For S15 Magazines in a Grip-Chopped Pistol

The sleeve is designed for Gen 3 S15 magazines run in a Glock® 43X or 48 converted by our S10 Grip Chop Service. It also fits Gen 1 and Gen 2 S15s, but the fit may not be as precise. On a factory 43X or 48 you don't need it.

What Is the S15 Magazine Grip Chop Sleeve?

The Grip Chop Sleeve slides onto a Shield Arms S15 magazine and restores full grip length when you run that S15 in a Shield Arms grip-chopped Glock® 43X or 48. Carry the flush S10 for concealment, and use sleeved S15s for full capacity as your primary or backup magazines. Polymer with a black Cerakote® finish, made in the USA.

  • Fits: S15 Gen 3 (Gen 1 and Gen 2 with a looser fit)
  • Use in: Shield Arms grip-chopped Glock® 43X and 48
  • Material: polymer, black Cerakote® finish
  • Install: slides onto the magazine until fully seated
Grip Chop Sleeve

Full Grip Length With an S15

A grip chop makes a 43X or 48 easier to conceal, and the S10 sits flush in the shorter grip. Some days you want the S15's full 15 rounds instead. The sleeve fills the space the chop removed, so your hand gets the full grip back whenever an S15 is in the pistol.

It works with any S15 option, including the S15 +2, +5 and +10 pre-installed magazines, for 15 to 25 rounds from the same pistol.

Grip-Chopped Capacity

One Pistol, 10 to 25 Rounds

The S10 sits flush at 10. Add this sleeve to an S15 and the same pistol runs 15, or up to 25 with S15 extensions.

* Runs with the Grip Chop Sleeve. See the Grip Chop Service.

Installation

Slide It On Until It Seats

To install, slide the Grip Chop Sleeve onto your S15 magazine until it's fully seated. That's it. Install one on each S15 you plan to run in your grip-chopped pistol. Your converted pistol already has the steel mag catch S-Series magazines need.

Questions

Grip Chop Sleeve FAQ

Do I need it on a factory Glock® 43X or 48?

No. The sleeve is for S15 magazines run in a Shield Arms grip-chopped pistol. On a factory frame, the S15 runs on its own.

Will it fit my older S15s?

Yes. It's designed for Gen 3 S15s and also fits Gen 1 and Gen 2, though the fit may not be as precise.

Does it work with S15 extensions?

Yes. Use it with any S15 option, including the +2, +5 and +10 pre-installed magazines.

How many do I need?

One for each S15 you plan to run in your grip-chopped pistol. Need a magazine too? The S15 Gen 3 with Grip Chop Sleeve includes both.

How do I install it?

Slide it onto the S15 magazine until it's fully seated.

What's covered?

Like every Shield Arms product, the sleeve has a lifetime warranty against manufacturing defects.

ODA Green

Used on: magazine extensions, magwells

ODA's (Operational Detachment Alpha) are the boots on the ground operational teams of a Special Forces Group. This color began as a special run for a deployed ODA. In continued support we have decided to continue the color as a standard offering and donate a portion of the proceeds to The Green Beret Foundation. Finish is anodized in green.

QPQ Nitrocarburizing Surface Treatment

Used on: magazines, barrels, slides

QPQ Nitrocarburizing is a type of surface treatment used to enhance the durability and corrosion resistance of metal parts. The process involves heating the metal in a controlled environment, where nitrogen and carbon are introduced to the surface of the metal. This forms a thin layer of a hard compound called "nitrides," which increase the surface hardness of the metal.

During the QPQ Nitrocarburizing process, the metal is immersed in a special salt bath and heated to high temperatures. The salt bath contains a mixture of chemicals that release nitrogen and carbon, which penetrate the surface of the metal. The process is carefully controlled to ensure that the nitrogen and carbon penetrate to a specific depth, creating a uniform layer of nitrides on the metal's surface.

The resulting nitride layer provides many benefits to the metal parts, including increased hardness, wear resistance, and corrosion resistance. This treatment helps to increase the lifespan and durability of metal parts, making them more reliable and long-lasting.

Any “scuffing” you see in the surface finish is completely normal, and will not affect the durability or corrosion resistance of the steel.

Electroless Nickel Plating

Used on: magazines

Silver electroless plating offers superior electrical conductivity and corrosion protection with excellent deposit uniformity and adhesion properties. This bright, reflective finish provides outstanding solderability and contact resistance while maintaining the consistent thickness and coverage that electroless plating processes are known for. Black electroless nickel plating provides these same exceptional deposit properties - including lubricity, hardness, and corrosion resistance - but with a fully conductive and uniform black surface finish that combines superior performance with an attractive dark appearance.

This item is controlled for export by the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR). Please check your state and local laws regarding magazine capacity restrictions.
