I enjoyed shooting my new Shield 45 today and when I disassembled the 7 round magazine for cleaning, I struggled to get it back together. After studying the architecture of the base and associated parts and an hour later, I got it back together. Don't know if there is a trick to re-assemble, but beware should you take it apart!

I feel ya, Col. The names I called those, (I've got two), seven rounders before I got them back together. Unless there is a trick I don't know about, it'll be a while before I break them down again.
