Smith & Wesson Shield 9mm +2 MagGuts™-High Capacity Magazine Conversion
This conversion adds just 1/4″ to the length of the magazine and adds 2 rounds! The extra 1/4″ does little to decrease the ability to conceal while adding just enough for a firm pinky grip.
This is our third version of the Shield MagGuts™ conversion and it is better than ever! We developed a revised ZeeSpring™ profile that adds just a little more spring force while compressing to a shorter height providing space for the new polymer follower. The lock plate is now attached to the spring as one piece for simplicity and ease of assembly. The short MagGuts extension with the OEM-like follower and ZeeSpring™ combine to get you two extra rounds in a super reliable magazine.
-Converts the 7 round magazine to 9 rounds while keeping it shorter than the S&W 8 round magazine
-Convert the 8 round magazine to 10 rounds by adding only 1/4″
-Maintains reliable feed and slide lock operation
-Easy to install
-Compatible with original S&W 9mm magazines only.
-Not compatible with Shield .40
-Patented & Patent Pending.
Not compatible with EZ or Plus models.

Great product, fast shipping, works well! Cant beat 2 extra rounds without extending the original magazine! No complaints.
Allan H. (verified owner) –
love how i get two extra rounds and it is only a 1/4″ bigger both magguts that i have recieved have worked flawless
Michael E. (verified owner) –
These are perfect. They work better than factory springs, and they should come with the gun. I’ve not had a single failure and I’ve put about 10K rounds through five of these (total, not each).
Keith H. (verified owner) –
I am very pleased with the MagGuts system. I installed this on my Smith & Wesson Shield 9mm. Installation was a breeze! I took this pistol to the range the next day and fired several full magazines without the first problem! Great product! Hope you make one for a Glock 42 soon!
Michael A. (verified owner) –
I beat up my modified mags on an indoor range and then on a wet, muddy outdoor range with any number of drops onto concrete, mud, water, and sand. There were no malfunctions. After my testing, I trust the modified magazines for concealed carry.
George r. (verified owner) –
Couldn’t b better
Donald H. (verified owner) –
Works great !! I’m getting another one for my other magazine works smoothly and no problems
Michael G. (verified owner) –
I converted four M&P Shield 9MM 8-round magazines to 10 rounds. I have put hundreds of rounds through them flawlessly. Highly recommend the Magguts conversion kit.
Carl V. (verified owner) –
This my 3rd and 4th plus two kits. No issues, failure free. Was pretty much an automatic order when I received the additional mags.
Douglas V. (verified owner) –
I have two M&P Shields 9mm & .40 S/W……MY Daughters Have MagGuts in their M&P Shields 9mm’s…Love how they enhance the performance & Capacities of the Magazines….Doug
Dylan S. (verified owner) –
Great
Patrick (verified owner) –
Magguts is the perfect answer to what S&W should’ve done in the first place. These work Like a charm.
robert.west (verified owner) –
The magguts +2 I received had no chance of being more than a +1 in my 8 round magazine. That’s disappointing, when you spend money and end up with a 9 round magazine that is bigger than your 7 round magizine with a +2. Luckily, I had an older magguts +2 that was “worn in” with my 7 round mag. I put that one in my 8 round mag and the 8 round mag was then able to take 10 rounds. The 7 round mag was able to take 9 rounds with the new kit, but there was no way in hell the 8 round mag was gong to take 10 with the new kit. I tried taking it apart and reassembling it a few times. It’s not brain surgery. I would’ve sent it back, if it weren’t for my previously “worn in” magguts +2 that I’ve used with my 7 round mag. I’m giving it a 2 stars because at least I was able to put it to use. I would’ve responded to this rating privately, but the link provided in their email didn’t work either.
Matthew G. (verified owner) –
Easy to install and works great. Now I can carry the maximum allowed rounds (in my oppressive state) in a nice compact package.
Steven L. (verified owner) –
Followers are far better than OEM offerings. Reliability has been 100%. Don’t carry my Shield without these. Makes a great CC package even more formidable with the extra capacity. P.S.–Please, oh please make a product like this for my Desert Eagle!!
Raul C. (verified owner) –
The magguts magazine internals are a great way to up your capacity but when I was practicing mag changes with empty mags the mag that was dropped would have the follower “which pushes up on the round” would come about half way out of the magazine which I didn’t expect to happen but it did and that is my only problem with it great for a self defense carry but I wouldn’t go to war with them
Luis B. (verified owner) –
This is the best way to add rounds to your handgun. Love the +2 for the 8 round mag. 10 plus one in the pipe. I would definitely recommend this product.
Brian C. (verified owner) –
A little tricky to get in but well worth it. Function flawlessly.
Jonathan G. (verified owner) –
Installation was easy with the instructions provided. Mags functioned live-fire just fine with new follower and guts. The extra 2 rounds are a little more peace-of-mind with concealed carry. Great product!
Kenneth W. (verified owner) –
No hiccups or malfunctions after 500 rounds; I don’t anticipate any in the future.
Robert H. (verified owner) –
So far impressive. No problems. Cycles through the entire magazine.
Chun H. (verified owner) –
The extended plate with 7 round Mag fit my hand like a glove. Now I have 9+1 round in my shield, carry with confident.
Anthony B. (verified owner) –
It only holds a stiff +1. Go on m&p website and get the +2 way cheaper and actually works.
Thomas M. (verified owner) –
After I got the knack of feeding the spring into the magazine body it was much easier to complete the job. Seven round mag turned into a nine round mag… A Very cool feature for the shield.
Timothy L. (verified owner) –
No failures no issues would be better if it incorporated factory texture pattern
James W. (verified owner) –
Now do it for the 8 round Chip McCormick power mags and the 1911 will reign supreme.
Andy P. (verified owner) –
Bought the complete +2 magazine kits for my S&W Shield 9mm. Easy change out and so far they worked flawlessly. Time will tell, but so far so good. seems to be good quality and the fit and finish seemed great as well.
Christopher D. (verified owner) –
I really like them. If I had one suggestion, it would be to figure out a way to make the bottom of the mag flush so there’s no notch. It gets caught on my clothing sometimes.
Joshua C. (verified owner) –
no glitches after 300rds thru mp shld 9mm
Robert R. (verified owner) –
Installation is simple when instructions are followed. Mags have around 500 rounds through them with zero failures. The pistol remains surprisingly simple to conceal with the negligible length increase. Good buy!
Randall R. (verified owner) –
The best thing I did besides buying my smp I told some friends about it thy said thy are going to order some
Thomas V. (verified owner) –
When the product functioned properly it was great to have 10 rounds in my 8 round magazine. I head about 6 extraction or failure to feed malfunctions with about 500 rounds. To me this is not acceptable. Your customer service people were awesome and gave me a credit when I return the product. If you can get the reliability to be better I would try your product again.
Roger S. (verified owner) –
Ordered 2 they arrived as advertised. Install is a wee bit of an adventure, fits perfectly though. Shot 100 rounds without a single glitch. Carry them all the time now, don’t see any loss of concealment as I pocket carry. Will definitely buy 2 more for my other 2 mags. Will also buy for my other weapons they sell for.
Steven F. (verified owner) –
I am very happy with my purchase. As expected it increased my magazine capacity and even made it easier to load the last round into the mag. Thank you!
Dave R. (verified owner) –
Works great no jamming so far.
Joe B. (verified owner) –
Love them now I can carry 21 rounds of 9MM. No one has ever said I don”t mind going out with less ammo.
Brandon M. (verified owner) –
Reliable and only adds about 1/4″ to the mag length. For the Shield, my 7 round magazine with the MagGuts +2 is still shorter than the OEM 8 round magazine! The extra magazine capacity is a boost in confidence that I’ll be able to adequately engage any threat(s) I’d realistically encounter. Nothing is worse than running out of ammo in a gunfight. I’ve been there and it’s no fun…
Garry G. (verified owner) –
Felt like 8 rounds was the only drawback of the shield. Now that we have 10 rounds, it is a much better feeling that we have the ammo we need
Irving t. (verified owner) –
Very nice product
Marvin C. (verified owner) –
I purchased a +1 and a +2 kit. Both are easy to install and function flawlessly.
Julie D. (verified owner) –
Excellent product that functions perfectly. I couldn’t be more thrilled 🙂
Fredric H. (verified owner) –
It was no trick at all to install the MagGuts in my 8-round Smith & Wesson Shield magazines. And, they feed flawlessly. With one in the chamber, it’s very nice to have 11 rounds on board! Great Product 🙂
Randolph H. (verified owner) –
I purchased the MagGuts +2 extension for my Smith & Wesson M & P Shield 9mm. The installation was very quick and simple, and it functions flawlessly! Highly recommended. I’ll be purchasing another one soon. Thanks, guys!
ron g. (verified owner) –
Excellant constructon, good looking product. Very happy with my purchase.
Don B. (verified owner) –
I have installed the flat spring in the magazine properly. I have yet been able to get 10 rounds in the magazine. 9 rounds are tight.
Mark C. (verified owner) –
MagGuts was GREAT! Ordering was easy, shipping speed was reasonable (I chose the lowest cost option) AND their product works perfect! To date, not a single jam or failure to feed. Love my new MagGuts!!!
James K. (verified owner) –
Didn’t work the follower kept pushing out the top of the mag
Scott S. (verified owner) –
The extension makes the pinky area more substantial for gripping a smaller pistol and I love the idea of 2 more rounds available. It’s now very near the same capacity of a much larger firearm.
Brandon B. (verified owner) –
Excellent quality. Function perfectly
Micheal L. (verified owner) –
Excellent product , going buy another maybe two.
Thomas M. (verified owner) –
This product is really great since it can allow you to increase your mag capacity which allows you to carry less mags for more ammo…
Robert O. (verified owner) –
Conversion was easy. All adaptations work as advertised. Range tests were impressive. NO failures to feed and solid lockback on final round. Tested with full and partially loaded mags and 10 different bullet configurations, styles and lengths. Great product. Have recommended it to others.
Rob W. (verified owner) –
I had a little trouble getting the +2 to work with my 8 round Shield magazine for a moment, but Jenny from the customer service team was quick to help. With just one little step, mine was installed correctly and working as promised in no time. Thanks Jenny!
Jack C. (verified owner) –
The kit to convert my Smith & Wesson Shield 9mm magazine from 8 rounds to 10 worked great. It was relatively quick and easy to do. I have tested the magazine several times and have had no failures for the magazine to feed properly. I am pleased with the result.
Michael W. (verified owner) –
The mag guts extended magazine kit for the M&P Shield 9mm has worked flawless and it was an enjoyable experience doing business with them everything went as it should be expected but rarely is with other businesses
John C. (verified owner) –
The Magguts kit arrived in a few days. Directions were useful and accurate. Installing required some degree of manual dexterity. The magazine worked better with 115gr round. 147gr Federal hollow points hung up.
John C. (verified owner) –
Magguts spring work flawlessly and is the best way to add +1 or +2 to lower capacity magazines! Great customer service as well! Don’t hesitate to buy!
Joe F. (verified owner) –
Excellent
Roy J. (verified owner) –
I haven’t had a chance to cycle rounds through the magazine I converted with the +2 kit, but in terms of installation, things were very straight forward. Just thumbing rounds out of the cartridge, there didn’t appear to be any issues with the follower or Z-spring.
Paul C. (verified owner) –
So far so good! These spring kits work really well!
Michael B. (verified owner) –
easy to install and functioned flawlessly
Chuck B. (verified owner) –
Excellent products!
Jacob O. (verified owner) –
I reconmend using gun lube on the sides of the springs
Jorge R. (verified owner) –
I am very pleased with my Magguts 2+ for my 9mm Shield. Super easy installed.
Steve B. (verified owner) –
Have ran multiple loads and have not had a single issue to date. Nice to have 10 rds in the carry now.
Bill M. (verified owner) –
Excellent
William A. (verified owner) –
I found it difficult to install, and have NOT been able to get the second extra round into the magazine despite repeated attempts, so am using it as a +1 only. I have other Magguts inserts for a Khar CT380 that were only +1 that function perfectly, but this plus 2 has me discouraged.
Patrick S. (verified owner) –
Easy to assemble. Great for low round magazines.
Maurice S. (verified owner) –
I own a 9mm S&W Performance Center M&P Shield. I routinely use Sig Sauer Elite Performance 115gr for range ammunition and Federal HST 147gr ammunition for self-defense. I have fired approximately 1200 rounds of this ammunition in this gun and have experienced absolutely no issues with ammunition properly feeding into the chamber with either ammunition using the standard S&W magazines. I ordered the MagGuts +2 conversion. I initially installed the MagGuts conversion in a standard 8-round magazine. The MagGuts +2 conversion works great with the Sig Sauer Elite Performance 115gr range ammunition. When I loaded the same converted magazine with the Federal HST ammunition I had more “nose dives” than successful feeds. I uninstalled the MagGuts upgrade from the 8 round magazine and installed in a standard S&W 7 round magazine (assuming further spring compression was needed) and experienced similar poor results. Assuming that although I had carefully followed the installation instructions and watched a half dozen YouTube videos on the installation process I must have installed the Z-spring incorrectly (backwards), I reversed the installation of the Z-spring and reinstalled in the 8-round magazine. I experienced the same results, many (most) “nose dives”. I uninstalled the MagGuts conversion from the 8-round magazine, reverted back to the standard S&W spring configuration and all Federal HST rounds chambered and fired without incident from both the 8 and 7 round magazines. While not my intended use, I will only be using the conversion kit with a magazine I will be using with range ammunition on the range. Lesson learned – don’t assume self-defense ammunition will feed as well as range (FMJ) ammunition with this “upgrade”.
Steve L. (verified owner) –
Great product. Love the extra capacity without compromising concealability. Quality and performance is better than the OEM internals by far. I have upgraded all my mags, and have had 100% reliability with no feeding issues, regardless of ammo choice. S&W might want to make this a factory-available option!
Dr C. (verified owner) –
Bought 3 sets for the 8 round Shield 9mm I liked how well made the Mag guts units were with respect to function and installation so I ordered two more units.
Troy W. (verified owner) –
Have 2 Bodyguard mags outfitted with the +1 and 2 Shield mags outfitted with the +2 kits. All 4 perform flawlessly. Perfect for getting 10 round Shield mags!
MICHAEL W. (verified owner) –
The + 2 mag kit only adds 1/4 inch to the 7 rnd mag so it really doesnt affect concelability but allows you to have 10 rnds on deck so far it has fucioned flawlessly and is easy to install
Doyle F. (verified owner) –
Great mod for my Shield 7rd +2 ..
William h. (verified owner) –
Love the plus 2 but undecided on the extra length on grip. Quality gear though.
fred w. (verified owner) –
bought another one difficult to install and when i finally did the last two rounds would just fall out of the magazine. I am not new to firearms and want this to work, but sorry no joy. I would like to return them for a refund. Fred
Al S. (verified owner) –
Does what it claims, excellent fit and finish. Install can be tricky and the new spring has very sharp edges. Be careful and wear eye protection. Feeds flawlessly.
Andrew F. (verified owner) –
Only option for +2 available in a small package. The spring does not seat within the follower well, and can shift around causing the follower to tilt and become stuck. The follower needs actual engineering and design, not just a bent piece of sheet metal. Spring should lock into the follower instead of slipping fore and aft. I don’t trust this magazine with my life, and know it will fail eventually, given its design. Base plate is nice and secure, but the bare shiny metal should be black to match gun or at least bead blasted (instead of shiny chrome).
Gary B. (verified owner) –
These mag guts work great better than others I have used
Timothy S. (verified owner) –
Works great no problems at all
Ramon G. (verified owner) –
It truly just works I love it
John H. (verified owner) –
It’s a great products
chad h. (verified owner) –
Have shot several different Amos through these guys now with no issues. Even shot aluminum and two different self defense loads without issue. Would definitely recommend and buy again. Also very easy to assemble.
Steve I. (verified owner) –
I received one +2 kit. It was easy to install but I was a little skeptical about this. The 10th round was a tight fit. The magazine release was a little stiff at first but doesn’t seem to be an issue now. I have since ran quite a few full magazine loads the magazine and have had no issues. The slide has always locked back after the last round and have had no feed issues. I’ve only had this kit installed a very short time. I’ve kept the mag fully loaded all the time and so far it doesn’t seem to have any issues. So far, I’m impressed. I’ve ordered +1 and +2 kits for the rest of my shield magazines. The original magazine does not make good use of space in these mags with the plastic follower. This appears so simple I’m amazed I had not seen something like this before. I appreciate being able to have access to a few more rounds while I’m carrying w/o carrying an additional magazine.
Ssgt.alfred Y. (verified owner) –
Hello recently I had purchased the magguts gen2 plus 2 for my S&W 9mm and is very happy with the item n the install was simple upon after went to the range and it function great for a sub compact gun with 2 extra round , cant beat , turn around time was fast so yes I would recommend n hands down a Awesome product!! Thank y’all n Happy Holidays!!!
Adrian S. (verified owner) –
I purchased the +2 on the extended mag to give me a total of 10 rounds, and used it for about 300 rounds just a few days ago. It works GREAT! Very happy with this purchase. Now to upgrade my 7 to a 9 and to buy another 8 and add 2 more. Great product, easy install – literally took me 1 minute once I watched the video.
Ronn H. (verified owner) –
Good mod
Charles J. (verified owner) –
Seems to work well with the 8rd magazine.
Steven H. (verified owner) –
A bit difficult to install, but that could have been my less than nimble fingers, good prodcut
Joseph E. (verified owner) –
Really need updated video instrctions. I installed the +2 s&w shield kit but it took two tries. Getting that spring just perfect is a little more complicated than it looks.
John T. (verified owner) –
Perfect
Jason H. (verified owner) –
<2 minute installation. Tight at first with a quick break in. No failure to feeds within the first 200 rounds.
Timothy T. (verified owner) –
I’m very pleased! Easy installation in a few minutes. Got to the range and the MagGuts +2 worked flawlessly. I am impressed, pleased and highly recommend to all.
Rudy H. (verified owner) –
Works perfectly just as advertised. Could not be more happy
Robert L. (verified owner) –
I am very pleased with my Magguts +2. The install was easy once I figured out how to handle the spring. They work flawless. As soon as I get more mags I will be buying more
Joshua H. (verified owner) –
Haven’t ran any rounds through it yet, so time will tell how reliable it will be, but it does its Job. I was able to expand the capacity +2 in both my 9mm M&P Shields magazines with ease. Was difficult in the beginning but had both done in less than 10 minutes
Ernest C. (verified owner) –
I found the conversion process very easy to perform. Since then I have fired a couple of hundred rounds with no problems. Great product and I highly recommend it.
Richard W. (verified owner) –
I appreciate the fast shipping that I received and am very impressed with the extra capacity that I now have. The instructions were semi good and the video online was for the plus 1…. so it took me a little time to figure everything out. I did two magazines and the second was a breeze. I also went to the range to check them out before using them In my daily routine, and they worked flawlessly. I did two 8 round magazine extensions and I think i’ll be doing my 7 rounders to make them 9…
Chad F. (verified owner) –
Great product and great customer service.
Thomas S. (verified owner) –
I started with only buying one set for my shield. Next thing you know I’m buying more for my shield, bodyguard, glock 42, and p380. Now they have blown me away again with the new base plate for the shield making a +2. WHAT!!!! They say to find pleasure in the little things in life. Well 1 extra round seems to be the little thing in my life that gives me much pleasure. I just wish they had a rewards club haha, by now I’m sure I would have earned a free one. Needless to say I give this product and company two big thumbs up!!
Rick N. (verified owner) –
First class product and first class customer service. Kit was easy to install with included instructions. First time to load the additional two rounds was a little bit tight but That’s to be expected.
Harry A. (verified owner) –
used on my primary carry pistol.
Larry R. (verified owner) –
Great idea and great product! Pay close attention to instructions as I did not get it together correctly the first time. Also, the springs are sharp!
Michael K. (verified owner) –
Have purchased for Glock, Kahr, and Shielld in plus one and plus two. All worked flawlessly and totally reliable. Would recommend to any purchaser!
Clint R. (verified owner) –
These work really good easy to install.
Jose N. (verified owner) –
The Z spring was a tight squeeze into the shield’s 7 rd magazine. After a few attempts the spring fit perfectly. Loading with the new follower was smooth. The new length of the magazine at 1/4 inch is unnoticeable and creates no printing issues with concealment carry.
Roy J. (verified owner) –
I have the +2 kit installed in both a 7-round and 8-round magazine. Getting the spring placement just right is a challenge and took a few attempts, but when you have the spring aligned correctly with the follower, it’s really easy to tell as you won’t have issues with rounds misaligning during loading or any change in rounds being more difficult to load. Extra bonus for assistance from the Magguts support team who helped sort out the feed issues with the installation.
Steve W. (verified owner) –
Just installed the +2 on my shield. Easy install. Have only been to the range once so far I put 150 rounds through the clip ant it worked flawlessly!!
James N. (verified owner) –
With this on the 7 round mag it gives enough room for a full grip on the shield 9 m.
David E. (verified owner) –
Great to have the extra capacity! Only down side is cutting myself when the spring got away from me! Be careful!
Stacy S. (verified owner) –
Exactly what he wanted!
Sion R. (verified owner) –
Added two rounds to my magazine and functioned flawlessly at the range. Only issue is pressure to the back of the follower when using a speed loader would cause it to come out and bind up the spring, making me have to put it back together. Problem solved with a different loader that applies pressure to the front of the follower or just load by hand.
Rick C. (verified owner) –
Purchased the plus two extension with new spring. Can’t put the magazine in gun with the 9 rounds in the mag. I have to remove 1 round to make the mag fitt into the gun. So two round extension is only giving me 1 extra round.
Dominick M. (verified owner) –
Read the directions, but I always need more, so I went to utube to be sure. Got 9+1 from a 7. Caution the spring is sharp. I used a cotter pin. I got as much spring in and stuck a cotter pin to avoid an accidental launching of the spring. Ran the dummy rounds thru 3 times, worked fine. Next will be at the range.
Shaquan B. (verified owner) –
Only put a few rounds through the mag gut +2 im vert pleased with it so far but i want to put a couple hundred before i carry it 10 plus 1
Jason D. (verified owner) –
Bought a +2 set for my 8rd shield mag. Works awesome. Nice option to have in your edc line up. Not noticeable bigger than stock 8rd. The biggest thing you notice is the weight. Thus I load it with ARX rounds to save weight. Again sweet setup I plan to buy a +1 spr By for my 7rd with pinky. Great combo. Lots of firepower if God for bid you ever needed it. .
Kenneth P. (verified owner) –
I bought both the +1 and +2 to upgrade both the 7+1 magazine and the 8+1 magazine. The +2 upgrade on the 7+1 magazine is a little harder to insert the magazine clip than the 8+1 with the +1 spring but both work just fine. Just need a little more force when inserting the 7+1 magazine with the Magguts +2 extension in my shield 9 2.0
Anthony L. (verified owner) –
Great springs for extra rounds.
Humberto M. (verified owner) –
I had purchased the original model before and I thought that it was a good item to add to my daily carry pistol. When I discovered the new design I just had to buy it. Now that I have installed the new spring and converted my 8 rounder into a 10 round magazine all I can say is WOW. I alternate between my 9mm M&P shield and a Walther PPS. Now I wish you guys could come out with a replacement spring for the 7 round Walther PPS magazine, that would turn my PPS into an even better self defense gun. Some people may think that these springs are nothing more than gimmicks and may not work; well I have fired about 2K rounds with the original Muggutts springs and about 300 rounds with the new design. These springs are a must for every EDC magazines out there and I definitively recommend these without any hesitation.
Erik C. (verified owner) –
Great product. Works great no problems. This is my third one. Just buy it not regrets, plus you’re getting two more rounds. What’s not to like.

