The Shield Arms S15ME10INSBLK Extended Magazine Base Pad transforms standard capacity magazines into extended 10-round configurations. This precision-machined aluminum extension integrates seamlessly with Shield Arms S15 magazines to provide additional capacity while maintaining the slim profile that makes Glock 43X and 48 pistols ideal for concealed carry.
