Smith & Wesson Factory M&P Shield X 13-Round Magazine - 9mm, Stainless Steel, Black Finish with Flush-Fit Baseplate - 14475
Product Description
If you are setting up your Smith & Wesson M&P Shield X for everyday carry, maximizing concealment is your number one priority. Running a longer, extended magazine can cause the grip of the pistol to print through your shirt, giving away your carry position when you bend over or reach up. The **Smith & Wesson® M&P Shield X 13-Round Factory Magazine (14475)** is the perfect fix. It gives you a substantial 13-round payload of 9mm ammunition while utilizing a compact baseplate that sits flush with the bottom of the frame, keeping your pistol as low-profile and discreet as possible.
This is a genuine factory-original (OEM) replacement magazine built right here in the United States by Smith & Wesson. The magazine tube is stamped from high-grade tempered stainless steel, which means it will easily withstand hard training use and won't warp or spread at the feed lips if left loaded for months at a time. The exterior is coated in a sleek, anti-friction matte black finish that shields the steel against body sweat and corrosive moisture while ensuring a smooth, drop-free release during quick reloads. Internally, a high-visibility, no-tilt polymer follower is driven by a heavy-duty steel wire coil spring to guide cartridges up flawlessly without nose-diving.
Because this magazine fits flush into the updated frame geometry of the Shield X, it keeps the pistol incredibly short and nimble. It is an essential component for your primary inside-the-waistband (IWB) carry setup, allowing you to maximize your defensive firepower without sacrificing comfort or printing your location.
*Armorer Bench Notes & Real-World Fitment Warning: This 13-round factory magazine arrives completed and ready to load inside standard retail packaging. CRITICAL SHIELD X EXCLUSIVE COMPATIBILITY: This magazine is built specifically to fit the Smith & Wesson M&P Shield X platform only. Because the Shield X uses a newly redesigned, ultra-thin 0.9-inch frame tracking geometry, this magazine will not fit older generations like the standard M&P Shield, Shield M2.0, Shield Plus, or Equalizer pistols. Previous-generation magazines will also not latch inside the Shield X magwell. Initial Spring Tension: Stamping 13 rounds into a micro-staggered, flush-fitting magazine requires a very stiff factory spring. Getting those last few rounds seated by hand can be tough out of the box; using a speed loader tool saves your thumbs on the workbench. We highly recommend leaving the magazine fully loaded on your bench for 24 to 48 hours before hitting the firing line to let the spring take a set. Maintenance Advice: To clean out carbon fouling after high-volume practice, depress the floorplate locking tab and slide the bottom plate off. Keep the internal walls dry—never spray oils or liquid lubricants inside the magazine tube, as wet films trap loose powder debris and dust, slowing down your follower speed downrange.*
