I understand that S&W revised the original follower due to complaints concerning the mag release and feeding.

Can someone either post of email me pictures of their revised follower sides so I can compare to mine (I have 10) before I reach out to S&W for new followers ?

Thanks.

Member Mustangman in this older thread shows a pic of both old and new followers, arrow on page points to the relieved edge that the new followers have.

I got some new followers from S&W a month ago, and it seems like my new ones had a vertical notch in the right corner, unlike his pic.
I'll see if I can find another pic in some threads, failing that, I'll just take a pic of one of my mags.

Thanks. I acquired most of mine over the past two years or so, from different sources new, and all had the old followers. Guess I will be calling S&W tomorrow.

Took a pic of one of my new style followers, and they don't look like the new one in mustangman's pic.
Mine don't have that recess running along the right side, but have a notch in the left front corner. Waiting for the pic to load but it's taking forever.

Here are some photos from previous threads.
Photo 1 shows the old and new followers side-by-side. The lower follower with the arrow pointing to it is the redesigned one. Notice the vertical notch/groove at the right front. That's what you should look for. If you have followers like that one you're up-to-date.

Photo 2. Redesigned one in the magazine.

Photo 3. Close-up view of a redesigned follower.
