Picked up my new Shield Plus Performance Center and took it to the range. Very impressed after 100 rounds. When I got home field stripped to clean but really didn't pay attention to the spring direction. The pic in the manual shows different spring than mine. Mine is orange on one end, black on the other. Any know which end goes towards the front of the gun? It was too late to call S&W, which I can do tomorrow. Thanks in advance.

Thank you for the reply. I gave Smith Customer Service a call today.

Is this your 1st firearm?
 
Rugernut - no, not my first firearm, but first S&W 9mm and when the pic in the manual doesn't match what's in your hand, I wanted to eliminate doubt. Posted here because at the time I did the strip, S&W customer service was closed for the day. A quick 2 minute call the next morning validated everything, and the rep also looked at the manual and verified it did not match the schematics and was going to escalate. Thanks for your response.

The manual is common for regular Shield Plus and PC version.
But you are right, there are lot of confusions with pictures. Actually only two of them are for PC version without bringing any valued information.
