This Shield Arms Premium S15 Steel Magazine Catch is a right-hand-specific replacement part for Glock 43X and 48 pistols, built with an extended catch face that is roughly 0.03" longer than the standard part to improve magazine engagement. The extended knurling and reshaped profile remove hard angles, giving the shooter a smoother, more positive release during reloads.
The catch is finished in black nitride for corrosion resistance and is compatible only with steel S15 magazines, not with plastic OEM magazines. It is made in the USA and covered by a 100% lifetime warranty.