All of about 5 mins to put in 2 sets of magguts springs ,follower , plate How much is too much when u get 10 instead of 8! In my shield 9 ! I have 6 mags i most definitely will be replacing others w magguts great product only alternative is pro-mag wouldnt bet my life on em ! YOU?
Chris D. (verified owner) –
Had a shipping issue that customer service took care of immediately. The product is exactly as advertised; +2 rounds and only 1/4” longer.
Mark (verified owner) –
I left an earlier review stating my frustration with getting the +2 spring into my S&W 9mm Shield 8 round mag. I was doing everything correctly but one small too from MagGuts support and it turned the whole thing around. Honestly, I tried installing it again and solved the issue in less time than it took to load the mag. I’ll give this a 5 star rating once I’ve experienced how it works/feeds at the range.
Bo W. (verified owner) –
Good product.. had a small hicup in shipping but a email later they had it resolved And product at my door in a couple day after email..
David A. (verified owner) –
I had no trouble fitting them in the 8 round magazine. But they would not go in the 7round mags.
Brandon L. (verified owner) –
Follower could be longer on the ends. There is tendency when handling empty mag or loading first round for rearward part of the follower to dip inside of the magazine causing the forward edge to clear the magazine resulting in the spring to protrude throught the top of the mag and the follower fouling inside. the magazine has to be disassembled to clear
Bruce C. (verified owner) –
easy to install and performed flawlessly, what more can you expect?
Charles T. (verified owner) –
I would have given it 5 stars, except I believe the design of the profile should have complemented the grip profile all the way around. As a result, there is an disruptive surface which nest into the heel of my palm. Not a deal breaker, but ehhh…
Steven H. (verified owner) –
I’ve purchased a total of 7 +2 kits, I have only 200 hundred rounds and my friend has 100 rds. through them. They have worked flawlessly and are a little easier to load and insert than the original configuration. Only issue I see is if you push down on back of the follower it can pop out of the front of the magazine when empty.
Sarah S. (verified owner) –
I’ll submit again after a few hundred rounds through these magazines, but thanks for a brilliant product! Quality looks good, packaging was classy, and the instructions for installation were easy to read and follow. I’m looking forward to the range tests and ultimately to carrying with an even higher round count in my same, familiar platform. High fives, great product.
Frank D. (verified owner) –

Finally got to go to the range after a month or so to try them out. Been eating on me pretty good. They both functioned flawlessly without any jams. I bought the 2xtra round kit i use in my shield 9mm extended clip and the 1xtra round for my shorter clip.
Michael N. (verified owner) –
The maggnets do exactly as advertised
Stanley S. (verified owner) –
The spring was too tight and did allow the mag release to work. Was unable to push down on the release to disengage the magazine. Will need to return.
Robert C. (verified owner) –
The best thing that can be said is “it works”. Over 300 rounds and no mis-feed. That is what i want to hear when it applies to my EDC.
Michael S. (verified owner) –
Excellent product. I like my Shield a lot it shoots like a larger pistol than it is. The magazine capacity is limited at 7 & 8 rounds. Magguts allows me to increase my capacity by 4 rounds counting a reload mag. That 4 rounds may save a life someday I’m glad to have that extra insurance at my side. Thank you for a well made product Magguts.

