Shield 9mm magazine spring
Apparently S&W still has not fixed this issue, as I just picked up a brand new 9mm Shield yesterday 6-18-2017 and upon test firing the gun today on the first attempt to reload the 7rd mag the follower jammed in the mag tube on round #5. Upon disassembling the mag found the magazine spring folded over just like everyone else. I find this completely irresponsible for S&W to be aware of this continuing issue for this long, on a firearm marketed purposely at the self defense market, without a focused effort to get it resolved. There has to be some serious liability attached to this issue if someone gets hurt due to the issue.
