If you shoot a Glock 43X or 48, picking up a few extra magazines is never a bad idea, and ETS has been one of the more talked-about aftermarket options in this space. This Carbon Smoke 10-rounder sits flush with the grip, runs the same 9mm capacity as the factory mag, and brings a handful of thoughtful design touches that make it worth a look.
The headline feature is the translucent carbon smoke polymer body. It is not just a cosmetic thing; being able to glance down and see exactly how many rounds are sitting in the tube and what kind of ammo you have loaded is genuinely useful, whether you are at the range cycling through multiple mags or keeping one staged at home. The body is built from an advanced polymer formulated for impact resistance, chemical resistance, and superior tolerance to heat, cold, and UV exposure. The creep-resistant feed lips and body mean the magazine will not spread or deform even when stored fully loaded for extended periods.
Inside, a non-tilt follower and high-tensile steel spring work together to keep rounds feeding consistently. The specially designed baseplate is wider than a stock Glock floor plate, which makes it easier to get a grip on when pulling from a mag pouch. It is also tool-free to remove, so cleaning and inspection are straightforward. The baseplate is compatible with most aftermarket Glock-style floor plates if you want to swap things out.
This magazine is manufactured in the USA by Elite Tactical Systems Group and comes with their lifetime warranty. It is purpose-built for the Glock 43X and 48 platforms only and will not cross-fit other Glock models. If you are building out a spare mag kit or just want a range-friendly backup with a little more personality than a plain black factory mag, this ETS Carbon Smoke is a practical pick at a price that is easy to justify.
Yes, the SMK-GLK-43X is specifically designed for both the Glock 43X and the Glock 48. These two pistols share the same magazine well, so one magazine works in both. It will not fit other Glock models like the G43, G19, or G17.
This is a standard-capacity 10-round magazine designed for a flush fit with the grip of the Glock 43X and 48. It matches the factory magazine's capacity and profile, so it will not add any grip length or print differently than your OEM mag.
Yes. The ETS Carbon Smoke magazine is compatible with most aftermarket floor plates designed to fit Glock magazines. The baseplate itself is also tool-free removable, so swapping it out or cleaning the internals takes very little effort.
The carbon smoke polymer ETS uses is formulated for impact, UV, chemical, and temperature resistance, and the feed lips are creep-resistant so they will not spread when stored fully loaded. Like most aftermarket polymer magazines, these are best suited for range use and training rather than serving as a primary carry magazine where you would typically rely on OEM.
ETS backs this magazine with a lifetime warranty against defects in materials and workmanship. If you run into an issue with the magazine, ETS customer service has a reputation for being responsive and working with customers to make things right. It is always worth reaching out directly to them with any specific warranty questions.
Yes. Elite Tactical Systems Group manufactures their magazines domestically in the United States. They have built their entire lineup around American-made production and use proprietary injection molding processes to produce their polymer magazine bodies.
