Mine came with two. One 13-round magazine and one 10-round magazine.
Where are the Shield Plus Magazines?
- Thread starter curlysir
- Start date
Who's we??
Sig 365 mags AND hellcat mags were hard to find when they first came into the market. PLUS they were introduced BEFORE the pandemic and BEFORE this current administration which had basically halted everything/ anything to do with guns, ammo, training etc etc
I think S&W was smart on making a 10 round mag gun (and 13) For all those mag restricted states, S&W can sell to all 50 states (I think maybe NY is a 7 round state) Unlike the Springfield hellcat which has the 11 and 13 round mags. Do companies that big care about the 5 or 6 states that are mag restricted ? Prob not. But still a smart marketing move to be able to see to all 50 states. I have had problems with my shield mags in my Glock 43 so will stick to the factory 10 round mags. Also, I don't think everyone on this site are "Fan Boys" I do think we just Like guns (Gun Fan Boys?) The mags for the shield plus will come around soon trust me give it a few months

I live in CT and my pc 9 plus came with a 10rd and 13rd pinned at ten by my local shop at no extra charge, and they could have. I would be happy to have a couple more pinned 13's so at least I would have the extra finger hold. None to be found.
Yeah…no thanks. I get that the gun is new, but it’s been out for for weeks now, and there are none for online retail purchase.
With the number of different models they have, and the fact that the guns themselves are available, that’s a huge miss by Smith.
I was going to start carrying the Shield Plus after some use at the range to make sure it’s working ok, but may put that off and keep using the Sig or maybe even get a Hellcat RDP and let my older eyes try using a RDS.
Yeah... Cutting off loops is not the answer.
They are manufactured with that number of loops for a reason.

Here we are in mid May, still no mags for sale
Well the theory that magazines would become available about 30 days after the gun's March release is not holding water. Here we are in mid May. No magazines.
Getting on a wait list is the best I can do today. I'm not paying the price of a low-line pistol for one spare mag....

There are some 13-rounders available on GB right now for about $50 BIN price. A seller named Brohey has about 30 in stock as of this posting.

Assuming I had a Shield Plus, which I don't, the phrase "not on my watch" applies when it comes to $50 magazines for what will soon be a common or garden gun.

Yeah, but if you had a Shield Plus, you'd be in the same "spare mags made of unobtainium" boat as the rest of us.

Odds are whoever won that auction is going to back out. Based on my limited experience selling on GB that is all too common.

It's having 37 rounds on your body instead of 24. Lots of urban crime now involves gangs of MUY (minority urban youth).

The gun comes with one 10-round mag and one 13-round mag. I prefer the 13 rounders, both for hand fit and the extra rounds, and I like to carry 2 spare mags. As it stands, I have 24 rounds on board. With my Shield 1.0, I had 25. Two more 13-round magazines would put me at 40. That's the issue.

Thanks for weighing in, your opinion is very important to me!
Did you ever consider that some might prefer the 13 rd mag (or some might prefer the 10 rd mags) when shooting/carrying, and might actually want their magazine of choice as a spare (or 2) to carry?

Dang! I bought a 38 Regulation Police from that seller on the 9th! Would love to get two more 13 rounders!

Spats states my point of view exactly. The more rounds on the belt, the better. I'd been thru Sutherland Springs the week before that church massacre where nobody shot back inside, then NRA Instructor Stephen Willeford finally stopped it outside.
Most of us on church security agreed then to go full size 52 rounds. With the Shield Plus and 3 larger mags, I can still go compact 40 rounds appendix. More rounds is better. Appendix is faster.
A month later, I talked to the guy who lived there, that I bought wheels/tires from. He had lost two friends in that church.

I've been known to say: Only two men in history ever complained about having too much ammo. One was on fire and the other was trying to swim.
