Magazine capacity seems to be a major issue with many. I was a cop for 20 years. During that time, and in the years since one thing holds true. The vast, overwhelming majority of shootings happen within about 20-25 feet, last about 3 seconds, and fewer than five rounds are fired. The ability to put rounds center mass, under stress, from different positions and grips determines survivability more than the capacity of your EDC handgun. Jeff Cooper swore by the .45 1911 and its 7 rounds. I'm not trying to be argumentative. I love the Sig and have carried one. I own a 48. I've carried Gold Cups, High Powers, S&W 19s, and the new M&P line. My point is that training, familiarization, and practice will better enable you to function under stress and get those first two or three rounds where they need to be. I think that should be the #1 focus. Not mag capacity. Ok...let the hate begin in 3, 2, 1...

[@lukelinebaugh5545]

I think most would agree you could have a hundred rounds but end up with a hundred misses, shot placement is absolutely necessary but I would also say having the extra rounds on hands never hurt.

[@oldnick4707]

No hate here either buddy, lol. I'm definitely 98% more worried about where my first 2 or 3 rounds are gonna go than a fire-fight from hell. If those first few aren't right then I'm kaput anyway.

[@ggreloaded5269]

You are absolutely right, I carry with a staccato C with an 8 round mag and my friends think im nuts for not having at least 15, I carried a 5 shot snub for years, 8 rounds is a major upgrade 😂

G48 with a 3.5# Ghost Trigger Connector Bar, AmeriGlo Nights, Talon Pro Grips and a pair of Shield Arms S15 Mags is my new EDC as of yesterday after carrying a G30S for years.

[@Username-ld7ho]

Awesome! I really liked the G30S. I now have the 48 mos. I was thinking of changing the trigger, but I don't know if it will affect the reliability. Probably not, but it's just a thought that I had.

[@michaelschaffer5984]

That 30S is a great companion. It's basically a slightly wider 19. But what a thumper it is. Eleven rounds of knock em down in your holster! I carried one for a couple of years. Harder to hide but what a thumper of a pistol!

@@Username-ld7ho I’ve had good luck with drop in triggers in the past. Didn’t notice a difference in reliability but got more accurate with the lighter wall.

I think the p365 X with an icarus ace metal frame and magguts 14+1 flush mags with a holosun 507k/rmr cc and a light is pretty tough to beat... how does the c2 duo stack up with all of this? atlas edc 3.5? others?

The people hoping for a “20-round flush fit” G19 mag are forgetting that the OEM 15-round mag is already a double stack. Unless Shield Arms can come up with a TRIPLE STACK mag design, a “20-rounder” for the G19 isn’t happening. Shield Arms was only able to make a 15-round mag for the G43x/G48 because the OEM mags aren’t double stack.

The 43X is a contender with the Shield Arms 15 rd mag for personal carry. What counts is what fits your hand and points best for you. The Sig P356 and P365XL have a much nicer trigger than the Glock right out of the box; however, there are tradeoffs and for my hand size (Large), the Glock grip pointed straighter at the target more naturally (for me). Buyers should hold and dry fire the prospective pistols side by side, to see how they fit your hand. While you can learn how to shoot anything, there is an advantage to buying the size and shape of gun that fits you best. Shooters with medium or smaller hands generally prefer the smaller grip size of the Sig P365 models.

Lastly, I still keep my CZ CP10 C that is super comfortable and fixed the only two problems it had- An extended mag and slide stop release. Also I have kept some sentimental firearms that are just fun to shoot when that is the purpose of the day. An old Tanfoglio, all steel CZ-75 copy DOA or SA for example.

Both the 365xl and the 48 are tops as far as edc carry guns go, and you can’t go wrong with either one. Having said that, my preference is the 48.

I carry the 48 with the Shield Arms magazines for my edc, and my wife liked mine so much that she bought one as well and carries it routinely. In fact my only complaint on the 48 is that Glock for some dumbassed reason decided to release it with no rail for a light. A petty point I know, but it is what it is. But that’s not enough of an issue for me to dislike the weapon, and it’s still my go to for everyday carry. However, I sure wouldn’t discount anyone for carrying the 365xl, it’s an awesome piece also.

