Does anyone know if the Shield 45ACP has the same spring issues as the Shield 9mm? By spring issues, I am referring to the spring kinking when loaded. I have had issues with my 9mm 7 round mag, but have not noticed any issues with the 8 round mag.

Shon, this is my personal defense carry gun, and I have had no spring related issues at all. You might want to see what Smith and Wesson has to say directly about it. Their number if you're interested is  (800) 331-0852.