Recently got this for my first gen M&P Shield. Fairly simple to install and functions great…took it to the range and put a few hundred rounds through it with no issues. I added it to an 8 round mag, and now I carry a 10+1 Shield. More firepower is always good, and the Shield is so thin it doesn’t make it much more difficult to conceal.

I work on a shooting range and see all kinds of accessories that my customers come up with and the Mag-Guts 2-rd mag extensions and inserts are one of the best I’ve seen in recent weeks. A customer of mine showed me what he bought and how they work adding 2 extra rounds to the Shield extended mag that I pulled out my phone and got online and ordered 3 of them immediately. I received them fairly quickly (just a few days) and they installed very easily following the included directions. I am big on having plenty of ammo so adding 2 rounds to my Shield was a no-brainer for me. They feed great and look good in my pistol. Thanks a lot to my customer and Mag-Guts for keeping up with the innovations in the industry. I really appreciate it. Danny at Alpine Shooting Range, Ft. Worth Texas

Just what it says!
Len S. (verified owner) –
Fits 10 perfectly. Love my m@p is a 10+1 now.
Benjamin S. (verified owner) –
I have not put any rounds through the magazine yet, but I can say that I am impressed with the design. The overall length added to the bottom of the magazine was minimal and it added 2 rounds. Great product!
Ryan A. (verified owner) –
These are so much more compact than any other +2 extension and I would not be surprised if they are more reliable. I’ve used a variety of different ammo including reloads and haven’t had a single hang up even after leaving the mag fully loaded with the spring all the way compressed for weeks before use. I highly recommend this as the ultimate way to add 2 rounds without sacrificing the shield’s compact size.

Mark G. (verified owner) –
I found Z spring to be a good solution to add space in magazines. With 10 in a single stack, I feel more confident and it hides nicely.
Brian S. (verified owner) –
Took me 3 mins to switch out the OEM spring and added 2 rounds to my Sheild 9mm mag. Ran 80 rounds through it so far, they all fed perfectly. No jams. Highly recommended

Timm H. (verified owner) –
Purchased +2 for shield 7 round mag and +1 spring for 8 round shield mag. I like the +1 in factory 8 round, personally. 300ish rounds through each and no problems yet. The +1 in the 8 round mag functions a little easier than the +2 in the 7. I think Magguts has hit a home run with the Z spring. Thanks for the last round.
Randy B. (verified owner) –
Bought 2 and both work great . No failures with target or hollow point ammo. Happy with my purchase.
Mario V. (verified owner) –
Works right most of the time. It was a real pain to install tho. This is definitely not going to be easy to clean every few hundred rounds. Also the follower flipped on me a couple times but lately it’s been good
B A. (verified owner) –
Hard to get in or align up withthe grooves in magazine
Christopher H. (verified owner) –
Installed them about ten days ago. Don’t trust the youtube videos of installation. I’m guessing Magguts created a new and simpler install for the baseplate. Wear gloves, the springs are sharp. I ran 30 rounds through both mags with only one minor misfeed quickly fixed. Definitely recommending these to everyone.
Paul B. (verified owner) –
Mag guts +2 for S&W shield: well made and operated as described quite well.
Ed E. (verified owner) –
I purchased several MagGuts +2 kits for my S&W Shield after taking a defensive shooting class and contending with multiple reloads off sync with other students in the class. I installed the first several with no problem, the last magazine was a challenge to keep the spring from deforming against the back face of the follower, but eventually got it done. Used both 7 and 8 round, tested both at the range and they ran flawlessly through 50-60 rounds. Pending further testing this is a great product for training, carry reliability will require additional testing for my standards (300-500 rounds.)
Mark H. (verified owner) –
First one in the eight round took five minutes to install the second one in the seven round about thirty seconds. With no printing issues I can carry ten rounds (one in the chamber) and a second mag with ten rounds. Ran both mags with a variety of ammo without any problems. Would highly recommend.
Raymond L. (verified owner) –

Dennis W. (verified owner) –
I love these. Have never failed to feed and give extra rounds. Top notch!!!
Hector M. (verified owner) –
Pain too install but worth the 2 extra rounds with little added length too my 8 round mag, havent shot with it yet put Manuely ejected rounds worked fine .
Steve C. (verified owner) –

This spring made it easier to load the mag as well as increased the capacity.

I recently purchased the +2 mag extension for my Shield. It was very easy to install and after 100 rounds I have had no issues.
Matthew C. (verified owner) –
works great. I wish i ordered two of these. It makes the 7 round mag fit perfectly in my hand.
Michael M. (verified owner) –
Capacity means nothing if it doesn’t function! I expected hiccups. I purchased 3 of the +2 kits and all have functioned without fail!!! FLAWLESS!!!! In my opinion. This is the best upgrade available for the shield! Buy it. You need this product!!!! THANK YOU Magguts
Brian N. (verified owner) –
Great products. Super easy to install and very effective.
Henry B. (verified owner) –
I put 200 rounds down range with no problems. I would recommend if someone was looking to increase magazine capacity or replace a defective factory spring. As the latter was the reason for my upgrade.
Tommy C. (verified owner) –
It was easy to change the 7 round clip to the +2 MagGuts. The slight additional length made the grip similar to the 8 round clip. I was able to load nine rounds into the 7 +2 clip. However the the ninth round was hard to load. Additionally, the clip was hard to seat the gun with nine rounds. I also had problems with chambering a round with nine in the clip. I felt more comfortable with only loading eight rounds in the clip. Everything worked fine with eight in the clip. I can only give it a 4star because I now have two eight round clips with one in the chamber. I actually like the new length of the 7 rd clip.
Kenneth M. (verified owner) –
Great product.
Ken D. (verified owner) –
Put about 150 rounds through it. 115 &124 gr JHPs and a couple of Mags of 124 HSTs without a hiccup. Fantastic so far!
Timothy A. (verified owner) –
I installed the +2 spring and baseplate in two 8 rnd and one 7 rnd magazines for my M&P Shield 9. After a couple hundred rounds they proved to be perfect. Not a single malfunction and the extra1/4 inch is negligible. This is my EDC pistol and I trust it with my life.
Vincent M. (verified owner) –
This product is outstanding. I love it. functions flawlessly, will be buying more.
William R. (verified owner) –

Great product,easy install….best bang for the buck!!
Makoto O. (verified owner) –
Shipping is very quick. Products is very useful. 7rd mag become 9 rounds which is better (shorter) than 8rd mag with +1 follower. I also have 8 + 2 mag. Highly recommended.
Giles P. (verified owner) –
I love the ability to now carry 9 rounds in the 7 round magazine. Still shorter than the 8 round extended mag. That extra 1/4 inch allows me to get a full 3 finger grip on the gun and has sped up my draw time. More ammo and faster on target is a win for me. I was concerned that the extra length would be difficult to conceal but so far it hasn’t been a problem.
Ozy S. (verified owner) –
First, the flat spring has very sharp edges. I cut my hand in two spots when installing the first kit. I put on a leather glove when installing the other 3 kits. Second, the +2 kit works great with the 7-rd S&W mag (turning it to a 9-rd mag). The spring tension is pretty good when the magazine is empty and this allows for 100% slide lock when hand cycling. However, the spring tension is on the weak side when the +2 kit is used with a 8-rd mag. Slide lock is touch and go when hand cycling the slide with an empty mag. But so far the slide locks 100% when I tested it using live rounds.
Clayton T. (verified owner) –
Easy to install, like how it extends the grip even more. Good product and they ship it to you quick
Anthony S. (verified owner) –
Bought two plus 2 kits for my 9mm Shield. Installed one in the factory 7 round magazine as well as one in the factory 8 round magazine. Put about 200 rounds through them with zero issues. So far, so good…

Quality spring for my S&W M&P Shield.9mm. I almost needed a 3rd hand, but luckily I had my dad around. It states you can get an extra 2 rounds in the 9mm after installation, but I could only get one extra. Wold give 5 stars if I could get the two extra rounds as advertised. Overall, sound spring that will not pop or give way.

Michael H. (verified owner) –
Just shot 1000 + rounds – not 1 mishap
Stephen M. –
I would not recommend this based on my experience with this product. Having said that, I will return this +2 for the +1 kit. I had a very hard time get the two extra rounds to go into the mag and a very hard time trying to seat the mag in the gun. first round would feed then the rest jammed in the mag. I would be willing to try the +1 kit based on the others I ordered at the same time for three different Ruger handguns!! I successfully used the kits for the LC9s,LCP and LCPII. So I do like the product , It’s just this particular one didn’t work for me!
Julio G. (verified owner) –

Gene G. (verified owner) –
I had previously converted 1 each, S&W M&P Shield 9, 7 Rd and 8 Rd Mag’s with +1 Kits and decided to change them into +2 ‘s. At the same time as the original Z Spring update I also “Did” another 7 Rd and two 8 Rd Mag’s to +2 and was impressed by the very small change in grip,

Kurtis G. (verified owner) –
May extension works flawlessly and was easy to install. No issues
Ralph P. (verified owner) –
These +2 extentions are the best use of space in the magazine that I have found. I extended my 8 round 9mm to 10 rounds and it brought the grip length to a perfect fistful of grip with no wasted space to print. I have fed 200 rounds through it so far, 1 and 2 at a time, without a flaw. Installation was easy with spot on fit and finish.
Christopher B. (verified owner) –
Worked flawlessly. No hiccup after 200 plus rounds at the range. Spring looks more durable than original. Highly recommended.
An T. (verified owner) –
Arrived on time. Hard to get the last round in but that’s normal. Just load up the mag with a speed loader to the max and leave it so the spring can break in. Installation took 5 mins
Henry J. (verified owner) –

Stan T. (verified owner) –

Damon A. (verified owner) –
Ive run many rounds through my shield 9 with extended mag without one failure at all. I installed the plus two mag guts parts in two mags and ran them hard last week. One mag ran flawlessly at about 150 rounds, the second one jammed up on me on the first go….. I jiggled the spring a little, reloaded it and ran 100 rounds through it with out failure, so basically writing that one off as poorly loaded but will abuse both mags many more times before they become my EDC mags, for now I’m staying with the original SW mags for EDC. Still a great product IMO but want to be certain they are solid before carrying.
Robert L. (verified owner) –
Super easy install and no failures after 1000 rounds. I love having 10 round capability in a very concealable single stack hand gun.
Edwin B. (verified owner) –
I recently upgraded my S&W M&P Shield 9’s eight round magazine to ten rounds! The upgrade went relatively easy and I have been to the range a few times putting around 100 rounds (10 reloads) through my MagGuts 10 round magazine. I highly recommend the MagGuts magazine +2 upgrade to all.
Cody C. (verified owner) –
Looking at all the other products to upgrade round count for the Shield, nothing offers what Magguts +2 does. Only added a 1/4 to the magazine keeping it low profile unlike most mag extentions. The flat spring is a quailty spring and works as advertised without short comings of other adaptors with factory coil or upgraded aftermarket coils. Install was very easy, I did have to deburr and polish the followers before install (not a lot but enough to make them glide smoother up the mag body). I’ve ran a lil more than 1/2 a case of 9mm with both magazines upgraded with Magguts and they have worked without issue. Im impressed and will buy more in the future.
Daniel L. (verified owner) –
This is my second order of this product. Shipping was faster and accurate! Each kit I bought was quick and easy to install. Highly recommend this product to anyone looking to up the capacity for their Shield! Thank you so much!!!

G M. (verified owner) –
It took a couple of loadings for the spring to seat properly which produced a couple of failures to feed. However after that, the mag seems to function properly. It is going to take me a few more outings to get completely comfortable.
Anthony B. (verified owner) –
Works as advertised. Clip now holds 10 rounds. Relatively easy to install. Will probably order another after shooting a few times to make sure it feeds well.
Carlos l. (verified owner) –
You cant go wrong carrying 2 extra rounds.
Anthony H. (verified owner) –
Like many, I like my M&P Shield a lot but if only it held one or two more rounds in each magazine… Well, the search is over! First and foremost, what interested me in the MagGuts product was the fact that the same accessory would fit both the 7 and the 8 round magazine (other company’s offerings would work on one, but not the other). Of course, as this is the Age of Google, I read online reviews, which were all positive. I ordered two sets of the +2 MagGuts, and they arrived very quickly. Just seated at my dining room table, it only took a few minutes to install each unit with nothing more than the small screwdriver tip on my multi-tool. I loaded up each magazine (to the NEW and IMPROVED capacity!), and then rapidly racked the slide thus ejecting all the rounds. This worked perfectly; no jams. A few (long) days later, I went to the range. I shot 150 rounds, alternating magazines, and all 150 rounds cycled flawlessly. I am very impressed with this product! I only wish that I was this impressed with my shooting, but I digress. Anyway, I now carry my Shield with the formerly 7 (now 9) round magazine, using the formerly 8 (now 10!) round magazine as backup. What a great product!