Here's another thought about mindset and who carries. From a military mindset, a G19 is the perfect size for a fight. You serve in the military, you're expecting a fight. You BRING the fight. As a cop, your job is peacekeeping. You react to a fight with as much as you can bear. For a civilian that isn't a cop or a soldier, you are not expect to fight but still understand that the fight can come to you. Your role is to simply live the best life you want but your mindset should not be "fight". For retired servicemen and cops, it's hard to shake the handgun in an EDC capacity that is NOT "about the fight". Is the G19 a good gun for EDC. Yes but how it's design is not for EDC. The G26 is designed for EDC. MANY handguns are "designed" for EDC. Meant to be easier to conceal. Otherwise, you dress to the gun.

i got a sig 1911 and a p365XL, both flawless, I have sold 5 glocks (17,20,42,43,43x) 17 and 43x were great!

[@sepronioruiz-valuroso6715]

Finally someone making sense about the frame printing and not the slide idk why glock makes shorter barreled pistols with larger frames defeats the purpose in my opinion

[@getback2239]

If you need more than 10 +1 it’s not the gun it’s you

[@wooddawg4868]

Now their magazine catches are steel which is what I have now with the Shield arms 15 rounders. I have not had any failures in my 43x to date using S15 magazines after 1 thousand rounds fired.

[@deucedeuce1572]

Ever find your right sleeve?

[@tadpitre2652]

P365XL is the top edc with the 15rd magazines

[@mikeob8498]

are you guys going with oxide finish or nickel and why

[@1911syndicate]

Nickel would not be my preference just because it's so easily seen

[@arrow_head24]

Bring in the lefty!

[@1911syndicate]

No one wants to hear from us

[@deucedeuce1572]

You can get MagGuts for the P365XL and get the mags to 14rds. (or 12 with the P365).

[@MichaelGBurr]

I just want know this can you offer a clip on my belt for gril. !!!! Just orderd a 48 2 weeks back. Thanks for the info.

[@gmgrib8891]

Do you guys have your own land that you shoot on or can you just drive out to the desert (idk where you guys live) but is that a thing??? Just trek out to the Desert and your allowed to go to work or is that not right??

[@1911syndicate]

If it’s public land it’s allowed

[@michaelschaffer5984]

There is a Magguts package available for the 365XL gives you 14. Works good.

[@tadpitre2652]

Shield plus is 13+1 is amazing

[@PkwyDrive13]

The difference between EDCing a Glock 48 MOS vs a Glock 19 MOS doesn't sound like it'd be much different or noticeable.. but I have carried a Glock 19 with TLR7 and 507c for years, just traded for a Glock 48 MOS with 407k and TLR7sub...and it's a very noticeable difference. And no downside as it's the same capacity with S15 gen 3 mags.

[@strictlyoutdoorschannel8716]

M&p shield 9, that’s the king on EDC Glock 19 tier 1 appendix rig with extended mag, other king!

[@houseexchange8702]

A trigger like I wade through swamps and everglades. Unashamedly witty and funny. LOL

[@shastadude13]

Bought my wife a 43X for mother's day to replace her 43, went with this vs a 365 or Hellcat because I'm a Glock fanboy and the existence of Shield S15 mags. I bought 3 the day I bought the gun and finally got around to testing them out today, 0 issues. It's a game changer, and my wife now has a gun she shoots better than the 43 and carries 9 more rounds in the mag.

[@1911syndicate]

Nice! Same, mine have been solid

[@Matt_Moore]

Question: Why do you always wear a long sleeve just on your left? Nice review. I suppose I need to look into upgrading my p938 to a 365 or this Glock once the market calms down.

[@agrisizkulak]

healing tattoo

[@Matt_Moore]

Nah, it doesn’t take that long for a tattoo to heal. My hypothesis its a similar practice to a Mandalorian warrior. His ancient religion of leftist gingers requires constant concealment of the left arm. This is the way. 🤣

[@1911syndicate]

Haha and unfinished tattoo would be the correct answer. 16 sessions deep since december

[@caleblangford5508]

I used to carry the P365 XL. However, when Glock came out with the 43X MOS, I felt that that solved a few of the disadvantages of going with the Glock (rail, red dot, etc). Now, when paired with the shield arms mags, the 43X is my favorite!

[@ramonfoster1224]

The 43x isn’t as good as the 48. The longer barrel doesn’t make it any less concealable

[@johntoughlove479]

@@ramonfoster1224 Depends on where you carry on your person; body type, etc. If you're running a rmr type dot sight radius isn't a thing anymore. So I think it's just personal preference. Having said all that, I chose the 48 mos with a holosun 407k as my slim/summer carry.

[@rayban7382]

Also the Glock 48 is just a Glock 1911. Change my mind

[@1911syndicate]

That is the most offensive thing I've heard in the last 2 hours

[@Izzy3533]

43X with shield arms mags is King 👑 just my opinion.

