Product Description
The Shield Arms Z9 Starter Kit upgrades your Glock 43 with a higher-capacity magazine setup designed to maintain the reliability Glock owners expect. Using Shield Arms’ patent-pending magazine geometry, the Z9 increases capacity by allowing rounds to stagger for a 50% increase in capacity while keeping a similar overall footprint to an OEM Glock 43 magazine with a pinky extension. This kit includes one Z9 magazine with a durable Powercron finish and a black nitride steel mag catch/release for improved compatibility and performance.
Product Highlights
- 9-round capacity for increased on-board ammunition in a Glock 43-compatible magazine
- Patent-pending staggered-round geometry provides more capacity while preserving reliable function
- Same length as an OEM Glock 43 magazine with pinky extension for carry-friendly fit
- Easy-to-remove, impact-resistant base pad for durability and maintenance convenience
- Includes a black nitride steel mag catch/release; proudly made in the USA
