The mags for the shield are fairly easy to get ur hands on. Just about every place on the web has them for order. Granted they will cost u a little over $30 a piece. But u shouldnt have a hard time finding them at all.
I'm liking the .40 Shield converted to 9mm for playing around at the range. And its pretty sweet knowing on any given day u can shoot .40 or 9mm, which ever u prefer.
To the OP, there isnt much difference between the 9mm and 40 as far are recoil. Yes the 40 has a tiny bit more, but keep in mind the new design of the dual recoil spring seems to help it. The 40 handles recoil pretty damn good compared to other small frame weapons.
