Over 80% of the "wonder 9's" use the same design of mag architecture with just the mag catch in another location.Have a look at magazines from makers and you will see, browning, hk, Springfield beretta ruger sig and others have all used this basic form factor in different pistols over the ages. And glock mags are pretty much the same steel liner as these other mags, then covered in a thin layer of plastic. I used 92f and m9 mags in my XD9 and my sd9ve by just cutting the catch hole in the right place. For glocks the slide stop engagement point is located much higher than the Beretta so you need to print a glock 17 follower, or glue in a small filler piece.
With the adapter super-glued in the correct place they fit the g17, and of course any thing shorter, g19 etc.
Conversely if you can use the adapter as a jig to mark and then just cut thru the steel and file smooth any of these mags especially the xd 15/16 rounds and the m9 magazines to fit the g43x and g48.
