    This gun with 750-1000 rds is dropping mags and not locking on last shot or manually on empty mag unless upward pressure applied to floor plate. Calling sw wed. Was an EDC but not anymore. Anyone else?

    I would think if your grip hasn't changed and the mags do the same thing that I'd strip it, clean it and put a good light on the mag catch for debris, wear or damage.

    No rail a cessories. Wife shot it with same result. Release is soft. I have a shield 9 that i shot side by side without a hitch. Mag release has more resistence.

    Isn't the obvious answer "you need to replace your mag catch/release?" Looks like they're fourteen bucks on eBay. Parts fail, especially on little guns shooting powerful rounds.

    Obvious is the problem involves either bad slot on magazine, bad magazine catch, or both . Same problems with multiple mags puts the odds on the mag catch .

    I emailed SW on 1/2 who responded next day with a form to return in order to generate a mailing label. Gun was sent by fed ex 1/4. SW said not to return mags which i questioned but did not. An interesting non shield post on another forum from a person who shoots min 1000 rds mo opinined platic parts simply wear out with use.
