Which M&P Shield mag do you perfer and why ?

[dr g]

after a few rounds through your shield , what is your go to magazine ( flush or extended ) and why ?

 

[mag318]

I have large hands but prefer the flush 7 round magazine. This is just based on the feel of the Shield in hand. After handling one at the NRA convention I ordered one which I have yet to receive, hopefully next week. I did order 3 additional 7 round mags for it.

7 round one , feels better in my hand and fits in front pocket easier.

I prefer the extended magazine. I like the full grip and find it more controllable / comfortable to shoot. But I will most likely carry it with the short mag.

 

[okc-zee]

I like the extended as well, but will carry with the 7 rounder...

 

[kris7047th]

Extended, has one more round.

 

[JustAnotherGunGuy]

Just got back from shooting my shield today and what a shooter. I really didn't feel a difference in the mag size while I was shooting. Guess I would use the extended mag simply for the extra round.

 

[ponchsox]

I prefer the extended mag. My pinkie hangs off the 7 round mag and causes me to re-grip after every shot.

 

[GKC]

Extended mag for me...I like the way the grip feels with it, and I don't with the 7 round mag. I bought a second Shield for my wife, so she won't take mine away, and so I can have her 8 round mag and give her my 7 round mag.

I prefer the extended myself. After shooting 150 rounds through mine today, I found I had some issues with the gun moving more in my hand during recoil with the shorter mag than the extended one. So I will be ordering more of the extended ones.

Smith & Wesson Shield

I just got mine today. I will shoot it tomorrow but at this point in time I believe the smaller magazine will be better for being concealable. I have a Ruger LC9 and a Taurus slim in 9 MM that I will be getting rid of, if the S & W is as good as everybody says that it is.

Haven't even tried the extended one. (Dont want to get spoiled)

 

[Knightrider03m]

7 rounder for pocket duty but 8 rounder for a backup mag duty

 

[Aahzz]

7 for carry, 8 as the spare.

If you want to swap your extended for my flat, let me know...

 

[Moonman]

I like the extended mag for my pinky finger. I carry a 1911 concealed, so I imagine that I'll make the Shield with the extended mag work.

7rnd for carry, 8 rnd for spare

+1 ...although I can get about 2.5 fingers on the flush grip, which is enough

 

[perfectcircle1]

I'll think about that! Thanks for the offer

 

[Delta_co]

+1 for the 8 rd. It fits my hand better. If anyone wants to trade their extended mag for my flush, let me know.

 

[gobblerslayer]

I like the flush fitting one better due to it fit better in my hand.

 

[Martimus]

I like 'em both!

The flush mag, however, is smaller and more practical for concealed carry...

 

[RobzGuns]

I prefer the 7 round mag. Fits better for pocket carry and I'm used to curling my pinky under the mag.
The 8 rounder will probably be kept in the box for the eventual day that the pistol may get traded, so it has all the original equipment, but all my spare mags will be 7 round.

Yeah, I like the flat, BUT I'd prefer a tiny pinky extension. The extended is too long, but perfect for a backup--assuming i figure out (or someone posts) how they fixed the slippage. I'm thinking a drop of super glue on both sides.

I may end up trading it or taking it off--I'm fine with the bare look IF I'm using a backup mag! ;o)

 

[pdq5oh]

I carry with the 7 rounder & use the 8 for a spare. The 7 rounder does make a difference under a T-shirt.

 

[Abacus]

I prefer the extended magazine but for carry I will use the flush magazine.

 

[Shielded]

I like the extended mag for a back-up or for the range, but will carry with the 7 rounder, and got an extra 7 rounder to carry. I like to have at least 4 mags with any of my guns, for rotation etc... Will probably get another 8 round extended mag when they become easier to come by.

7 round one , feels better in my hand and fits in front pocket easier.

+1 The Shield is a defense gun and the flush magazine coupled with low profile rear Big Dot night sights makes for a realistic quick draw pocket gun.
