Shield Plus after market Mag release options to address aggressive stippling concerns

[Yankee Bill]

Hi folks,
I recently purchased a new Shield Plus as an upgrade to my EDC Sheild 1.0 which I love, and have been using since 2015.
However, I'm not a fan of the new aggressive stippling on the Plus' mag release.
I CC both IWB and OWB as circumstances and garment choices may dictate, and as I've heard others mention, that aggressive stippling on the Plus' mag release reeks havoc on my bare skin when I CC IWB, as I don't care to wear undergarment tops.

So, I was wondering if anyone that has had this issue has replaced their mag release with an aftermarket, and if so, can provide a link.
I really prefer not to grind, file or use some type of tape on the original release.
I also do not want to buy a new holster that will cover the mag release, if possible, as I already have a couple (that do not cover it) which I use and like.

Appreciate any info you may have to offer.

I always wear an undergarment and have never had an issue with the OEM mag release. It worked for me. I didn't find it too aggressive either.

However, I wanted an extended release, so I didn't have to adjust my grip while doing a mag swap. I bought the one from NDZ performance gun parts labeled: "NDZ Extended Magazine Release for Smith & Wesson Shield Plus" and have it on both of my shield plus pistols as well as the one for the 9EZ. I just checked their website, and they are out of stock. I'd go to their website and check it out.

It doesn't have stippling on it like the grip so maybe that will help you out.

I did see them before while searching but figured they'd be "out of stock" for quite a while so kept looking elsewhere.
But I did just go back and got on their "notify me" list, so hopefully they'll be back in stock before too long.

As with you, that will also solve my problem with grip adjustment also.

I read one of the product reviews there stating that it didn't come with the necessary parts to install it. Im not sure what else would be needed, but I'm guessing that comment may be referring to a different item.

Did you encounter any issues with the installation?

Thanks again for the info.
