That should feed just fine

I already fixed it with my Dremel. Yup, just modified the angle of the feedramp!

I received an email from MG today. My case was the first example of this type of malfunction and they are assuming that it was a defective part.

Replacement locking plate and baseplate are en route as a warranty replacement.

I'll report back accordingly.

Glad they're taking care of you. Hopefully none of the other mags or the new one experiences the same problem.

Man, that sure flowed into the conversation perfectly.
Well done, Sir!

Did you get the replacements and if so, were you able to test them out? How did it go?

Thank you!

Anyone ever had fail to feed issue? Rounds nose diving and getting stuck into the mag

Mine have been fine with the First Gen.

Over 300 rounds of WWB in one afternoon on 3 mags for a class with no failures.
Regular range practice with my Federal 147 JPH and never had a mag issue.

My apologies. Yes, the replacement arrived in less than a week. Test functioned and working without issue.

Multiple mag drops/changes. I could not repeat the issue.

I have not had that issue with Gen 1 or Gen 2.

Check the spring orientation. If you still have the same issue, email MG. They'll take care of you.

Awesome! Sounds like they're good to go! Appreciate your time, effort, expense and detailed posts for the rest of the CG community!

I will note that I have opted to use the kits on the extended mag and carry 10+1 with a spare 10. It's easy enough to conceal and feels like in between a compact/FS so I figured may as well carry that way and maximize round capacity.

I carry my compact pistols to begin with and conceal those easily. The Shield is just a bit more comfortable.

Thanks! Mag capacity for the win!

Also, how are you liking the TLR6? Any issues? Do you use the laser on it too or just the light?

Thanks again.

I don't have personal experience with the TLR-6. I have the Viridian RTL with ECR. I personally don't have a need for the laser so I don't see the need to switch to the TLR-6.

It is bulkier than the Viridian, but will likely have better holster selection because of popularity of Streamlight. Viridian will also be limited if you want he ECR ability.

Oh sorry about that. Yeah, personally not sure about the laser, but need to mount a light for HD duties(wife). Streamlight seems to be a popular choice.

Ok folks. I'm going to AIWB carry using the Zork Skinny Holster and since they do not support the Viridian at this time, I'm selling it off.

The RTL will come with original packaging, unused OWB holster that it came with (has ECR), extra Viridian batteries, and if you have an Alien Gear holster setup I can give you the shell for it too, but you'll have to source your own button magnet.

I'm also considering selling of the 3 sets MG gen1 springs (SOLD). The gen2 setup is performed and I trust them to work so I no longer have a use for the gen1.

You will get these for fair prices shipped if you're interested. I wanted to offer it up to you Shield folks first before putting it out on the main market. You've followed my progress and know what the deal is on these items already.

Send me a PM. I'll probably give it until April before putting it up in the main forum.
