Have not been able to test at the range, but I just ran this little test downstairs.
All tests ran without a round chambered.
Serial # DXP21XX
1. Magazine empty - Inserted 6+1 mag
A. Wiggled mag back and forth (slide open) and pulled.
Would not disengage
B. Closed side (no round chambered).
Wiggled mag back and forth and pulled.
Would not disengage.
C. Repeated all tests with 7+1 mag with identical results.
2. Magazine full - Inserted 6+1 mag
A. Wiggled mag back and forth (slide open) and pulled.
Would not disengage
B. Closed side (no round chambered). Wiggled mag back
and forth and pulled. Would not disengage.
C. Repeated all tests with 7+1 mag with identical results.
Will run a complete test the next time I go to the range, hopefully tomorrow if all goes well.
Well I went to the range, and my future son in law and I ran 100 Win white box fmj's through my 40 shield. Not a single mag drop.
I spent time part of the time pulling on both inserted mags, no round in chamber, and one round chambered from full mag.
I did this with both mags. The 6 round mag felt loose and wiggled quite a bit, but did not come out.
The 7 round mag seemed tighter, and did not wiggle as much. It remained in the gun.
I also pushed down on the loaded mag from above, with the slide locked open.
Again, with both mags, the 6 round wiggled and was a little loose, the 7 round was tighter, and had little movement. Neither one could be forced out.
I do, however, have 2 problems with my Shield:
1. I don't get to shoot it often enough!

2. I seem to have an accuracy problem caused by sub standard mechanics located on the back side of the grip.
