It is a poor design but can be overcome with a little epoxy.

It is a horseshit poor design. Makes me reconsider my original choice. Ruger LC9s Pro is looking solid right now.

Non existent problem for me.
I carry a Shield 9mm on duty, and have to not only qualify but train with it as well. Two handed reloads, one handed reloads, shooting from cover, judgmental shooting with nary a problem. My 8 round mag sleeves aren't glued, and the mags have always seated just fine. Stripping the mags weak handed is a pain in the thigh, but it can be done and I like the pistol so well I can overlook it. |

I don't like the design but I have never had an issue with seating mags because of it. I have initially pulled the sleeve out of place during practice and still have never had an issue.
I did decide to glue the sleeve in place anyway. |

I have three 8 rounders for my Shield 9. Never have had an issue with the sleeves. Have done normal slow reloads and many fast ones on the range, training, qualification for off duty carry, etc.

I used locktight go2 general purpose glue. Its basically a slow setting super glue and give you more time to get it in the proper place.
I glued the sleeve to the mag body so I can still remove the baseplate to clean the mags. I tilted the sleeve so it has a gap at the front and back, put glue in the gap and then tilted the sleeve back in place. After I got the sleeve where I wanted it down against the baseplate I remove the base plate and wiped off the excess glue. This was done without the spring and follower to make the baseplate easier to get off and on. |

Shield 9 now back on my list, will definitely do this with the extended mag if I go this way. Have to say the LC9s Pro looks really good too, although extended mag is extra $ but it is 9 rounds while the Shield is 8 rounds. LCP II will be for BUG. Carrying either with extended mags is my interest. Comments welcome... |

I don't have experience with them, but I think MagGuts will give you +1 with the factory baseplate or +2 with their baseplate that adds ~1/4". That would put the Shield at 9-10 rounds with the "8rd mag". |

I have carried mine daily for 2 years and never had an issue. I have about 2K rounds through mine and multiple 8 rounders with "the sleeve" you talk about and it has never caused an issue with me seating the mag. The Daughter and Son each have one as well. Never had an issue. cp |

I realize over insertion maybe a problem, but I have yet to have any issues. I wish 10-8 made baseplate a for the shield mags like they did for the extended .45 mags |

Got the Shield 9 and picked up the Loctite. Sleeve is not moving anywhere. Good to go.
Nice little pistol. |
