Epoxy the Shield 9mm 8-round mag spacer in place; any valid reasons to not do it?

I bought a second 8-round Shield magazine that just arrived yesterday.  Now I own two of the things, and like some of the posters in the locked thread below - it's hit me to epoxy the danged floating spacers into place.

1.) They are required
2.) They have to be in place without some piece of debris getting in-between the spacer and the bottom mag plate
3.) They are loose (the one that came with the Shield, serial number HXU9xxx, so a recent one, is much looser than the spacer that came yesterday)
4.) If and when I buy a magazine holder for my belt to carry a spare, and with time and use the spacers getting looser, the spacer(s) would then be riding upside-down in a mag holder on the belt, which could allow them to slip - get a piece of debris or a clothing-catch on it, and that's a whole other set of problems if it slides off or gets spaced-out a few millimeters from where it needs to sit.

My idea is to put a wee-bit of epoxy on the steel of the magazine just where the sleeve/spacer/lack-of-engineering should be, then slide it down onto it.  Yes, I know that I don't want to epoxy the mag's base plate in place for later cleanings, spring changes and such.

My world will end painfully just... how(?) if I set them in place?  Thank you, ahead of time, for any good points here.

just get the talon grip  tape that tapes them together and gives a better grip.

also get the one for the grip also.

I used industrial rubber cement. Holds 'em tight but I can still remove them if needbe.

I use to shoot with the guy that runs safety solutions.  He came up with a new base pad and grip extension for the 8 round magazine that stays in place.  Should be on the market soon.

It's almost as if S&W was in cahoots with Magpul for them to develop a new base plate for it, lol.   At least some company is doing it.


I have a large sheet of the highest-end skate-board tape that talon seems to use.  I'll cut a piece and see what I think about it.  It's a good idea, as is rubber cement (of which I have none, and don't really want to go out and buy any for this teeny little project). ...  (Hmm... how about "DAP Clear Flexible Sealant" ?  I do have an opened bottle of that right here.)

DAP Clear Flexible Sealant it is.  Done and done with a very little amount.

I used blue loctite, holds well but removable if needed.

That's not a bad idea. I have some JB quick weld, but I have blue loctite too, and red.

Ditto.

I like those, although I would prefer an aluminum version ala 10-8 style for the 14 round M&P45 mags

I used a drop of Shoe Goo, think clear rubber cement, and it glues pretty much anything to anything. But I can still cut through it if needed. You can find Shoe Goo / Shoe Goop and hardware stores and the big box stores.
