Hi Smity......I've got 8 13 round mags for the Shield Plus PC, and only 4 would take a full 13 rounds, the rest, well getting the 12th round in is almost impossible. There's a different base plate on the 13 round mag, but I can't figure how to disassemble it??? Can you advise?? Thanks...

Shield Plus 13 Round Magazine I just purchased 4 brand new 13 round mags for the Shield Plus Performance Center 9mm. HOWEVER, none of them will hold 13 rounds!!!!!! They only take 11 rounds, and the 11th round is a bear to get in there! Did Smith now put the right springs in these...

Very disappointed in S&W for not having a supply of magazines available for the new Shield Plus!! If you want people to buy your product, plan ahead for the request for extra mags will be forthcoming!! Poor planning on Smith's part!! When will they be available, anybody know???

Me too........love the new Shield Plus with Red dot, but would like about 6 extra 13 rounds mags!! Poor planning on S&W's part!!!

The Allen wrenches that came with my new Shield plus Performance Center, do not fit the Crimson Trace screws for the red dot!! Also, cannot find any 13 rounds 9mm mags for this gun!!! Anyone else have this issue??

I just purchased the new Shield Plus 9mm. The 13 round magazine does not take 13 rounds of 9mm 115gr JHP!!! It'll only take 12 rounds!! When I tried 124gr 9mm round nose, it'll take the full 13!! Anyone have an idea why this is??? Thanks.....

Hey S&W: Do you have any plans to make an EZ 40 Caliber Shield?? Sure would love one. My current Shield is getting harder to rack as the arthritis gets worse!! Please!!

I'm trying to find out the current value of a pristine condition S&W Model 29-2, Bright Blue, 6" bbl, with original wood presentation case in excellent condition with tools and paper work? It's pinned and recessed and only has 12 rounds through it! Was an estate purchase 5 years ago. TIA...

As a retired LEO with 32 yrs on the job, while in uniform and plain clothes, I always carried a BUG in an ankle holster. Now, I enjoy my everyday uniform of shorts and T-shirts, so a BUG is really impractical for me! My everyday carry is a S&W M&P full size 40 cal., with two mags near by. I no...

Yes, it pushes up easy....

All of a sudden, my slide lock lever on my Shield is almost impossible to push up to lock the slide back. Never had this issue before as it was always easy to push up! I field stripped and cleaned it and oiled it really good, but still hard to push the slide lock lever up!! My Shield has never...

WHAT???????? Can't hear you!!!

I just read that S&W is coming out with a ported Shield!! Both the barrel and slide is ported. Also new fiber optic sights! I've had my Shield since they first came out. Already passed the 2000 round mark and not one problem with the gun. Why would porting the Shield make any big...

$400 for a used Shield with T Night sights is a toss up. 1500 rounds thru it means it's not even broken in yet! I have a .40 cal Shield and I've put about 2K rounds through it with not one problem. When mine was new it cost me $375, put a set of Trijicon night sights on for about $125... My...
