M&P 9 Shield Magazine - 8 Round

Factory Shield 9mm Magazine

This is the Smith & Wesson factory magazine for the M&P Shield 9mm, holding eight rounds of 9mm Luger. It is the extended Shield magazine, with a polymer baseplate that adds a finger rest, so your little finger has somewhere to sit on a pistol with a short grip. Shield owners who carry concealed buy it as a spare to keep on the belt, a replacement for a worn magazine, or a second one for range days.

Features

• 8-Round Capacity — Holds eight cartridges in a single-stack column, meaning the rounds sit one directly above the other to keep the magazine slim enough for the Shield's narrow grip.
• 9mm Luger Chambering — Built for 9mm Luger, also sold as 9x19mm, and marked "9mm" on the body.
• Stainless Steel Body — The tube is stainless steel, which resists rust from sweat and holster carry better than plain blued steel.
• Finger Rest Baseplate — A textured black polymer floorplate extends the grip, giving your little finger a ledge to rest on for a steadier hold.
• Numbered Witness Holes — Holes down the back of the body, numbered 3 through 8, let you see at a glance how many rounds are loaded.
• Smith & Wesson OEM — Made by Smith & Wesson as an original factory part, stamped with the S&W logo, not a third-party copy.
• Grey Polymer Follower — The follower, the part the spring pushes up to present each round, is a light grey polymer that is easy to see when the magazine is empty.
• Light Carry Weight — It weighs about 0.30 lb empty, so a spare adds little to your belt or pocket.

Fit And Construction

The magazine is made for the M&P Shield chambered in 9mm. It will not fit Shield pistols in other calibers or the double-stack M&P full-size and compact models. The body is formed stainless steel with a polymer baseplate, and the textured panels on the baseplate match the grip texture on the pistol frame.
