Magazine replacement
I love it! It’s steel and very well made. I wished they made a 10-round magazine, but not currently.

Shield Glock 43 magazine
This magazine increases capacity from 6 to 9 rounds. Brownells had a very good price on these.

Good Mags
Tested them and the function is good. The spring is pretty strong, but not a big problem when using the Glock loading tool.

Oh yah!!!
I purchased four, they are very stiff. The springs inside are very strong so I needed a mag loader. The stiffness of the springs are the only reason I would say to anyone interested in getting one of these.

Work great, holds 9 rounds in the mag
I'm just dropping a positive review, I simply own 2 of these. They both fit/function/perform/shoot reliably. I keep mine loaded to full capacity, 9 rounds. They can be loaded into the Glock with a round chambered/closed-slide without much difficulty. I understand some mags get extra difficult to load into the gun on a closed-slide, these mags aren't difficult at all. Still waiting for Shield Arms to drop their +1 and +3 Z9 mags...

More ammo, very small increase in height
These work well, increase capacity by 50% and only increase the overall height of the pistol slightly.

Shield Arms Z9
I’ve not shot the mags yet, but loaded 9 rounds. Worked the slide through the first 8 rounds and had slide lock with 1 round still in mag. Had to use slide lock release to get slide forward to chamber 9th round. Then, slide lock on the empty mag as designed. Tried both new mags and experienced same issue with both mags multiple times. Wondering and hoping it’s just a new mag stiffnesses and will work properly after shooting. To be continued….

Will probably function ok
It is VERY tight to get the last round in the mag so it will probably function ok.

Couldn't get mine to run reliably
These magazines appear to be quality construction, but I couldn't get mine to run reliably. They were repeatedly (almost every magazine) causing premature slide lockbacks with rounds still in the magazine particularly with one or two rounds left in the magazine.
