Glock 43X PSA Magazine Compatibility - Any Recommendations?

Looking for Advice on Glock 43X and PSA Magazines

I’ve been doing some digging into the Glock 43X and want to make sure I’m picking the right magazine options, particularly those from Palmetto State Armory (PSA). I’m curious to hear from others who have experience with these magazines.

Questions I Have:

  • Compatibility: Are PSA magazines completely compatible with the Glock 43X, or have people run into any issues?
  • Performance: How do the PSA magazines compare to stock Glock magazines in terms of reliability and capacity?
  • Best Options: For those who have tested both, which PSA magazine would you recommend for everyday carry or range use?

Additional Thoughts:

  • I’m also interested in any tips for upgrades or modifications that might improve magazine performance. Has anyone tried modifications?
  • If there are any specific forums or resources where I can find in-depth reviews or comparisons, please share!

I appreciate any help or insights you can provide. Looking forward to hearing your thoughts and experiences!

That’s interesting! Is it just a quality control issue with PSA? I really need a reliable mag for my 43X.

I’ve used PSA magazines with my Glock 43X without any problems. The fit was snug and functioned well. Just make sure you check the follower design.

How does the follower design affect performance? I’m not sure what to look for.

The follower can impact both feeding and reliability. A good design will help prevent jams. Always test a few magazines at the range before relying on them in self-defense.

It’s a good point about testing before use! A joke: Why did the magazine go to school? To improve its accuracy!

Haha! That’s a good one! Seriously though, I want to ensure that I’m grabbing the best options available without breaking the bank.

I’ve always found PSA to be affordable, but cross-check reviews before buying. Fit can vary with aftermarket products.

Has anyone had issues with weight differences? I’ve noticed some magazines feel heavier than others, impacting usability.

I never thought about that! Weight could potentially make a difference in how they perform in practice.

Weight can affect comfort and carry ability, especially for concealed carry. It’s definitely a factor to consider when choosing magazines.

Don’t forget about the finish on the magazines. A poor finish can lead to rust or other issues down the line. Anyone have experiences they could share?

That’s a crucial detail! I suppose it all boils down to how much effort we want to put into maintaining them.

Absolutely! Maintenance can be a hassle, but it’s worth it for peace of mind. At the end of the day, trust your magazines to perform when needed most.

I’m really interested in the PSA magazines for my Glock 43X. I’ve heard mixed reviews. Anyone have firsthand experience?

I’ve been using PSA magazines for over six months now. They function well most of the time, but I did experience a couple of jams during rapid fire.

I’ve had the opposite experience with PSA mags, they have been flawless for me. They’re affordable, and I’ve had no failures at all.

That’s concerning! I’ve heard that proper maintenance can help improve reliability with these mags.

It’s good to see mixed feedback! I guess it depends on the individual gun and the ammo used. Have you tried different ammo types?
