I've owned my Shield 9mm for about 3 years now and it has been my EDC since new. I have used a DeSantis thumb break scabbard (left hand) every day of those 3 years. Yesterday I had something unnerving occur. I felt some unusual movement under my shirt and when I put my hand over the spot in question I realized that the magazine was loose in the mag well. After seeing to the problem in a restroom I cut my day short and went home to further investigate.
What I noticed right off was that the holster does not cover the mag release - remember, left handed holster. I really like the holster and would rather not replace it.
Any input will be greatly appreciated.
All this leads me to my questions - Can the mag release button on a Shield 9mm be moved to the opposite side of the pistol? Will a gunsmith be willing to do this, or will I have to see if S&W will do it? I won't even attempt this myself - arthritis.
