Overview
This is the factory Glock 15-round magazine for the single-stack-width G43X and G48 pistols. Glock, the Austrian maker whose pistols are standard issue for many police forces and a common choice for civilian carry, builds the magazine to the same tolerances as the pistols it feeds.
The standard magazine for these slimline pistols holds 10 rounds. This extended version holds 15 and keeps the same narrow body width. The base plate is a little taller than the flush 10-round version, so it gives the little finger more to grip.
An orange follower makes it easy to see that the magazine is empty. Genuine factory magazines are the safest way to keep a Glock feeding reliably.
Key Features
- 15-round capacity in a slim 9mm body gives five more rounds than the standard 10-round magazine.
- The steel-lined body holds its shape through repeated loading and dropping, so feed lips stay consistent.
- The orange follower is easy to see and helps prevent tilting under spring pressure.
- The polymer base plate has an extended profile, which gives a fuller grip on a compact pistol.
- The Glock logo and 9mm marking are on the body, so it is easy to tell apart from other magazines.

Fit and Compatibility
This magazine is made for the Glock 43X and Glock 48, which share the same slimline frame. Both pistols accept the 10-round and 15-round magazines. It does not fit the Glock 43, which is narrower, or full-size double-stack Glocks such as the G17 or G19. Check that the pistol is a 43X or 48 before ordering.
Who It's For
Owners of a G43X or G48 who want more capacity for carry, or a spare magazine that is more comfortable to hold. Buy several if you train often, because rotating magazines spreads wear on the springs.
Care and Maintenance
Strip the magazine now and then and wipe the body and follower with a dry cloth. Do not oil the inside, since oil collects dirt. Rotate the magazines you use, and replace the spring if feeding becomes sluggish.
FAQ
Does it fit the Glock 43? No. The Glock 43 has a narrower frame and takes its own magazines.
Is it a genuine Glock? Yes, it carries the Glock logo and is the factory part.
Does the longer base plate change how the pistol sits? It adds a little grip length, and the pistol is still compact.