Magguts +2 shipped quick and arrived at my door within a week. It was easy to install and works perfectly on my S&w shield 9. I now have 9+1 on tap in a smaller package than the factory 8 round extended magazine. Perfect!!!
Mike (verified owner) –
Works and is reliable. Great having 9 rounds in a mag shorter than the factory 8 rounder. Only downside is that it’s very hard to insert a loaded magazine with the slide closed.
Andrew J. (verified owner) –
I bought a +2 magazine extension. Evryime imuse those magazines. The slide fails to cock back. I had a gunsmith look at it and he told me it wasn’t making good contact with cocker catch.not super happy with them. I think it’s a big safety issue .

Cade P. (verified owner) –
They do add 2 rounds to each of my M&P Shield 9mm mags, and I have put about 500 rounds through the 7 (now 9) and 8 (now 10) round mags without faliure. I have had issues with loading and unloading the 7 (now 9) mag however. The M&P Shield 9mm is not actually a “true” single stack, it’s more like a 1.5 stack, so the rounds inside stack slightly staggered to each other. The issue I have is that sometimes while reloading the mag, they won’t stack up correctly, causing the last round to be extremely tight and therefore making it very difficult to insert the already tight mag into the gun which has a round in the chamber. The other issue I’ve had is that the follower will pop out of the front of the mag sometimes while loading the first round or unloading the last round. I have checked many times and everything is properly installed. Like I said before, I have not had any faliure while shooting with them and I have only had these issues with the 7 round mag (8 round mag has been flawless) and I do prefer the +2 rounds over a stock mag. I think the follower should have been designed differently to prevent it from popping out though.
Adalberto M. (verified owner) –
Easy installation, so glad I decided to purchase both the +1 and +2. I have run approx. 150 rounds each without any issues.
Kirk S. (verified owner) –
I purchased two +2 kits. They don’t consistently engage slide lock after last round. So b/c of this inconsistency I have assigned then to practice only. Most of my training drills use 10rnds. For training… these things are awesome!!

I just installed the new springs into my 7 shot magazine. It installed easily and now I have a 9 shot capacity. Great product..I hope the springs last.
Anthony B. (verified owner) –

Michael K. (verified owner) –
I didn’t care much for the factory 7 round mag. Too short to give me a decent grip on the Shield 9. This +2 kit gave me tad more grip and the extra rounds available are nice to have. Plus the fact it’s still short enough not to increase the print when I carry concealed. I’ve run about 500 rounds through that mag since the upgrade with MagGuts +2 using a mix of ammo types with absolutely no problems. Feeds great and cycles like it should. I’ll more than likely buy a couple more kits for my extra mags….as it works well in the 8 round mags also. Thanks for a quality product.
Steve H. –
If you’re looking to increase capacity of your Shield, this is the best there is. Other companies, like Hive, add ridiculous length to the mag. MagGuts adds the least to the length (1/4″ to either the 7-rd or 8-rd mag) out of all the ones I’ve seen. Shield is my EDC and I converted two 7-rd mags into two 9-rd mags. One goes in the gun and the other as spare. 19 rds sounds a lot more reassuring than 15 rds. I’ve put several hundred rds through this mag with no problems. The two 9-rd mags are actually about 1/8″ shorter than the stock 8-rd mag. I used to have the 8-rd mag converted to a 10-rd mag, but the extra 1/4″ for 1 more rd wasn’t worth it to me. I load different ammo for in-gun and spare mags, and I’d never put the 10-rd mag in the gun because it was too long. With two 9-rd mags, I can switch while keeping the same profile.
Nic N. (verified owner) –
A little tricky to get in but has run flawless after 10 loaded mags
Desy (verified owner) –
Very nice to get 10 rounds into a Shield magazine in a compact package.
Justin P. (verified owner) –
Great plus 2 without adding much length. Two trips to the range with my shield 9 with no hiccup’s. I will be keeping them fully loaded when stored and putting them through some more range days over the next few months before I will consider carrying them, but so far they’re looking pretty good!
Nathaniel Z. (verified owner) –
AWESOME
Ralph M. (verified owner) –
A little light on diagram showing method of afixing the New base. Initial loading difficult with fingers; used Caldwell loader effectively. I suspect the spring will lighten over time.
Sean W. (verified owner) –
Relitavely easy to install. Test fired aboud 200 rds with no issues. Works as advertised. The small grip extention allows the shield to fit my hand perfectly. No pinky droop.
Michael S. (verified owner) –
Added plus 2 to M&P Shield 7 and 8 round mags. No malfunction or hiccups. Slide locks open when mag is empty, new mag in without problem. The 7 round (now 9) is less than 1/4 inch longer, but makes hadling the gun easier, can get an extra finger on the grip. Then magazines then drop the pressing mag release, before my grip was interfering and I had to pull em out. Am buying more. Well desgnef product!
David P. (verified owner) –
Works great..smooth
Steve (verified owner) –
I wanted to ignore this debacle and hope it went away, but since MagGuts has been pestering me to write a review I will oblige. I agree with the reviewer that wrote it was too hard to install, but since I was successful in the end I won’t complain. And before you ask, yes, I did watch three videos about a half dozen times. Along with the tiny pictures on the back of the packaging, the videos made sure I had the right “polarity” for the spring inside the magazine housing, a 7-round S&W Shield unit. Once together, I tested my Frankenstein creation to see if it would, indeed, hold 9 rounds now. Imagine my delight when I got them all in! Now imagine my displeasure when only 4 rounds would “thumb” out, the spring stuck in the housing. Shaking the magazine upside down caused two more rounds to fall out on their own, and the rest needed a pencil to pry them out. Not the kind of performance you would like on the range. Subsequent tests have been similar, with varying results. I am now loading 6 rounds into this magazine and retrieving them with some consistent regularity. So, $32 has transformed my 7 round magazine into a 6 round magazine. I bought two of these turkeys and I am happy to write that the second is still in its packaging, where it will likely remain. If you’re wondering why I don’t reinstall the S&W components, their spring is equally faulty, but for a different reason. You can find a video or two about that on YouTube as well.

Aweful experience. I am returning this. Directions and YouTube make it look so easy. It is not. Spring kept squirting out the bottom as I attempted to put the cover on. Metal ended up bending and cutting my hands. Follower got warped. This thing is a piece of crap.

Bought two, two-round extensions for my 9mm MP Shield. Yesterday, ran 100 rounds through each, full magazine each time. No failures. Easy to install, but be careful of the sharp edges on the spring. Thank you, Magguts.
Jack L. (verified owner) –
I waited until I could actually test out the spring to write this review. After putting 100+ rounds through the magazine with the Magguts spring and no malfunctions whatsoever, I believe this is one of the best modifications you can add on a gun. I now use it as my primary magazine in my carry gun everyday. Absolutely love it!
Matthew M. (verified owner) –
the +2 mag extension works great so far, put about 300 rounds through it so far and not a single failure, also barely makes the mag bigger, my 9 round mag is smaller then the factory 8 round mag that comes with the gun.

Install easily it works exactly as advertised!
Josh G. (verified owner) –
I have been running my magguts in my EDC for about a month now and so far have not had any issues. However, I have not tested them a whole lot. Putting the +2 into the 7 round mag was somewhat difficult and it can be seen on YouTube how it takes some patience to get it set up. I really like the idea of carrying 4 extra rounds with my shield and for concealment purposes; this is the best product on the market.
Glenroy S. (verified owner) –
I was very hesitant when I was ordering the MaGGut spring, but when it arrived and I installed it I was sold. I have not tested it at the range yet, but I’ve slingshot the slide several times and it works flawlessly. I am definitely going to replace all my other spring in my other magazines..
Emilio T. (verified owner) –
Spring kept pushing out from the top causing the ammo to fly out. But after the 5th attempt to correctly install it, it seems fine now and works flawlessly. Honestly I was nervous to go to the range but I guess I did it right cause I had no issues.

A wonderful product! Works exactly as described. Takes 10 seconds to install. Am very impressed with this solution. A little pricey for what you get but well worth it!
Henry i. (verified owner) –
I love the look of the extension, some look to crazy or big but magguts looks great in my opinion. the only issue i have is on the 8 round mag it causes the top round to nose dive against the barrel, but this is a ammo issue and not the product. works perfect on the 7 round mag. If you use a more round hollow point or FMJs then you will have no issue, im using sig elite performance which has a larger opening thats sharper then lets say critical defense. for the price i say just buy it!

I upgraded my 8 round magazine and ran 500 round s through it at the range and had zero malfunctioning. I recently installed the +1 in my 7 round magazine but still need to test it. It was fairly easy to install the +2 in my 8 round magazine but the +1 was not as easy. My plan is to buy 3 more 8 round magazine s and the +2 mag extension to provide a better option. This is a great product!

I pocket carry a 9mm shield and as it is a single stack I am always looking for more rounds. The magguts filled the need very nicely. I live in totalitarian NY where clip capacity is only ten rounds. The 8 round clip with the magguts insert filled the need. As far as reliability down the road, other people will have to answer that, I have only been to the range once with the new inserts, so far , so good. ,
stephen m. (verified owner) –
300 rounds later and some abuse testing of the mags and not one issue with my new SW Shield 9mm and the +2 mag extensions and the size difference is not even noticable to me , I now carry 18 instead of 14 rounds in my EDC setup.

Works great just one thing is any once have this problem when tha mag is empty the follower can tip up and come out.. my only fear is losing the following on a reload
Bernie G. (verified owner) –
This is my second purchase, as the first was quite handy. Fits well and doesn’t add too much to the grip. It’s a little tricky installing be careful as their is a potential to cut yourself if you aren’t carefull.

I have fired over 3000 rounds through my Smith & Wesson Shield 9mm using the +2 MagGuts adapted Smith & Wesson Shield magazines and have not yet experienced even one failure attributable to the +2 MagGuts adapted magazines. I’ve also experienced very few failures attributable to bad ammunition. My take on this is that the 9mm Shield together with the +2 MagGuts adapted magazines is an exceptionally reliable combination and, certainly, one of the best, if not the best, concealed-carry option now available.
Roberto P. (verified owner) –
It works great with my shield. I would buy it again and again!!!!
Pete Z. (verified owner) –
Difficult to install. Follower needs a little more metal in the lower front lip to keep it from flying out of the magazine. BUT… I still like it and carry the 7 +2 magazine. It has run a couple hundred rounds flawlessly! The base plate is excellent!
Tom M. (verified owner) –
I finally got to the range to give your product an extended test. Shooting 115gr FMJ after 50 rounds no issues. I then switched to my carry ammo, Federal HST 147gr. I had constant failure to feed when the magazine was full. Always jammed at 9 or 8 left in the mag. I’m using a S&W Shield ver. 1 9mm. I am now looking to get my money back

Folmar (verified owner) –
Not the easiest installation but I was determined to make it work to get another two shots in the mag. I took it to the range and encountered no misfires.
David W. (verified owner) –
Bought a +1 extension that worked fine then purchased a +1 spring and a +2 Magguts kit for a 9mm shield. First time out with the springs shooting Federal brass no issues. Second time out shooting Winchester white box every one or two rounds was a failure to feed. Tried the springs a third time shooting Federal brass, Winchester white box, gold dots HP and Hornady HP and except for the Federal brass the other ammo was consistent failures to feed. Will most definitely not recommend or depend on the spring for defensive carry. Will try using just +1 extensions and see if those are reliable. Definitely disappointed in this product.
Chad C. (verified owner) –
Put 200 quick rounds through my +2 S&W Shield magazine last weekend, no sign at all of any issues. Works great, gives me the capacity I want.
Ken (verified owner) –
It was really difficult to put together. The follower kept popping out the top. I have seen this type of follower in my Kimber magazines. It can be an issue. I replaced it with a molded Wilson Combat type for my Kimber and problems went away. Anyway got together with some of my blood on the mag. Could have a better follower.
Andrew K. (verified owner) –
Installed +2 MagGuts kits on three, 8rd M&P Shield 9mm magazines. After putting several hundred rounds of three different types of ammo through each mag consisting of ball and two different brands of JHP, I didn’t experience a single malfunction. I highly recommend this product to anyone wishing to up their game. After all, you can’t have enough ammo when carrying!
Kyle M. (verified owner) –
The spring kit with butt plate does increase capacity by two rounds and cycles fine. The fit and finish leaves a bit to be desired. It isn’t as seamless as I would have expected for the price. All in all, it wouldn’t stop me from buying it.

