Just a generalized reaction, to comments in this thread, as well as other threads of this type. With the Shield, it's really a easy product to shine a flashlight in the mag well. A problem should be very obvious. If something is broke, it's broke. If anything is catching the mechanism, then clean it out.

Perhaps I should have used the word "evident" instead of "viable". I understand that the spring is easy to see ( as in all M&P's). My point is that the fact that it's there and in place does not give you a 100% solution to the probable cause. In the case of my Glock, the problem was not obvious at all (and was not the spring). It was eventually solved by methodical parts inspection, comparison and replacement.
