Just got a Facebook message from Shield Arms stating mags should arrive from manufacturer this week and ship immediately after. We shall see.

Short delay, the first batch shipped with the wrong finish. They said next batch exected next week.
Man,
You guys worry about ridiculous shit...
Ive been running aluminum extended catches in my guns for years now without any issues. I've run the same five training mags for the past three years and have over 80K rounds between those five mags.
I have yet to ruin a frame, ruin a magazine catch or a magazine.
Yes, polymer is softer than metal. We've been running pmags for how many years now with metal mag catches? Ive personally "broken" a shit ton of M2 pmags by over inserting them" and ruining the retention tabs. They still run.
What the hell power factor ammo are you running through a gun to ruin a frame via twisting or torquing of the mag release in the frame? That's absurd.
If you dont want to ruin your gun, fine, dont buy the mags but to trash a product before its even out with phantom bullshit "cry wolf" hysteria, is just lame. Lets give them a shot and see if they work. If they're garbage, then they're garbage and Shield Arms will fail.
Somehow it escaped my attention that these mags are to be made by Checkmate. Adding this bit to the announcement of initial batch with wrong finish and what have you, my short little fingers typed up a cancellation request all by themselves.
Doesn't read posts longer than two paragraphs.
Steve Fisher saying something about a cease and desist letter from Sig.
I just heard that, too.
Wonder what Sig’s patent says — I am assuming something like “managed to get more cartridges in a magazine than we expected to?”
Likes pretty much everything in every caliber.
Basically says “we have a single stack magazine that transitions to a double stack, which allows the chamber area, slide width, and the area around the trigger guard width to conform to single stack standards, but the double stack portion allows for double stack capacity.”
It’s also more complicated than that. At face value, it’s not the first single stack/double stack hybrid, but the patent also goes into greater depth.
