I left the 7 round mag alone to see if it ever has a drop issue.

I bet S&W will eventually incorporate this mod to all the mags.
Brought my new shield to the range this past week and had it happen with my friend shooting it. Will look at the followers on my mags before shooting it anymore. Looks like a simple fix.
