I’ve never had my .32 LWS cut my hand (size 8 glove , so fairly small)….just lucky I guess.

It makes it tricky to clear it because if you drop the magazine the slide locks.

If my Seecamp was at all reliable I would love to have a matching set like that.

JMHO................I could be wrong.

I have a Glock 43 and purchased a Shield magazine for it that has not been used. Are you saying that it is safe to use the Shield with an unaltered magazine catch?

« Last post by MikeInTexas on November 20, 2024, 06:50:54 PM »I am glad this thread got bumped. I've changed my mind about one topic in this thread......the G43 mag catch thing.
I now firmly believe it's a snake oil pitch. I've finished the 'ghost gun' 43, shot it, had it destroyed in an accident, re-built it as a 43X. That Shield mag catch is a way to lock you into purchasing their overpriced (Shield) magazines in the future. Yes, I got taken as well. Learned my lesson. Realized that the number of mag changes you would have to do far exceeds something I will ever perform on a carry gun. Maybe a competition gun after years and years of hard use, but not a carry gun.
Got pointed out how many folks, me included, run poly mags in their ARs and such with a metal mag catch with zero issues. No company insists you buy a (non-existent) polymer mag catch to run PMags, LOL.
In the future I will not change out the factory mag catch. However I will continue to use into the Shield magazine with it's extension (20 total) and be comfortable with it. I will also probably purchase the equivalent magazines from PSA for any future G43X I get and not worry about the magazine catch and save money in the process.

It is small, smooth, hammer fired, powerful, and predictable if maintained and fed the ammo it prefers. Accuracy should not ever be an issue with a “Get Off Of Me” gun as these are point and shoot at ranges of 2 inches to 5 yards (extreme distance 7-10 yards with practice). I shoot 20 rounds at the range 3 to 4 times in a year making my recoil spring good for 3 to 4 years (I am 82 so may not need another), but I have multiple spare springs.
I also sometimes carry a Seecamp due to clothing constraints here in Florida, good for 3 to 12 feet. Amelia Island is isolated and very safe; when I travel to JAX I carry my P365 in 12 + 1 configuration with a spare 15 round mag and a BUG. I do wish I had the eyes, strength, balance and reflexes I had 12 years ago but upright and above ground is still a pretty good day for me!
