Love it!
Dang...ya'll all fussing with each other over nothing. I can tell you this; Glock 43 mags are easy-peasy to load by hand. I have actually owned 2 Shields, both 9mm ( I really tried to like the gun but just didn't)...and don't remember the mags being a PITA hard to load. Maybe they changed the mags or something since I ditched the things in favor the G43.
Shield was a PITA to rack slide when new...for me
Wife had a little trouble with that, but I assumed that would break in more over time. Spent a few minutes working with her on proper technique, which helped a bit.
When you gonna shoot your sbr and suppressor? We need to go out and test who's is quieter.
No doubt! I just got it put together, but gonna tear it down and send the new handguard off for Cerakote. I'm actually seriously considering shortening the barrel from a 10.5" to a 7.5".... with the suppressor on, it doesn't really look like much of a damn SBR. 
What suppressors are you two running?
I have an 8.5in .300blk that I'm going to SBR, and currently looking at the SilencerCo Omega 9K because it's only 4.7" long. Which should put total length around 12.5"-13" depending on if the dimension given is total length, or length added.
Oh, and tr, what handguard did you end up going with?

Mine is the Omega with the flat end cap. Not the new 9k
I have a YHM Ti for my .300AAC. It's pretty long, I guess. I did a ton of research and eventually got so bleary-eyed, I finally just picked one. lol Couldn't tell the difference, really.
As for my rail, I ended up using a 12" from FBT. I can't recommend them, as the barrel nut they come with doesn't fit ANY wrench we've been able to find. I can just get 2 lugs wedged in, so I think I'll be able to get to the required 35 lb or so of torque when I get it into the vice once it's Cerakoted.
