How are the Shield magazines working out for you guys.
We have a couple and no troubles so far.
I bought 2 of them on their first run and they have ran flawless this entire time. Planning on getting a couple more down the road.

My mags that’s I purchased April 2020 initially ran fine but 7 months later is starting to have problems locking the slide back on the last round.
My setup - Glock 48 early gen with silver slide. Hyve mag catch, everything stock internal wise. Gun prob has 750-1k rounds so far.
I thought it was me riding the slide stop. Shot one handed and still had problems. Gun was carried so mags were constantly loaded with 15 rounds. Tried new mag catch (OEM and Shield arms steel), same issue. Even with an empty mag it will not lock back by manually cycling the slide. I pressed up on the mag and slide locks back. After some research SA has 10% more powerful springs that “fix” this issue. Contacted SA and they sent new springs right away.
Shits and giggles I also tried a few other things. My mag (with worn springs) in my buddies later gen G48 (black slide) works fine. Does the spring for the slide stop require less pressure? The mag appears to seat further in on his grip as well. Some people swapped Glock springs from their OEM 15 rounders in. Tried that and slide catches manually every time.
