Shield Arms Steel Mag Catch/Release Installation On Glock 43x For S15 Magazines 

To get the rod spring out of the way... use a 6n1 multi screwdriver you probably have in a drawer somewhere. Use the smaller end, remove the screw insert and slide the tube end over the rod to push/ pull it out of the way. Super easy

Thanks for video I'm nervous about changing it but I need to learn

Yeah I am getting the metal magazine release I hope it helps with the reliability of the S15 mags. I og bought 3 S15 mags and I had to return 2 of then over reliability issues. One of them over failure to eject and the other over easily falling out of the mag well while shooting.

I didn’t have needle nose at hand to pull that spring out this vid was clutch

I’m left handed. Can you switch the side of the mag release button to the right side of the pistol as well??

FYI Video starts at 02:05.

Tried shield arm video way first that remove spring pin then install mag catch then spring pin . But actually install spring pin isn’t easy so I tried your way not removing spring pin that was way easier and faster thanks ❤

Ive been trying for 30 min to get the spring out. I don’t understand how it’s so easy for everyone else

thanks for the vid!

Lol video shows you zero detail in the actual installation

do u know id there is any way to tune the mag release so it shoots out harder? lol might be a dumb question but i just think it would be super cool if you hit the mag release and it just shoots out hard af haha like spring loaded release hah

i get my 2x s15 mags and 2x +5 extensions with steel release tomorrow! cant wait. thanks for vid!

I have used this One, but I switched to NDZ. NDZ mag release is more in detail and funtion more softer. Somehow, S15 mag works better in NDZ mag release.

5:39 "Feels great." Until you actually load it with rounds like one would in real life and then you realize the mags don't just slide in and click but need a good smack to seat.

Thanks

Can't get the mag release out. Doesn't matter how hard I pry or pull once it's in that opening, it doesn't come up. This gun is getting ready to go into a fire lol

Hola buenas tardes yo compré los cargadores y no me funciona se tranca la pistola pregunta por qué Glock no asé esos cargadores original para q no hay ha problemas gracias 🇵🇷

Nice tongue clicking tutorial. Thanks for mentioning the link to Shield Arms actual install video.

Friend…is it worth it? What about the plastic factory Glock mags? How do they perform w new metal part?

Question is can you use your stock Glock mags with the metal mag release cause I’m in a state that I can only have 10 round

Use a small needle nose plier to pull the spring out once you pop the spring out of the way and put back in. It is a lot easier.

You don't modify the proven system with the malfunctioning system.

Wish I could have seen the details of how you actually popped the spring out of its slot. That's the tricky part of this procedure. PS Pulling the spring completely out of its bottom hole, and the sliding it back in after installing the catch seems to be working for everyone.

A few scratches not bad 😂

DO NOT ATTEMPT THIS WITHOUT A ORING PICK! Spent the last 3 hours scratching and gouging at my lower frame cuz this guy gives zero context to the install with a flathead.

You can pull the spring out, fit the release then put it back in the wedge Hope u got rid of those plastic sights by now. 😂

Im here to change my mag release not a history lesson

Fuck this spring

5 minutes no problems. Small flat screwdriver slide over spring pops out reverse order. Will not hurt plastic magazines

2 years oem mag release, no issues. They will sell you the kitchen sink.

I bought these mags and mag catch, but after many months of reading about them there is no way I run them without testing at least 1,000 rounds, maybe 200rds per mag at least... Instead I am running the OEM 10rd mags in the holster and then +4 Tyrant extensions on OEM mags as backups. The reviews on these S15's are all over the place, not very reassuring at all.

And he forgot the needle nose 😢

I remember the first time I made a RU-vid video…

way to say “remove the spring” and then not tell us how.

Wow video not worth the watch.

so it this mod worth the purchase of a glock 43 over glock 19x?
