To directly answer this question, I have tried and demonstrated +1 loading with Shield 7 round magazines with no particular problem other than it takes a great deal of force to fully seat the magazine. Rather than "slapping" it in, I use the heel of my left hand against the bottom of the magazine and press hard until the magazine fully locks in. Possible to do when preparing a gun for carry, but not the sort of thing to do when you're in a hurry under stress.
It is possible, just takes a lot of force.