Kenneth N. (verified owner) –
The new flat spring design works really really well. I used this kit to give my Shield standard magazine 2 more rounds (9 total) and a full 3 finger grip on the firearm as well. Does not print more when concealed carried. Great product.
David E. (verified owner) –
It works as advertised, but need to make sure that the last round loaded is set at the right angle by smacking the back of the mag against your palm to get it to be titled up at correct angle for the first round to always go to battery. Didn’t have any problems and it fed each round as expected. The high price is a deterrent for me to purchase any more. Be careful when installing and compressing the spring as the edge is razor sharp and can give you a nasty slice as I found out the hard way. I now have a 10 round mag for my shield, though for just a few dollars more I could have bought two extra new 8 round mags.I wouldn’t depend on this to be my primary mag for concealed carry, just not convinced it would always work as the follower flexes within the magazine and looks like it could come out or jam up.
Robert K. (verified owner) –
This is a great product. Turn your 9 shot Shield into an 11 shot in 5 minutes. That’s almost double stack capacity without having to carry a thick/heavy gun. I tested this product and had no issues at all. The last round held the slide back and no failure to feed issues. For about $35 with shipping it’s crazy not to purchase this item. Now if I could get them to make one for the 45 Shield I would be happy. Hint Hint!

S&W Shield 2.0 , 7 round magazine with Magguts +2 setup. Easy to install and I was able to get 9 rounds in with no problems. Shot over 50 rounds of fmj and jhp, flawless. Added length is minimal. Definitely a must have add on. Metal follower is awesome compared to the gray plastic OEM. Worth every penny.

Brendon E. (verified owner) –
I LOVE the design of these mag extensions to minimize the footprint of the mag while gaining extra capacity. However, the follower continually presses out of the top of the mag. I wish that the follower was a revised polymer that would be similar to the S&W follower to stay within the mag casing. I will keep working them, but they have me very nervous on reliability.
Ioannis K. (verified owner) –
I purchased this for both the 8 and 7 round magazines. I recently had trouble with my 7 rounder, the spring would make a pop sound and I couldn’t put more than 5 rounds in it. When I took the mag apart I noticed the spring was bent. Anyhow, I have been eyeing this mod for a while now and decided it was time to try it out. I had some difficulty installing them(watch the install video), getting the spring in could be tricky, but as long as you use the base plate at the end, it helps keep it in place. After completing the installation, I noticed immediately a smoother spring action by pushing down with my finger and eventually loading rounds into the mag. I have currently fired 150 rounds with one problem, when reloading during a locked open, the next mag inserted wouldn’t chamber the first round without having to eject the mag, seat the round back into the mag(cause it comes out displaced), and reinsert the mag, tap and rack. This could be due to a break in period for the MagGuts mod, or it can be that the bullets I reloaded(flat points) don’t operate well with this mod. The inconsistency is that there were two seperate occasions, but the first time I had no problems(50 rounds), the second time I did(100 rounds). Either way I consider this product to be worthy of five stars regardless so far, it feels and functions like top quality material. If the same thing keeps happening in the future I will use factory ammo and run tests to see if this is an ammo issue or a MagGuts deficiency. I’ll post an update at some point.
Michael H. (verified owner) –
They’re not that easy to keep in place. I had to reinstall the Springs because they kept popping through the magazine the first couple times. Not sure if I’ll use them as a ccw mag.
Bradford W. (verified owner) –
Install was easy to accomplish using the supplied instructions. So far, I have run 75 rounds through each of the converted magazines with no malfunctions. I will run another couple of hundred rounds through them before I use them as my carry magazines but the initial impression is good.

I have several of the old design and the new in my Shield and bodyguard mags. Great product. I’ve not had any feeding issues with any. Would love to have more models available like the sig p365
Harrison K. (verified owner) –

Having one or two extra rounds in your carry magazine is a good idea . But it’s the magazine spring and follower that MagGuts got right . A good idea has to work !
Mark S. (verified owner) –
I just came back from the range and a thorough test of the +1 and +2 kits. After a few magazines of testing, this kit is performing perfectly. I gave the kits 5 stars, but the instructions only rate a 3. These kits have the new flat springs, but all the online instructions and videos show the old dual spring kit. I looked closely at the small diagram to make sure the spring went in the right way. But I wasn’t sure it was right until shooting with them. The +2 kit had a small feeding problem for the first two magazine loads, but afterward, performed flawlessly with a variety of ammunition. Having 8 & 10 is much better than having 7 & 8.
William H. (verified owner) –
have run several hundred rounds through after install with no problems. Love the plus 2 capacity and I don’t even notice the added fraction of an inch size difference. I plan on buying more for the rest of my magazines.
Michael T. (verified owner) –
The spring for the +2 extension I purchased has fairly sharp edges and corners. The item was packaged in a ziploc bag and sent in a plastic bubble type mailer. The package was squeezed or pressed in transit, the spring cut through the plastic, and, unfortunately, the MagGuts spring arrived twisted and bent. The package arrived on November 10, 2018 and I sent MagGuts Customer Service a message with pictures that same day. I received a response on November 12, 2018 stating they would send a replacement spring; however, as of November 20, 2018, I have not received a replacement or confirmation that it was even sent (I sent another email inquiry on November 19, 2018; no response from MagGuts). So as it currently stands, I paid a total of $35.90 for an magazine extension that is useless.

I have 500 rds through my Shield Plus 2 mod without a burp thus far. It’s real nice to have 10 rds for 5 rd training drills and the extra length is nice to the hand without being of any effect on conceilability. When I hit the 1,000rd mark trouble free I’ll be buying more.

This being my first Mag Guts purchase and install, I was able to change out the mag components in 3 minutes. It is that easy. I was at the range the next day trying it out. LOVE IT! Flawless operation. I especially like the 1/4 in it adds to my flush-mount, 7 Rd mag. Barely any added length, yet it gives just enough added pinky purchase to improve my grip. My only beef is the the deep mag well surface needs grip added to it. TOTALLY worthwhile purchase.

Eighty one rounds as fast as I could pull the trigger ( and hit anything) with zero problems. The new base plate adds 1/4 inch to the length which, besides adding a round, significantly improves my grip. I am very pleased with the product.

Joe F. (verified owner) –
This is my THIRD MagGuts magazine +2 extension for my M&P Shield 9mm. I’ve put at least 1000 rounds through one of them and it has functioned flawlessly. This extension add 2 rounds, but ONLY 1/4 inch in length to the OEM 8 round magazine. This brings the grip back-strap to a length of just a hair over 5 inches, which is exactly the same as the new Glock 43X (10 round magazine) back-strap length. Given that the Shield is every bit as reliable as the Glock, but costs 1/2 as much as the new Glock 43X (at this writing) – the MagGuts +2 round extension expands the value of the Shield dramatically. I’m not bashing Glocks (I own 3) but, if you own a 9mm Shield like I do, the MagGuts +2 extension gives your Shield the same mag capacity as the new Sig P365 or the new Glock 43X and you don’t have to change platforms or spend twice as much to switch to one of the newer 10 round 9mm micro handguns. Just keep your Shield and upgrade the mags with the MagGuts +2 extension.

My rating covers 3 areas. The first is shipping. I ordered the items and received a confirmation on the same day that my order was complete. On the following day, I received an email that my order shipped and should arrive in 3 days. I tracked the order a couple of days later and discovered it had not left MagGuts yet. I emailed MagGuts and was informed that my order was missing some pieces and could not ship until the arrived. I finally received my order 8 days (not 3) after it was placed. Secondly, I did have difficulty installing the springs and managed to cut my hand in 2 different places on the sharp edge of the springs. After finally getting them delivered and installed, they seem to work very well. I would give the product itself 5 stars but the delay and installation brought the rating down.

I left a review earlier this week and I offered a recommendation on how to make the installation of the +2 version for S&W much easier. I did have a problem twice where the spring end at the follower shifted to a single leaf rather than the fold of the spring showing in the end of the follower. You cannot load more than 8 rounds when this happens. This requires to re-install the spring.

This is my second time buying this product, and I must say so far so good!! No problems with it. Have had no malfunctions with about 150 rounds through it. Will be putting more rounds through them next range trip(3/30/19)😎 P.S. used on bought 7&8 rounds magazine!

The +2 did not fit and nobody responded to my email.

Very happy with end product. Installation was a little questionable, spring is very sharp and a little hard to get it to compress correctly. But once done it is great! Gonna get a +1 for my 7 round next.

Only better if it was cheaper and you sent someone out to install it for me!
Oh yeah, howsa ’bout makin’ a +2 spring for the new 12 round ETS Shield mags!

Just got back from the range after shooting my M&P Shield 9mm with magguts 10 round magazine conversions in two of my 8 round mags. Worked perfectly, no failure to feed or fail to eject issues. Highly recommend the magguts conversions.

Initially it took awhile to install, multiple tries. The springs were VERY difficult to install. If the springs do not set right it will not hold the additional rounds. With that being said once seated correctly it works! It fits the said amount and feeds through gun. I have yet to test it at the range. So I give it 4 stars because of difficulty and not actually testing it.
Austin Huckaby (verified owner) –
It’s been over three weeks and I did not receive my order. I confirmed with the post office that it was lost in transit. I cannot get mag guts to respond to my emails to help. What a waste of money. Very displeased.
Larry R. (verified owner) –
Awesome, awesome product. I ran 200rds through my Shield with the magguts mags with zero issues. Thank you so much for this ingenious product!
Harold (verified owner) –
Delivered promptly, everything went together as expected. Had to pay attention to direction of the spring so that the follower stayed in place. Make sure when loading to seat all rounds back, because I had an issue with HP’s catching on the front lip. When all the way back the tips point up correctly for feeding.
Paul R. (verified owner) –
Great product and fast shipping. Be very careful when installing the Z spring, its not only sharp but it can turn and fold inside the magazine. I had this issue initially and was only able to get 4 rounds in the magazine, I took the magazine apart and found the spring had folded in 2 points. I was able to straighten out the spring and get the +2 after careful installation to make sure the spring sits correctly. Customer service was great regarding the spring issue and so far the magazine has ran flawlessly through 300 rounds.
Jason S. (verified owner) –
Awesome product ! Now have 9+1 with a factory 7rd mag and it’s still smaller than the factory 8rd mag. The extension gives just enough extra for your pinkie to grip. Has worked flawlessly with @200 rds thru it so far

This is the 2nd +2 spring kit I’ve bought from Magguts. Easy to convert, and easier to load. One my first +2 kit for my Shield, I must have 300 rounds fired through it, zero issues. I loaded and unloaded the magazine about 10 times just to settle in the spring. There are other options out there, but I am not willing to add”significant” length to the magazine, so I chose Magguts kit. My opinion, it’s the ONLY WAY TO GO!!

About half the time it is too stiff to load the 10th round by hand requiring a mag loading device. Other than that, everything has functioned perfectly since day one! (Side note: make sure you seat your springs correctly! I had failure-to-feed’s with mine until I reseated the spring.)

Works as advertised. I had to insert the spring twice to get it to accept 10 rounds, but has worked flawlessly so far. I bought this one to see for myself, but now will order more … I’m more comfortable carrying 10-rounds than 8 in my Shield!
Al (verified owner) –
Function so far has been reliable after my test at the range, operated without an issue, but the fit is really bad, left a huge gap where the extended magazine is and the end cap is rubbing my hand.
The engineering function may have been designed well but the fit leaves a lot to be desired, I will be trying Hyve soon.

Bought 3 of the magGut springs for my MP Shield 9mm. A little tricky to install, but I must confess I didn’t even watch the u-tube video as suggested and only followed the instructions included. Worked flawlessly through about 50 rounds each at the range. Very pleased I now have 3 magazines that hold 10 rounds each for this hand gun. I only hope MagGuts makes this option available for more magazines. I would especially like to see something in .45 ACP.

Easier install than previous versions. Great capacity. It pokes the pad of my palm because it’s sharp. I wish the back part was extended and rounded. I also wish there was a pinky lip extension to hold on better. The base installed is smaller than the 8 round mag.

I initially installed improperly and was really frustrated because I could only add one round instead of two. I then watched the video on the Magguts website (watch the video!! And not one on YouTube, that didn’t help, watch it on the website!!). I wasn’t inserting the spring properly into the follower, plus I tried to put the bottom edge of the magazine and the locking block into the same slot on the baseplate when the locking block actually rides above it. It works perfectly now, great product and an idiot installer.

I had researched your product and a competitor for quite a while. My decision to go with you was based on what I thought was a great product. The price was reasonable and delivery was very fast. I was so excited to install it that I actually bent the spring so it could not be used. Totally my fault!! As a last resort I e- mailed the company and explained that I was a mechanical midget and asked if they could reshape the spring for me. To my surprise the next day they contacted me and said a new spring was on the way. I installed it in about 3 minutes and so far it works perfect.
Great product, fast delivery , and outstanding customer service. I will be ordering another one and spreading the good word.
Thanks

This is a very good way to add +2 rounds capacity to your Shield. Watch the video first. It takes less than 3 minutes to install…if you pay attention. If it will not load into your shield with the slide closed..you have installed it wrong. I had one mag work right away…the other mag took me 7 times to get the spring into the follower correctly. Now I am packing 11 rounds in my CCW and very satisfied.
Ryan K. (verified owner) –
To be honest it takes a bit to break In Your MagGuts +2. One kit I got 10 in with medium force and the other I got 9 in with medium force. So after about 200 round on the mag I could only fit 1 in, I was able to get the second one in. Just know it’s aftermarket and you may have to play with it a little bit but they work flawlessly NO JAMS and I’m very happy. Good product just be a little patient

The lenght lands right between the factory 7 and 8 round mags, just enough for your pinky but can still be concealed easily! So far I have ran a couple hundred rounds fast and slow with no issues. Slide locks back every time. I will definitely be getting a 2nd one soon for my backup mag!

