Purchased the Shield 9mm +2 ( Z springs) conversion kits and they arrived today.
I have previously installed the +1 conversion Z Spring conversion kits for 2 of my Glock 43 mags, and while not easy to put on, they were doable.
The Z Springs in these packages are so stiff it is next to impossible to shove them into the mag well to be able to start to mount the base plate, more or less get seated.
The Z springs are not only stiff they are sharp and after three hours of attempts,I cut my fingers in couple of places and still couldn't get the damn things in. Watched two separate Youtube videos of dudes putting these on their Shield Magazines and it looked easy, not mine, and I doing it the exact same way they are showing on the videos.
I have a shout out to Magguts to see what the problem is, perhaps the wrong springs in the kit, or they are just dangerous and useless.
Anyone else have the same problem with the Shield +2 Z springs for the 9mm Shield?
