Enhance your Glock® 43X or 48 with the Shield Arms S10 Grip Chop Service, allowing seamless use of both S10 and S15 magazines. Building on the innovation of our patented S15 magazine, this service ensures superior concealment, performance and reliability.
Starting with your Glock® 43X MOS or 48 MOS, we use precision CNC machining to trim the grip to perfection. Once modified, we install the S10 Magwell and standard steel mag catch, ensuring smooth functionality. Each pistol is test-fired for reliable performance and shipped back to you with (2) S10 Magazines..
This service is currently only compatible with OEM Glock® 43X/48 frames. We recommend using factory Glock® slide stops for optimal S10 compatibility and function.

Magazine Compatibility
Beyond the S10 and S15 magazines, the very versatile Shield Arms S10 Grip Chop Service also allows seamless use of the entire S-Series family of magazines, giving you a wide variety of conceal carry backup mag options, including:
Mag Catch Requirement
It is required to replace your plastic OEM mag catch with a steel mag catch for reliable operation. Using another manufacturer’s mag catch, or failing to upgrade a first-generation aluminum mag catch, may result in reliability issues. We highly recommend our high-quality Standard S15 Mag Catch for Glock 43X / 48 or our Premium S15 Steel Mag Catch for Glock 43X / 48 which are proudly Made In the USA.