Overall, I’m very happy with the product. I learned about MagGuts from my local FFL after purchasing the Shield 2.0 9mm. Ordering was easy. The only bad part part was the delivery service. I had to pay $9.00 for 2 day “Priority” shipping and it took 3 days. After emailing MagGuts about this, requesting to have my shipping payment refunded for not providing the specified service for which I paid, I still have not heard back from them, nor received my refund. The product performs as advertised, but their shipping leaves something to be desired.

These work great. I initially had some trouble on the install because I wasn’t correctly aligning the first fold in the spring under the follower. If you look from the side, the first bend in the spring should be peeking out from under the front of the follower. Watch the install video on the site for clarification. Once installed correctly, they run great.

Got the plus two MagGuts and it worked out perfect for my smith & Wesson Shield 9mm instead of 9 total now I can have 11 total which is awesome and still fits Perfect in my N82 holster doesn’t hang off at all which is awesome. I shot about 100 rounds through it no jams or anything ran flawlessly. Just make sure u get the spring in right is the only thing u got to watch out for make sure u can see the spring on the side of the mag once u get it in and u will see the spring n it folded up right but other than that it is awesome and highly recommend for the shield to give u 11 shots out instead of 9 for a single stack and to have 11 shot is amazing. I love it and will be doing it to all my other mags.
Dan Faust (verified owner) –
Once I got everything installed correctly it works great. No problems whatsoever. My only reason for not giving is product 5 stars is that getting the Spring to seat properly was NOT easy. I watched the video and read the instructions, but I still had difficulty getting it right.
Bottom line, would I buy a MagGuts +2 kit for my 9 mm Shield again? YES! I plan to buy another kit because I have one more magazine that I carry.

If someone from mag guts will take a look, and get it where it will hold plus two vs. plus one. In any event, I’m happy to get plus one … but I really bought it for plus two. I’ll be more than happy to change to 5 stars if MG can walk me through installation to get to plus two. Shipping was fast.

I installed this kit on the 8 round Shield extended mag.
Kind of tough to put together. Instructions weren’t very clear as to how the floor plate and the piece on the bottom of the spring with the detent go together.
it took me several tries, but I finally figured it out.
It was extremely difficult to get that 10th round in the magazine. I had to use a Uplula magazine loader. Once loaded it is tough to get the magazine to lock in. you have to really slam it home. I left the mag loaded for a week and it seemed to ease up slightly. It fed fine with no issues. Still not easy to get that last in, but doable. I haven’t put a lot of rounds through it yet, but so far so good.
Updated 01/13/2020:
I recently submitted a review for the +2 kit for the S&W Shield 9mm that was less than favorable.
I stated that the magazine was very hard to load the 10th round into the 8 round extended magazine with the +2 kit installed.
You guys got right back to me by email with a diagram that showed the correct way the spring should be positioned under the follower.
I corrected it and let me say it works fantastic.
It turns out the problem was me and how I re assembled the magazine. Lesson learned. Take your time. If you are having any issues shoot the folks at Magguts an email and they will get right back to you with the help you need.
Now it’s almost as easy to load as the magazine with the factory spring. Feeds perfectly too! I wanted to say how happy I am with the product now. I will be buying more of these +2 kits for extra magazines in the future for sure! I will also recommend them to my friends. Thanks for making such a great product!
admincorso (store manager) –
It should not be difficult to get that last round in the magazine and it certainly should not be difficult to seat the mag in the gun. Please refer to an email that we sent from support that should help you figure out what is going on and resolve this. The converted mag should load and lock into the mag well with no more difficulty than the pre-converted mag.

Install on the Shield +2 kit was straightforward but make sure to read the directions as the spring needs to be installed properly not like the factory. I installed the kit on two magazines and fount that they were not unusually harder to load using a Lula loader. I put about 250 rounds through the two magazines and they functioned flawlessly. I am a happy customer as I can now carry 21 rounds total between two magazines and one in the chamber. Good products, 5 stars

Gary Ohm (verified owner) –
I own four of these. One for my 7-round mag and three for 8-round magazines. The first one I bought went in perfectly and functioned flawlessly from the beginning. Two of the next three did not. After much tinkering and straightening and re-bending of the spring I figured it out. When the directions say you have to be able to see the first bend of the spring in the follower, they really mean it. The two that were not working had bound up in the magazine and were not properly aligned. I was able to get the properly aligned and now they work flawlessly. I don’t THINK this will cause an issue with reliability as there isn’t that much room for the spring to twist and turn in the magazine once it’s installed properly. That said, I marked the two with the “troubled” springs and will use them at the range for a long while before I use them for daily carry. All this said, I believe the issue was MY FAULT because I did not heed the directions. If you follow the directions the installation is easy and fool proof. You may have to nudge the spring to get it to align properly at first, but after that it seems to function perfectly. Having an easy extra two rounds is a great feeling. I’ll look forward to seeing extensions for double stack magazines in the future. 9mm double stack, 40 double stack, and 10mm double stacks would be on my short lists…
Gary H. (verified owner) –
I’ve been carrying the version 2.0 +2 Magguts since right after they came out and it has been flawless. This version 3.0 is an improvement with the plastic follower and attached end plate. Now I have two 7 round mags upgraded to 9 rounds. Really a great feeling to have 9+1 rounds of 9mm in such a small handgun with very little increase in mag length.

+2 kits installed in the shorter 7 round shield mags. Install was simple. I tested them extensively with zero malfunctions. The size is just right, a bit more to grip but still shorter than the factory 8 round. They are in service for me as of now.

Quick delivery. Easy to install
JEFFREY (verified owner) –
The purchase was simple. Delivered promptly. Product good quality. Installation a bit tricky. It took me 1 hour to convert my first mag, with much swearing and spring launching. It took me one minute to do the second one. It’s important to partially install the new base plate while you squeeze the spring through the remaining space so you can close it fully once you’ve got it all tucked in. Once I learned that, installation was simple. Thanks. Product works great except it’s a little harder to drive a full (10 round) mag home when inserting it.
Austin C. (verified owner) –
Product works great, +2 rounds and not that much more length added cant complain. The only issue that I’ve had is when loading I’ve noticed that the follower will get stuck after loading 3-4 rounds and they will fall out until I unjam it. This has only happened 2 times with 100+ rounds through each of my mags so I’m not that worried. It could’ve just been the way I pushed a round in.

Easy to find fitment, ordering and shipment was fast. Ease of installation. HIGHLY recommend this shield +2 for those that want the extra capacity whether you max out your load in your magazine. It only extended the magazine bay about 1/8 of an inch. Must still use your old magazine sleeve.

Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to make them work at all with the 7rd or 8rd S&W factory magazines, and will need to return them. Re-read the instructions, had others try, no way to either slide the new baseplate on, or press it over the flanges at the base of the magazine. SHIELD 9mil 2.0.

Carlos Ramirez (verified owner) –
Easy to install, and worked flawlessly: I put over 200 rounds through right after I got it and did not experience any failures. An added bonus it that it allows me to get a better grip on the gun without sacrificing concealment. I carry this everyday and have another kit on the way for my extra mag. Excellent product!

Was worried the first few times loading because only had a stiff +1 and couldn’t push the mag in without the slide back. Once I compressed the spring manually it functioned properly and got the +2 and loaded with the slide closed

NORMAN C. (verified owner) –
This is a quality product that is well made and assembled as advertised. Unfortunately, the right rear of the base plate comes to a decided point that dug into the palm of my shooting hand. That part needs a little engineering and rounded to eliminate the issue. Unfortunately, I had to return the magazine extensions. This was a disappointment as two additional rounds to my 9mm S&W Shield would have been great. S&W should have done this at the factory. On the plus side, great customer service.

Assembly took a little finesse but was overall easy. Due to virus shut down of ranges have not been able to proof test.
Jack L. (verified owner) –
Product is best on the market. The extra length on the grip is great and 2 extra rounds could mean the difference between life and death in a worse case scenario. I bought 2, one for my concealed carry and one for backup.
However, the instructions need to be better as they do not match the 8+2 product. A close up photo of the base plate installation would be helpful. I had to remove and reinstall the spring because it wasn’t seated properly and the magazine would only accept 9 rounds.
It takes more force to seat the magazine into the pistol. I noticed that when I installed the magazine with 1 in the chamber, the slide would move back slightly on 2 of my 4 Smith and Wesson magazines.

i have ran about 500 rounds thru both mags where i have the magguts +2 extension, and so far its been 100% reliable, slide locks back everytime, no ftf or fte, so far im super happy with the purchase because it adds 2 extra rounds, the extension is only about 1/4″ longer than the stock 8rd mag.
A++++++
Kevin (verified owner) –
Got them quick and they work great in both my mags
Michael (verified owner) –
So far so good! I’ve only had the chance to put a few hundred rounds through the mag with the +2 extension added. Had one stovepipe malfunction less than 30 rounds in, but that may have been just been the ammo or maybe the new Magguts spring setting in. Either way it has not happened again in the few hundred rounds I have ran through it. My only “con” would be the way it fits to the bottom of the frame when installed. It adds negligible length to the 7 Rd mag which is awesome, but leaves a little gap at the base of the palm swell, in a spot where the factory base plates are designed to fill this space. More of an annoyance, and shouldn’t effect shooting performance at all. Great product for adding just a little more firepower and confidence to your EDC or pocket gun.

These things are awesome. I’ve increased my mag capacity and the work flawlessly. Love them.
Peter R. (verified owner) –
With 10 in the mag and one in the chamber, first trigger pull was a light strike. Getting 10th round in mag was very hard. Inserting mag into gun with a closed slide took a very heavy smack and multiple tries. I removed 1 “V” from the spring to make more room in the mag, got some light strikes and some fires on first round. Removed another “V” and now mag insertion is reasonable, no light strikes in 20 tries. No problem with last round loading from mag to chamber. But, don’t know if I will trust it if I really need it. Put the old guts back.
Max (verified owner) –
It is a really good idea, but it didn’t line up with my M&P shield…there is a lip that just makes holding the gun in pleasant…also when the mag is fully loaded and you have one in the camber, you have to FORCE the mag into the gun. Maybe try and figure that out? And this would be a home run product

This 3 mag conversion is still ongoing. I had a very difficult time installing the springs correctly, even after watching two utube videos several times. After successful assembly I was only able to insert (1) 9mm cartridge into each mag, even using a speed loader. I’m waiting delivery of a better, more powerful loader to see if I can finally load cartridges. I’ll let you know the result and agree to change my Rating if successful.

It only makes my factory 8rd mag add one round instead of 2rds. I have an older +2 and it has the flat metal follower and that one works great.

The converted magazine will take the additional two rounds easily. The problem you describe is a symptom that the spring was not seated properly under the follower during assembly. Please refer to the email we sent from support with instructions to help you get it working properly.

I love the fact I can keep the same size on my 7 round mag and upgrade to 8 round with not having to sacrifice its external size, thats HUGE! I also got the +2 for my 8 round, yes it slightly increased the size but anything else that’s out there that increases by +2 is more bulkier. Hands down best mod increase out there that keeps your mag size small, home run for me.

Can currently get 10 to fit in my 8rd mag but it wont go into the gun. I can go to 9 and push it in/load up fine but once 10 are in it wont lock into the gun no matter how much force I give it. Going to try to release the slide and slam it in there every now and then to break it in or something for awhile. Worked on my 9 from 7 just fine.
The install was probably one of the more difficult and frustrating installations I’ve ever done. It probably took me a total of 5 hours to finish with springs flying all over the place and minor cuts w/ curse words involved.
That said, amazing product if you can get it in and working. 4/5 because the installation was a hassle, most of the videos I found that explained how to do it were outdated with what looked to be an older spring. That and the fact that it’s not working on my 8rd mag yet.

Yeehaw y’all! How often does the video advertisement actually meet expectations, right? Trust me on this one, MagGuts delivers exactly what they claim.
My semi-arthritic hands struggled a bit with the installation of the replacement spring kits (ordered 2) for my S&W Shield 9mm. When I finally accomplished the task, it worked.
I haven’t been to the range yet to see how well the rebuilt magazines perform, but everything feeds & ejects the same.
The satisfieing part of the entire transaction was the minimal shipping cost (and no tax).
Giddy up! Gotta try this out y’all…
Anonymous (verified owner) –
I am happy with my purchase. For those that have difficulty with fitting the extra rounds in I did two things.
First: VERY CAREFULLY compress the springs in your hands to ensure that they can seat properly without added pressure. This may get better over time, or you can do this to help them “settle” quicker
Second: Look at the instructions and make sure that the spring seats properly in the underside of the platform.
Third: Make sure that the proper metal tab on the side of the magazine enters the right groove in the new base. I did this incorrectly the first time and was frustrated. Now by doing it properly with the lower capacity magazine I can carry two more rounds +1 comfortably.

