The ETS Group SMKGLK43X19 extended magazine transforms Glock 43X and 48 pistols into higher-capacity platforms without sacrificing concealability. This 19-round magazine extends capacity by 9 rounds over factory magazines while maintaining reliable feeding and function.
What Makes This Different
Unlike steel magazines that add significant weight, this polymer construction keeps the loaded weight manageable for extended carry. The translucent smoke polymer body allows visual ammunition counts at a glance, eliminating guesswork during tactical reloads. ETS magazines feature a proprietary polymer blend that resists impact damage and chemical exposure better than standard polymer alternatives.
Key Features
- 19-round capacity extends Glock 43X/48 from 10 to 19 rounds

Range testing demonstrates consistent feeding with various 9mm ammunition weights from 115 to 147 grains. The extended length makes this magazine suitable for competition shooting where capacity restrictions don't apply, while the slim profile maintains compatibility with most Glock 43X/48 holsters. The smoke coloration provides tactical appearance while maintaining the functionality benefits of translucent construction.
