Default .45 PC Shield Magazines Sticking

Hi all,

I searched through dozens and dozens of “Shield .45 magazine sticking” (search terms I used), but found none with issue I’m having.

Bought a new Performance Center .45 Shield. When I put 50 rounds through it on first range trip, only magazine #3 stuck (had to really, really, really press on release to extract magazine). #1 and #2 came with Shield, #3-#7 from Mag Warehouse but original SW and new. Naturally I thought it was just a defective magazine.

However now all magazines are doing it, though I did learn if I push and hold the magazines farther into the magazine well, the magazine release operates normally.

Is this something that will work itself it out with usage, something I can fix myself, or something I’ll have to send in for repairs? Thanks in advance for any insight.

I was surprised reading the overarching problem from posters seemed to be magazines falling out...no way they’re going to fall out of my Shield.

If it was just one magazine sticking, I'd say it was the magazine. However, since all your magazines are now sticking, it's probably not the magazines. One thing you might try is cleaning the gun and magazines thoroughly, although with just firing 50 rounds, it shouldn't be that dirty. If that doesn't work, and I'm guessing it won't fix your problem, you need to contact S&W customer service. With that many mags sticking, I'm guessing it has to be your mag release.