While I can get the 10th round in the 9mm magazine I then can’t seat the magazine without possibly damaging the magazine release.
Cannot even come close to getting the 8th round in the .40 magazine. I am leaving both loaded to see if they might relax some. But I think it will be quite impossible to get that one extra round in the .40 magazine.

There is no +2 MagGuts conversion available for the .40. As stated on the product page, it is “Not compatible with Shield .40”. The +2 9mm conversion for the Shield will function in the .40, but will only add one round just as you report. Also, the +1 conversion will add one round to either the 9mm or .40. Please contact our support at support@magguts.com if you need any further assistance.

It’s awesome n I can still conceal carry Bc it’s only a 1/4 longer than the original 8 round. And I’ll got two more to make another 8 a 10 and I made my 7 a 9. Pretty awesome and to have that many rounds in a single stack gun. Thank you mag guts.

Product works as intended at the range first time, put 200 rounds through it. Once or twice the slide failed to lock back after the last round in the magazine. Also, installation was painful and Ive never cut myself So much like an emo person with the razor sharp top of the spring. The company made it seem so simple but me and my best friend were getting deep cuts from it even with thick gloves on. But it does hold two more and it is compact and it seems to work fine.

I purchased 2 magguts kits for my Shield 2.0 9mm and installed them on the 8 round mags. I’ve now run 8 full mags thru each one and have had Zero problems. As advertised the conversion does extend the grip beyond the length of the Factory 8 round mag. However, as a new shooter I appreciate the extra real estate to wrap my XL hands around.
Highly recommend

A few years ago I bought a few magazine extenders for a different pistol. It consisted of a deeper base plate – It wouldn’t feed. Now maybe I was supposed to use 115 gr. bullets instead of 124 gr. The kit was considerably less expensive, but if is doesn’t it doesn’t work it is a waste of money. THIS KIT WORKS! Not only for 124grain, but also for 147 grain. It is easy to install, but the springs will cut you if your aren’t careful. And as the instructions say: if you can’t get the last round in, take it apart and check that you have installed the spring in the follower properly. Also, on the 8rd. magazine you will have to modify the loose plastic piece in order to have the magazine insert easily. Always expect to have to do a little extra work to get kit to work perfectly.
Very happy with my purchase. Will be back for more.

Very nice, Quality product. When assembled correctly, mag will hold + 2 ends, feeds well and even adds a bit more force to locking in the slide stop, (Great help for us people that tend to rest our thumb on that little lever) Little challenging to assembly until you have done it 3 to 4 times, but once you get the trick of holding spring/follower/end cap, assembly goes well. Pay attention to the note about seeing the corner of the spring under the follow, if the spring does not show there mag will still work well, but only +1 rounds can be inserted.

The product works as advertised and was very easy to install. What makes my rating a 4 instead of a 5 is based on comfort. The small cutout/notch created from the extension on the bottom of the back strap feels awkward in my hand. When I grip a pistol, I want it to be firm and for lack of a better word “complete”. The grip I have with the extended mag in place does not feel complete because of the notch pushing into my palm. I suspect I will get used to this over time but if not my rating would likely go down because it doesn’t make sense for two extra rounds if the pistol doesn’t feel right in my hand.

I put the magguts in my 7 round Shield magazine. It is very nice and works great. Now, I have a 9 round mag and can carry 8+1 for 9 rounds. Its definitely worth it and makes the 7 round very usable and no more pinky hanging off.
Daniel D. (verified owner) –
It works perfectly and when installed on the 7 round mag, gives me just enough extra space to hold on to better. I’ve seen a couple reviews where they complain the spring is too stiff, but it my experience it was only overly stiff the first time loading it. I’m impressed and will be buying more for my other pistols.

Charles Bland (verified owner) –
Very easy to install and works flawlessly. It will only allow a +1 in the 7rnd mag unless you cut the spring down a little. Adds a lot of tension tension in the 8rnd mag when loaded to 10. Requires a really solid forceful load to seat the mag as the grip spacer bottoms out slightly. It’s like loading an m4 mag with 30rounds on a closed bolt. Not too bad but does require that extra bit of force or it won’t seat properly.
Slide still locks to the rear and mags still drop free. It’s the single best upgrade to the shield platform especially if you trim a little off one spring for the 7rnd mag to get a +2 instead of plus one adding 4 more rounds to your carry.
It added more then the 1/8” as advertised though.. it’s much closer to 1/4”. Might not sound like much but it will print just a tiny bit more similar to a compact pistol would.
admincorso (store manager) –
Thanks for posting this review. You do not need to trim the spring in order to get +2 in the 7 round magazine. It should easily take the extra two rounds (unless you are using this in a .40). The +2 conversion is only compatible with the Shield 9mm. We sent an email from support to to help you.
Also, we advertise that it adds 1/4″, not 1/8″.

Replaced older cupped dual spring version with newer version. Easy install. No alignment issues. Easy to load every time. Cannot comment on function because I have not shot with it yet. New follower seems to lock slide back reliably when hand racked. Extended base plate does not affect carry/conceal appreciably.

Your product is fantastic you have refined it very nicely I purchased the original ones were they were all in pieces and you had to figure it out like a puzzle now it’s all together I just bought three of them for my M&P Shield plus 2 and was very easy to go together although I did notice that the spring seemed a little bit lighter hope that’s not going to be an issue and maybe once it breaks in it’ll be fine I’m sure it will be great product keep it going I could still use your mag guts for a P99 or it’s also known as a Smith & Wesson 99 compact 40 caliber original magazine is 8 rounds would like to expand that to 10 Rounds they didn’t make this firearm for very long the full size and the compact it’s a collaboration between Walter and Smith & Wesson I’m sure you guys probably know something about it if you get a magguts + 2 for that particular firearm please let me know. Great job thank you stephen k.

M&P Shield +2 in 8 round mag +1 in 7 round mag. Install can be a bit difficult but fixes the weak spring problem in the OE mag, mine would collapse on itself causing failure to feed towards end of mag, plus gives me a few extra shots between reloads at range. Will buy more.

Maybe because it’s still new and hasn’t settled in I had to only put 9 rounds in the clip because it’s hard to put the clip in the gun with 10 rounds in the clip.. don’t want to force the clip in the gun.. I did make sure the spring was properly installed.. I installed MagGuts in 3 clips and have the same problem with each. I do like the extra 1/4″ on the end makes it feel better in my hands.. I haven’t been able to use them on the range yet to see how they perform.. but will keep you posted… hey 9 it better than 8 and we will try for a 10.. 🙂

This took my factory 8 round mag up to 10 rounds, with no negative impact on function. I did need to file down the back of the factory collar a bit to get it to sit flush on the baseplate, but that took all of 2 minutes and sits perfectly now.

assembly was good and seems to work better with the 8 rd, shield mag. A bit tight in the 7 rd mag, and bulges the mag out, causing to stick a bit in the mag well. It should release and drop freely once rounds are cycled out through firing. Will find out.

Ordered two kits, one installed and runs flawlessly so far, the other z spring snapped clean just above the base upon installation. Reported issue to Corso for replacement and a new spring is on its way. The modified mag barely adds any size to the grip and the little guy still feels perfectly balanced, I’ve ran about 100 rounds through it so far and I find them just as reliable as the factory springs, looking forward to the next one. Great product and great service. I trust them enough for EDC which I can’t say for the 12 round mods and extended mags, I’ve tried both the +4 modifier that’s out there and the 12 round aftermarket polymer mag junk and while they’re nice at the range I wouldn’t carry them for defense. The magguts +2 is simple to install and so far it’s solid. Don’t sell/trade/lock up your Shield for a 43 or 365 because it’s got 2 more rounds… Instead just buy one or two of these.

It’s hard to install but it is doable. I get +2 on my shield 8rd mag. But during 7rd mag installation, the z-spring was broken. Contact Magguts support for helps, they sent me a replacement z-spring right away after confirming the z-spring is broken. Magguts does stand behind their products. I would like to say thanks to Magguts.
Note that if you cannot get extra rounds as promised, re-install the spring. Make sure you can see the spring end snaps onto the left corner of the follower then you can install the base plate.
I will do business again with Magguts.

Anonymous (verified owner) –
The newer flat spring kits do not play well with base plate extensions to gain additional rounds. That said.. I’ll take the smaller profile of the magguts system over a large baseplat any day. For some reason the +2 shield kits seem to be plus 1 or plus 2 in the 7rnd flush mags. They are not really advertised as +2 for the 7rnd mags however it is possible. Idk why but if the several kits I’ve got I can get 9 rounds in a 7rnd mag wo issue. I couldn’t do this before with a prior kit which is identical? Idk why? It these are 100% reliable in factory mags and 10x better for edc then extended base plates.
I’ll be the first to admit I do run my 8 round mags with extended plates over the magguts setup but this has nothing to do with actual reality. This is more so me wa thing to keep as many factory parts (aka spring, follower etc..) for reliability concerns even though I’ve never ever had issue with the 7 or 8 round mags with magguts kits installed. I still run it in the 7rnd mag in the gun and get 9+1 from it. My 2 soared run hyve +2 based though cause I just feel more confident running as many factory parts as possible.

I like the low profile of the extended base plate but there just no way you can squeeze +2 into the factory 7 round magazine. This defeats the purpose for this purchase. An extended mag base plate that’s aluminum will work the same for the same price and even cheaper if you buy a plastic one.

Bought 2 kits, make sure the spring is properly installed under the follower, took a couple attempts. Had an issue with 1, hopefully it corrected itself, but the follower stuck then after pulling the mag, dumped all the rounds after turning it upside down.

I have to be honest here, I was not quite sure what to expect after reading some of the negative comments prior to purchasing. I am wholeheartedly giving it five stars for the directions and the end result.
The directions stated if not successful on the first attempt remove everything and start over from Step 1 and guess what it work absolutely perfect. I was only able to get nine rounds after my first attempt imagine, following the directions then reinstalling it and getting 10 Rounds into the mag just as easily as the stock mag!!!!
As a side note I recently purchased the shield 9 plus performance Edition so this magazine along with the three others of my shield 1.00 will serve as backup because that new Smith & Wesson Shield Plus performance Edition is absolutely amazing😳😳😳… With 13 rounds and no change in the size, I can only imagine if maggots could make some for that addition that would put 15 rounds into the new Shield plus performance Edition and that would be freaking incredible

Looking forward to getting this to the range. It will put me in the same class as the new shield plus at considerable less cost.
Samuel W. (verified owner) –
Ultimately I am happy with mag guts. I wanted the +2 option as opposed to spending on a new handgun with almost identical specs like the hellcat or P365. It is just not really worth spending so much on something that only out performs the shield in capacity and not much else. This is the lowest profile option to add more rounds to your existing mag. Read the directions and then read them a second time. If the spring isnt properly seated in the follower you will have difficulty loading your last round and inserting the mag. It should be easy to load and insert, if it isn’t you didnt assemble the spring properly like I did the first time. Other than that it seems to operate just as well as factory springs. I wish the baseplate conformed to the gun a little better but it’s still very concealable with the extended mag just slightly more of a print. Shipping took 10 days instead of 3 but I was not in a rush. I would consider mag guts for my other pistols and recommend them to friends.

Once properly installed and fully compressed, the Z-spring is absolutely better than the OEM progressive rate spring.
I opted for the +2 kit for my 8rnd magazines, and I love the fact that I can have 10 rounds in this single stack subcompact.

They work with Samson Manufacturing’s Compact Magwell unlike other manufacturers magazine extensions giving you the best combination of minimalism and capacity.

States such as California has a 10 round mag. In order for guns to be sold they must make two types of magazines and sometimes they cut corners making the magazine difficult to load rounds. With Magguts springs, this eliminates the needs for new magazine…
James Greene (verified owner) –
Quick install, no malfunctions of any type plus 2 more rounds. What is not to like? I hope MagGuts can do the same for the Shield Plus. Then I’ll by one!

I bought two magGuts or two magazines, It did fit 10 bullets in a magazine. I tried to types of ammo hollow points and fmj it was still tight. The 10 bullet was hard to put in. When I put the magazine in my shield had to hit it hard enough for it to lock.

I bought 2, plus 2 for the 8rd mags and 1, plus 2 for the 7 rd mag. Both of the 8 (now 10 rd) mags are difficult to seat in the weapon when fully loaded. It really takes a ‘slap’ with the heel of my hand to seat them properly. The 7 (now 9 rd) mag seems to seat just fine. I’m not sure what the reason for this is other than the follower spring might need to ‘settle in’ before it fits properly. My other concern with the larger cap mags is that I’m afraid the mags will eject when firing either at a slow rate or rapidly. I made certain I followed the directions to install the products. I also made certain the the spring was properly seated up against the follower as per the videos on YouTube. Please understand that I have yet to live fire with any of these mags. So, I can’t confirm that there are any definite issues. I am rotating the larger cap mags in/out of my weapon just to see if they need to adapt to the new springs.

Found out about MagGuts while searching for larger magazines for my 1.0 Shield. Watched some positive reviews and decided that I would give them a shot. Installation was straight forward after reviewing the diagram in the package. My 7 round factory magazine now holds 9 rounds, and is still shorter than the factory 8 round magazine. Put these through the paces at the range and everything was flawless.
Overall I am quite impressed with MagGuts and what they have to offer.
Matthew G. (verified owner) –
These are an excellent compromise between larger capacity and larger mass especially when compared to other 9 or 10 round mags.

