A solution to a problem that doesn’t exist.

 

[Gman3101]

A chopped 43x, using an aftermarket mag catch as well as aftermarket mags will not, and cannot, be as reliable as a Glock 26 in full oem configuration.

That is irrefutable.

proof?

 

[Gman3101]

I think he’s meaning that the Shield Arms mags make them less reliable rather then a stock 43x or 26.

But they don’t. At least they haven’t for me.

And multiple people I know.

As I said earlier, this is a solution to a problem that doesn’t exist, but I have had 100% reliability with my Shield magazines.

 

[Gman3101]

I should not have to teach you how mechanical systems work. You are introducing additional failure points to the system. A Glock 26 has been around for decades. Time tested and proved out. You are taking a relatively new firearm, the 43x, changing a rather important physical dimension, and adding an unproven magazine from a manufacturer that has a rather brief track record.

How is that hard to understand?

So, no proof.

But lots of conjecture.

 

[Gman3101]

Empirically, I am not wrong.

Then show your proof.

 

[Gman3101]

My "proof" is the collective knowledge of how mechanical systems work over the history of forever. Do your own work and look up "interchangeability, validation, and calibration" in reference to engineering and statistics. Quit making yourself look foolish. I am done wallowing in the forum mud with you.

That is conjecture. Fancy words do not make you correct. “It’s always worked this way” doesn’t make your correct. Glock parts can and do fail alongside their aftermarket counterparts

You don’t design and manufacture firearms, so you really don’t know. You don’t know that this particular gun won’t run. You’re guessing.

Meanwhile my G48 runs exactly the same with Shield mags as it does with the Glock mags over 2500 rounds.

We aren’t wallowing in the mud. You just can’t back up your assertion. That’s you flailing about.

I will give you credit. You at least put quotes around the word proof.

 

[Gman3101]

Well it’s clearly not for you, it’s for people that want a 43 sized gun with more capacity.

Which can be done by using a Shield magazine in a 43 with the OEM sized grip.

 

[Gman3101]

You are correct, it isn’t flush fit. I said OEM grip, not OEM total length.

But it’s also not an extended mag hanging out the bottom either.

So you chop the grip down on a 43X, still need a longer mag. End of day, a certain size grip will hold a certain number of rounds.

There are plenty of choices out there. As I said in the beginning, this is a solution to a non-existent problem. Want a small gun, carry the 43, want more rounds, carry the 43X and/or extra magazines.