[@kebrownnov2993]

And now you have the 48 MOS Models, so a red dot can be added. Doing stippling, a new trigger, and a new set of sights probably STILL put you below what you will pay for the Sig.

[@jareddavis1919]

Which one has less felt recoil?

[@1911syndicate]

It's not a dramatic difference

[@hunterjones7909]

Love the videos but how are you able to pump them out at the rate youre going with ammo prices right now

[@IDFWU650]

Reality stockpile

[@1911syndicate]

You know it hurts every time haha

[@evoeyerex3518]

The only thing that I can say about the shield arm mags is if you switch out the mag release like they recommend at least on my Glock 48 MOS my Glock mags from factory still fit, but they will not drop freely. Only the shield arms mags will drop freely . I literally have to pull the magazine out of the gun Still functions properly I can dump the mag no problem and everything .The issue is for some reason it’s getting caught. When I press the release, I don’t know why but I have since then just completely switched over to shield mags and I hope thats something that I don’t regret just an FYI I don’t know if anyone has the same issue. If you do, please tell me how or if you resolved it.

[@dustinb.77]

Glock needs to step their game up a bit. If Sig and Springfield can fit 10+ rounds in a double stack magazine to insert into a sub-compact, Glock can too. Single stack polymer frame handguns are inferior at this point. For their sub-compacts they need to transition from plastic mags to aluminum, allowing for thinner mag walls to hold higher round count, then also come stock a mag release that is durable for aluminum mags. I understand glocks are the grand daddy of the polymer striker fire pistols, but other companies are presenting better stock features. Glock needs to do away with all of the plastic parts. Sights, guide rod, magazines, mag release, est... Start stocking fiber optic and tritium sight options, extended mag and slide releases, steel guide rod and possibly aluminium magazines. These simple upgrades to stock features shouldn't upset the after market support to customize your very own ford f150. "I have spoken."

[@brighthought11]

exactly they should have the options.. its insane, first off they overcharge for what they do sell, so they could add some simple things like night sights, suppressor sights, fiber optics, optics ready cuts with plates etc, extended mag/slide release and a stipple job probably by laser. flat face trigger options etc..

[@Freakingstang]

Aluminum dents too easily. Hellcat and 365 mags are stainless

[@JustSumGuy01]

Rethinking the Shield Arms mag. I usually carry a single spare mag. I started my EDC life carrying 2 and realizing that was "overkill" and not convenient with my clothes and where I work. Then I started to carry a G19 with a spare mag that has a +2 extension on a G17 mag. That makes it 19 rounds in my spare and I don't like grip sleeves anyway. But for a G48 with a spare being basically a slim G19, 15 in the gun and a spare 20 is almost exactly like my G19 EDC but now the gun is slimmer and easier to carry.

[@jdsolberg7613]

After seeing a few videos of malfunctioning guns due to tolerance issues with the s15's, I'll wait for the Gen3 version. Maybe.

[@cssjuba101]

i own both... really just up to the shooter id say. I was always under the impression that i shot glocks better because that is all i shot... but sig has grown on me.

[@andrewgrabowski8476]

To improve the grip, try Talon Pro grips. They freaking Rock!

[@j.anthonyk1730]

Or grip the gun tighter...

[@ThePatriotsway]

Those new Talons are pretty nice.

[@johnrein629]

The Hogue handall beavertail grip has made my g48 my most comfortable gun to shoot.

[@NeatFreq]

Casually pulls out Staccato C2 Duo, meh, hahaha. Nah, but in all seriousness it's definitely not a battle with the micro 9's; I'll give it to Sig on that one too.

[@anonymous_end_user]

Holy mother of temple indexing. 😂

[@davidoconnor5417]

If the shield arms mag was aluminum like you said there would be no corrosion issues so if it’s steel there would be corrosion issues but not if it’s aluminum

[@czjunky2045]

I modified my CZ-75 18 round mags to work flawlessly with my 48

[@alexanderm8880]

Once it has a light rail and a better beavertail it'll be perfect.

@@1911syndicate I have fat hands, lol

[@michaelschaffer5984]

Right the XL doesn't need anything. It's nearly a perfect gun. Mine is unbeatable. Magguts improve it but it doesn't really need anything. However my Shield Plus with tritium sights is also unbeatable. My 43X with sights trigger and high capacity mags is also unbeatable. Why should I settle for one phenomenal gun when I can have 3?