Excellent customer service and product. I bought 2 mag guts when installing the 1st one the spring constantly became twisted and would not load correctly. The 2nd one worked perfectly. I reached out to mag guts and they responded immediately letting me know they we’re sending another one to me ASAP at no charge to myself. It arrived a few days later along with a shipping label to return the defective one. Could not be happier with the product and excellent customer service experience along with the two extra rounds. 😁
Miguel (verified owner) –
Great product that does what it is intended to do. Easy to put together and it really does not extend the original magazine by very much. I appendix carry and it did not imprint anymore than it did prior to adding the MagGut extension. I highly recommend the product.

Love everything but the price–$36 with shipping is a lot for 2 extra rounds
John Albert (verified owner) –
Close, but no cigar. Can’t get 10 rounds in there yet. Maybe after the spring softens a bit, I don’t know.
EDIT: In my original review, I gave three stars and said I could only get nine rounds into my eight round factory Shield magazine, using the plus two kit. I also saw an online review where someone else said the same thing.
Well, Mag Guts to the rescue with a diagram and an explanation that the spring wasn’t properly seated in the follower, took care of the problem. After reassembly, the mag now easily takes ten rounds as advertised. Haven’t shot yet, but I don’t anticipate any issues. Five stars.

Processing & shipping were timely and email notifications during that process was welcome. I have only put less than 50 rounds through each of my 7 round magazines and have not had any failures. Even though the description states to only use OEM magazines, I used a 7 round ProMag magazine. The base plate fitting was a bit tight on the side rails but they work. I suspect that if I filed down the magazine side rails by .5mm or less, it may have been a better fit. No idea on reliability but just wanted to put this out there since I didn’t find anything on the interwebs of anyone trying this…
James S. (verified owner) –
I have used these before and they are very simple and easy and will allow for maximum capacity and does not enlarge the footprint for concealed carry.

Well I would have given you a 5 but ,,, I bought 2 kits and the first one went together very easily and seams to be working good the 2nd one well that one I fought the hole way to get the spring to seat correctly. After looking at the spring under a magnifying glass, I found that the spring had burrs and was not tapered like the ones below it. I got one of my wife’s emery boards and smoothed off the burrs I finely got the spring to seat properly. Both magazines now seam to be working good, but I haven’t been to the range to function test them yet.

I was not able to get the +2 extension installed in my Shield magazine. I honestly don’t know if I screwed it up or received a bad set but the spring kinked up and wouldn’t remain straight in the magazine, it flattened out against the front wall of the magazine. I’m giving it a “3” only because of my uncertainty of fault. It’s a shame because I really wanted it to work. The slight increase in length gave me a good three finger purchase on the 7 round magazine.

Steve S. (verified owner) –
The assembly is not the easiest I have done, I can see where some would have trouble, that I hear about in the forums. What I ran into was on 2 new factory S&W 8 round mags after assembly they would not lock going in unless you really pounded it. I disassembled and checked without the spring and still had to hit it hard to lock. I opened a new mag and the same results. I had to file the top of the floor cover to finally lock as it should. I have 4 other style extended kits on mags and they all work perfectly. I was going to buy 4 more kits after seeing the results and this one but I am holding off now and see how they perform on the range. I really don’t want to buy another of yours to see if it is the same way or was it a bad part. Any help would be appreciated.

Overall, this is a very good product. I discovered that the customer support department is quick to respond and quick to act. My first shipment had been severely abused by the USPS to the point that the spring was completely mangled and useless. One email with photos netted me a new kit – in a box this time.
Assembly took about 5 minutes, and I didn’t even have to leave my recliner.
Function: You’re going to need a loader for this. This magazine loads extremely tightly. The first time, I got 10 rounds into it. The next two times, I was only able to force 9 rounds into it. In fact, I even managed to dent the 9th round with the loader. I took the magazine apart and blew some dust and lint out of it. The 4th load took all 10 rounds, but quite tight. The 5th and 6th loads have been acceptable, but don’t get too far away from your loader.
This product is going to work fine in my carry gun. I like the fact that now I have 10+1 instead of 8+1. If I had to use it in battle every day, it wouldn’t work out.

Easy to install. Very good directions online. No problem turning an 8 round magazine into a 10 round magazine. They function flawlessly. The only minor issue is that when loading the magazine or unloading it manually, some ammo tends to get caught, requiring slamming the bottom or the back edge of the magazine to straighten things out. I thought this may cause malfunctions when when firing, but it did not. Range performance with various ammo was flawless. Great job getting rid of my “capacity envy” on my 1st generation M&P Shield.

Everything worked as advertised, extended my mags by +2. Initial mag fitment when freshly installed is a bit tight but works just fine and will surely break in. It has already gotten easier after a week or so. Haven’t had any cycling issues yet either.
I notice some reviews about how they are only getting +1, and I wanted to add that on my initial installation of the first one, I had aligned the spring wrong, giving me only +1. Then I looked at the instruction picture closer and noticed my error. That spring needs to be aligned exactly as it says/is pictured, so pay close attention to that. After that everything worked just fine.

Nice to get 10 rounds in the 8 round magazine. Took two assemblies to get it straight. As far as testing, I’ve only shot 10 rounds so far. So I am not able to comment on reliability yet.

The product arrived really quick, which was nice. It installed easily, instructions were good. I haven’t taken the weapon to the range since the install, but it functions just fine. The product seems to be beefier and better made than the factory spring. I’ll be buying more for my other mags, as well as for my ruger & sig.

After installation of both the 7 and 8-round magazines I was able to load 9 rounds into the 7-round magazine without problem, but it was almost impossible to load the 10th round into the 8-round magazine. Although I was able to jam it in everything about loading the firearm was difficult from here on. Test fire about a hundred rounds and it did not jam at all whatsoever. However, when I later watch the installation video from Maggutsdotcom on YT, I figured out that I did the installation wrong on the 8-round magazine. Did a redo then It’s working flawlessly now so be sure to follow the video to a T. I couldn’t be happier with this product. Thank you.

Surprised in a good way, followed directions and it was a little fiddle’y but assembled fine. Loading rounds would have been a challenge on last few but I have a Magula and that made it a snap. I loaded and unloaded a few times then it was easier. Glad to have 10+1 now for a S&W shield 2.0.

Installation is tricky, but I got it eventually. The instructions tell you what it looks like if you got it wrong, but not really how to avoid getting it wrong. Once installed, the modified baseplate doesn’t play very nice with the part on the magazine that’s supposed to support your pinky. With a bit of filing, though, everything is working pretty well.

I really like this mag extension kit. It adds 2 round to my 8 round mag for the MP Shield. Additionally, the 1/4 inch it adds to the mag length makes a huge difference for my large hands, giving me a much better grip on my pistol. I carry IWB Appendix position and the extension is no issue as far as concealability. I now have great confidence carrying 10 + 1 rounds of 9mm as my EDC.

I bought the Mag Guts 8 round to 10 round conversion kits. I was so happy with it, I bought three more for my other 8 round magazines. I didn’t view the video on their site and assembled my magazines like I thought was correct. I did it entirely wrong and distorted the springs on all three Mag Guts. I asked for guidance from Mag Guts and they had me send a picture of my three Mag Guts springs. They told me they were going to replace them for me and also gave me guidance on how to properly do the conversion, That is first class customer service. I highly recommend Mag Guts got both their product and their customer service. I’m one happy camper.

An absolute fight to get this kit installed. The spring doesn’t want to assemble easily. Could be operator error. The shield plus mag kit went together much easier but it’s follower is different to. Will need to run the mag a BUNCH more before coming to a conclusion on reliability and ruggedness.

Second purchase this time for Shield. Two of the three went in with minimal effort. The third one did not want to cooperate. Contacted customer service provide information and picture and they sent me a new spring. The two that installed first time worked flawless at a high rate of fire will test the other one soon. Good product, good service, still need one more +2 for the Plus.
Gary C. (verified owner) –
Recommended! This is the third one I have purchased because they work as advertised and are reliable (a little tight when loading the tenth round though.) When installing, be sure to push the new spring straight into the magazine, without letting it bend over, otherwise it will not work properly.

The install is simple yet complex, the spring very easily will bend on itself and the followers feel a bit thin but work as long as the spring is Ali ed properly inside the mag. I upgraded 4 M&P shield 9mm mags and once I got everything aligned they seem to feed ok. The followers did get stuck a few times but once I cycled cartridges through them a few times they seemed to settle and started cycling properly. For now they seem to work. I do like how the new bottom plate is very minimal so no printing concealed and perfect length for the pinky even on the original 7 round mag which is now 9 + 1.

I purchased three +2 kits for my Shield and I’m very pleased so far. First off, they are easy to assemble. Mags seats into gun without issue at full 10 rd capacity (I’ve tried another manufacturer’s extensions and I had to beat them into the gun). I had a chance to use them the other day and they ran flawlessly after a couple hundred rounds. Only once did the slide not lock after the last round, but that could have nothing to do with the magazine (again, the other well-known manufacturer failed in this dept). Next week I’ll run another couple hundred rounds through them before edc use. I don’t anticipate any issue. I like that they only add 1/4 of an inch to the overall length of the mag. They match well with the gun, can’t hardly notice they’re not oem. Perfect fit and function. I’m going to buy a couple more.
Chris P. (verified owner) –
Love the product. I did have an issue with the spring bending weird with one of the magguts m&p shield 1.0. I just bent it back and was more careful how I pushed the spring into the magazine and worked perfectly. I ran 100 rounds each through the 2 magazines I enhanced. And worked amazingly. I will buy more.
John M. (verified owner) –
I love the extra rounds. It wasn’t the easiest thing to install though. It took me 4 tries because the flat spring kept folding up but it finally went in and works great.

The newly designed spring got twisted inside the mag and now it doesn’t work right. I watched the video on how to properly install it but it still didn’t work out for me. I have the previous generation Magguts with the original spring and never had any issues with it. Disappointed and I didn’t bother calling your support because knew you’d just say it was my fault. Money down the drain.
Jack Heller (verified owner) –
After getting a good recommendation from a gun shop owner I bought 2 of the +2 MagGuts. I did not have any luck with a successful installation. After installing them, each would not allow me to load more than 5 rounds in the magazine. I re-installed each several time and gave up.
After talking with someone at a gun range, I may try the +1 MagGuts modification as the person had excellent luck adding an additional round while still using the original magazine spring.
Paul Showan (verified owner) –
I bought 3 spring kits. When I installed the first on, I could only load 5 rounds. I took the magazine apart and found the spring had “flipped” over which prevented it from collapsing properly. I had to reinsert the spring 4 or 5 times before it stayed in position and allowed full magazine to be loaded. Also, magazine will not seat in gun unless the chamber is open which prevents me from loading 10+1 in the gun which what the intention of purchasing. I’m also concerned with reliability and will have to test that at the range. Deciding if I am going to return the two that haven’t been installed yet. Very disappointed.
Carlton Allen (verified owner) –
I’ve been using magguts for a few months now they have been durable and functional so for. My only complaint is mags do not fall freely when mag release is pushed but that could be the nature of M&P shield 9mm not magguts.

Pros: Much more compact than other +2 base plates that use the stock spring, and is easy to remove for cleaning or maintenance.
Cons: The spring is a bit too wide and the edges of the top fold get stuck on the holes on the front of the mags unless it’s perfectly centered (it will not stay centered). I was able to fix this by grinding the edges of the fold to narrow it more. Getting one of these to install correctly was a pain (it would stop fully compressed after the 9th round is loaded), but after multiple attempts, things lined up and with the grinding work to the spring rounds feed fine.
It’s almost there. This would easily be a 5/5 if the spring width problem was fixed and the follower had a tab or similar to hold the top of the spring in place as it’s being inserted to keep it in the correct orientation.

I installed the Smith & Wesson Shield 9mm + 2 MagGuts in my 8 round magazine. Loaded 10 rounds in the magazine seated the magazine in the pistol which took considerable force to seat and soon found the slide would not function. I was unable to cycle the slide.

I ended up having to modify each one of them i got for my shield. When properly installed on my 8rd mags the 10th bullet fit so tight that it required more than reasonable force to get the mag in. And it pressed against the slide so hard that while racking a bullet in you could feel the resistance of the that last bullet rubbing against the slide till it cleared and could rack it in. I had to fill and take off two spring folds in order for that 10th round to easily load into the mag. After that it was flawless but it was frustrating to have to do that considering the price tag after buying 4

However the plastic follower sticks sometimes when loading the magazine. Overall it works in spite of my poor install.

I purchased two of these magazine spring and follower kits for my S&W Shield. The first one installed fine, but the second spring got bent badly trying to insert it into the magazine. I tried to straighten it with a pair of needle nose pliers. It was good enough to finally get it installed and seemed to work. However, since I may depend on this magazine to save my life, I contacted MagGut and told them my concerns. They immediately offered to send me a new spring with free shipping. This, in my opinion, was the epitome of good customer service. Because of this kind and professional gesture, I will buy from them again. Knowing they will stand behind their customers sets them way above others I have ordered from. I will be a customer for life. Outstanding company with excellent customer service. Highly recommended.
