Looks like 44mag.com has a few 7-round 9mm mags in stock right this instant. Put your name on the list for the 8-rounders. <http://www.44mag.com/category/s?keyword=shield>

We have the 7 and 8rd mags in stock (for less money) AND you would be supporting a forum sponsor. ;)

No worries. We are a S&W LE Distr. so it is always a good idea to check with us for parts, mags and guns.

Haha, I may have to get in on this also. I have been unable to find one anywhere.

Head over to gunbroker.com; that's where I got mine. Yep, I paid a premium, but in the long run I'm not going to remember the extra $75.

I have been trying to watch gunbroker but most of them are going for 500 or more, then with shipping and transfer cost it ends up being fairly expensive.

I don't want one that bad.

I got lucky, my LGS got two in. The first sold within the day. The other sat for three days. I just happened to stop in to show off my baby girl and saw it there...calling to me:D. Be sure to call your local spots.

I have pretty much given up my search for now. I will just wait until they actually start shipping meaningful numbers. My Raven Shield holster is getting pretty damn lonely though.

I got tired of calling everybody on "shipment" days. I am pretty sure the guy at the Academy gun counter started to recognize my voice. Teach them to tell me to call every Mon/Wed/Fri morning since those are the days they get shipments.

Yep, and when you add in half a dozen extra mags, a holster or two, shipping, and all the hoops I have to (pay to) jump through to get a non-rostered one here in California, the cost of the pistol itself starts becoming a much smaller part of the total cost to buy a new pistol! Lemme tell ya' about the $1,000 Shield I just bought... :blink:

I talked to a sales guy at one of the larger lgs. They have a waiting list of over 200. I'm guessing there won't be any available there for quite a while over the counter.

has anyone found a reliable method of securing the sleeve on the 8-rd mag so it doesn't slip or move around? I was thinking, hot glue, RTV, or plain old Gorilla glue. any suggestions???

Maybe JB Weld would do.

I'm not looking for anything permanent. I just want it to not move around so much. especially when loading the mag...

For good plastic to plastic adhesion I have used the this Loctite (http://www.loctiteproducts.com/p/4/2/sg_plstc/overview/Loctite-Plastics-Bonding-System.htm) with some success. I bonded a cut-down foregrip with it, which has been rock solid thus far, though not seriously abused. In your application it should work just fine. I wouldn't try any regular super glue on plastics, or even the two part mix stuff.

You might try Household Goop <http://www.thistothat.com/cgi-bin/glue.cgi?lang=en&this=Plastic&that=Plastic>.

thanks. that looks like it would work if I wanted to bond the sleeve to the base plate, but I don't. I actually want to bond the sleeve to the mag itself so it doesn't move and I still have the ability to remove the base plate.

I was thinking about RTV or some sort of rubbery "filler"to increase the grip. if it worked so that it permanently affixed it to the mag body itself, that would be OK too...

Ah, that makes sense. Try JB Weld or Faststeel instead. <http://www.thistothat.com/cgi-bin/glue.cgi?lang=en&this=Plastic&that=Metal>

The is one of the only minor downsides of MecGar being the exclusive manufacturer for S&W mags...

That said, I don't want to know what Grant had to do in order to secure what seems to be the only remaining stock of 8rd Shield mags.

Nice! You also had the best prices I've seen on 17rd M&P mags as well, so I bought some of those too... Thanks.

There are several 40's locally here in ET, but few 9mm's. I picked one up at Sevier Indoor Range (Sevierville) and there was another at JFloyds Sports.

RTV is great for non permanent stuff like the mag sleeve.. Ron

Is there a LEO discount on the S&W Shield mags and guns?
