Most current S&W mags have a mark like that on top of the follower.

I will probably be sanding mine down some; it's a little rough to carry, but I love it when shooting. I've had bad luck with Talons and other "sleeve" type grip changes.

About 2/3 in front part of my Shield has this big gap but the 1" area where trigger is has the gap also but U cant look to the other side there, my 2.0 has a big gap rear 1/2 of slide but U cant see to the other side in the mag area when mag is inserted!
Sadly many guns lately have huge gaps like the APX, CZ P10C etc..

The black marks are normal from certain manufactures. Every M&P I have seen has them until you put enough rounds down range that it wears off.

Both my Shield and 2.0 have those black marks on follower mine looked like done with a no.2 pencil and i was able to wipe them off very easy, thought maybe some mechanical test to make sure mag springs aren't locked?

The marks are from loading a round . Most likely to test fire
