Mine was fine for the first 150 rounds then both mags started to drop frequently. I sent it back and just received it back. They replaced both mag followers and that was it. Took about 6 weeks to get it back. I was skeptical of the repair, but I just put 220 rounds through it yesterday with...

Well, I'll be damned. It would appear that the folks at S&W made me whole with the new mag followers after all.....despite my initial extreme skepticism. I just ran through 220 rounds including Rem UMC FMJ, Blazer FMJ, Golden Sabre, and Federal HST. Absolutely flawless operation. Zero mag drops...

I'm pleased to report that punching is not needed in my case. It would appear that the folks at S&W made me whole with the new mag followers....despite my initial skepticism. I just ran through 220 rounds including Rem UMC FMJ, Blazer FMJ, Golden Sabre, and Federal HST. Absolutely flawless...

I agree. Seems like a bunch of tolerance stacking issues. I was eyeballing that spring too! Definitely a tad weak. I may wind up punching the mag frame as well as a workaround. Hate to do that on a carry gun for a bunch of reasons. Only other option is to keep sending it back or trading for...

My Shield .45 was back at S&W for over 6 weeks, and all they did was replace both mag followers. I'm taking it out today, but I have a hard time believing I just happened to have 2 bad mag followers causing mag drops. What exactly was wrong with the original followers? Bad lot? Bad design...

Well, 6 weeks later and my Shield .45 is back from warranty work. All they did was replace the mag followers in both mags and test fired. So, I just happened to have 2 different mags with bad followers and that is why this thing was dropping mags? Really? 6 week wait for THAT? I will take...

The best result would be: we found X part out of tolerance, replaced it, and tested it thoroughly with success, and if it happens again, we will replace the gun. It gets sketchy when they just Easter Egg the likely components and hope they got it. If it fails after going back once, then it...

Damn, that sucks bro. Just shippped mine back today. Customer Service guy was real nice. Seemed like he knew of the issue and said they definitely needed to check it out. Asked me if this was the first time I sent it back, so I had a hunch they are seeing return trips for the problem. I too...

Nah, I made damn sure it wasn't me. Verified solid mag engagement and was nowhere near the mag release button. Just insufficient mag to mag catch engagement along with some excessplay between the mag and the mag well. All of the above are stacking up to allow the mag to drop under Recoil...

Um, yeah LAA....I shined a light in and looked all by myself. It looks fine, but she no work. I dare say the catch is undersized providing minimal engagement and recoil is sufficient to cause it to disengage. Could be a design issue, could be a manufacturing anomaly. Your right, it's a...

Yes, same problem here developed after about 150 rounds. Both magazines and frequency is getting worse. Definitely not me. At first I just thought I may have hit the mag release or maybe did not fully seat the mags. I verified mags were in and engaged, watched to make sure I was not hitting...
