Can the Alpha Foxtrot S15 use the PSA Dagger Micro 15-Round Mag?
I’ve asked that question on at least one 1911 forum and was told that it wouldn’t work, but no one has tried.
I’m not interested in hearing assumptions.
It either will latch or it won’t
It will either release and drop free from the mag well effortlessly or not.
It should feed properly.
The Alpha Foxtrot S15 is built around Shield Arms S15 15-round mags, which are 3rd-Party mags made for the Glock 43X and the Glock 48. Because of that, the AF-S15 can also use the OEM G43X and G48 mags, although those particular mags have a 10-round capacity.
In the quest to check for yet another source of mags for the AF-S15, I’ve ordered one PSA Dagger Micro magazine, which has a 15-round capacity and can be used with G43Xs and G48s.
I saw that PSA had the mags in stock. I ordered a blem mag with the Micro Slick finish, for $29. Shipping was $9.99 and the total was $40.72 (shipping is always a lot and I didn’t need anything else from PSA).
Note that the Dagger Micro mags are polymer-coated, even around the mag latch area, which means that this will be a wear point, as the AF-S15 uses a metal mag catch within it’s mag well. I’m also curious if the mag will slide easily into and out of the mag well, and also unlatch without hangup issues.
I ordered one mag to test, initially, as I didn’t want to order 2-3 only to find that they won’t work.
The test results will determine if I order more (specifically for range use).
I’ll share my findings with the rest of the world, as I keep seeing folks asking this question or outright verbally assuming that the Dagger Micro mags will work with this gun.
