Success of the new M&P Shield..

...For something less permanent (I hate to try gluing it to the mag body), you might try hairspray...

Great idea! And if you need to clean it up it should be easy enough.

If I ever buy small single stack pistol it will be second-hand (sadly) S&W4040 or S&W CS45. For pocket use I would except nothing but the R9.

As to #7, the sliding sleeve on the extended magazine - I slid mine up a little, put a drop of Gorilla glue on the flat side of the mag body, spread it a little with a toothpick, and slid the sleeve back down over it. Left it like that for a day to dry and no problems since. It was easy, and since I already had the glue, cost me nothing. If it comes loose I'll just glue it again.

The issue may be a little short sighted on the part of S&W but certainly not a deal breaker in my book. It's not near as big a deal as the grip safety on the Kimber I once had that didn't work.

Gorilla glue... You may never get the sleeve off!

I used a narrow strip of good ol' duct tape. Provides just enough friction.


Shoot more, talk less...

I think the demand alone says a lot about the positives of this gun. This is maybe the best "all purpose" gun I own. Mine has only about 500 rounds downrange but not any issues with any handload or commercial ammo. I did add an Apex sear for $40 which took all of ten minutes to put in. It lightened the trigger pull to just under 6#. It shoots as well as any of my full size guns. My only complaint is I would love to see more sight options available. I am sure they are being manufactured as I write this.
