M&P Shield Hyve Technologies | Mag extension, Mag release extension, backing plate, Monarch trigger

What's going on guy's! So in today's video i'm going to be doing something alittle bit different than normal. Today I am going to be installing some upgraded parts from Hyve technologies on my M&P shield. If you guy's enjoy this video let me know down in the comments and i'll try and make more content like this.

[@Carnerd101]

Saw the video of the pro doing it on his pro work bench. Watched your video doing it on a coffee table. Learned from both. Thanks!

[@OCGunVibes]

I had been hesitant to do all these upgrades on my shield, but after seeing your video and how detail you made it, I’m definitely doing it now. You gain a subscriber with this one, man. Great video!

[@morgan123poirier]

That’s awesome thank you!

Excellent video, your voice is easier to listen too. And your more direct and easy to follow. Thanks for the helpful video.

[@davidleyva5039]

Great detailed video. I’ve had my m&p shield for about 2 years now and I think it’s time to do upgrades on it

[@leeoakley9508]

Pretty chill vibe to this video. I enjoyed it.

[@hiredgun7996]

Hey Morgan, thanks for taking the time to create this video. Super informative.

[@natethegreatog]

Bought one a week ago. Already ordered the trigger and some mag extensions to put on! Going to color fill grey to match the trigger too!

[@chinov9445]

Nice I got my Glock all Red out just picked up the Shield 🛡 Plus optics ready for summer conceal carry bad ass little guy I’m feeling this Blue 💯🎯🔥

[@infini1970]

I'm torn between this and the apex. Your vid makes it a bit easier to think I could do the install without lots of issues but the apex kit has a lot of attractive things as well.

Thats the color im goin with when I pickup my HC in a couple days.... 😁

Good tutorial!! Planning on modding my shield like this pretty soon! 👍

One of the better videos I seen. Made my life easier😅

[@lobbyrobby]

Awesome. Looks like I'm spending some money. I love the color blue

[@Jcauto-t4r]

Cool vid thanks, the only thing I would not do to this gun is the mag extensions, magguts sells some great spring system that will add 2 extra rounds to the factory mags and no need to change anything hence better to conceal. Thanks

[@anthonyosuna8574]

There is mags that actually are 10rd capacity for $25 the price you would pay for just the extension. Also come in black and look really nice just ordered two.

[@davidbarnes4742]

Great video bro 👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿I definitely dig the sound track 🎼🎧🎧

[@f2f.photography]

Nicely done here.

[@robr6082]

What did that trigger do to the travel, reset and pull...was this more for asthetic appeal, looks like all same hardware but the actual trigger.

[@morgan123poirier]

The pull is the same weight, that doesn’t change. The main difference is the “take up”. The trigger gets rid of most, if not all, of the slop in the beginning of the trigger pull.

[@echolover3121]

Very good content 10/10 helped me with my shield questions 👍

[@maxzarmar8908]

The use of a small light to shine into the pistol grip would have made the video a lot easier for users to see

Are these mods California compliant!?? Can you carry your CCW weapon with these upgrades.!??

[@RH-5482]

Very clear and informative presentation.

[@pewbangpew8109]

Got my +2 mag extension and mag release today and pretty bummed out the mag release was so extended that my holster hits the button. Had to take it off smh

[@fopeezy3097]

I just bought an NDZ mag extension. I'm worried that it doesn't have that backplate stop that covers up the gap between the plastic flush plate and the metal part of the mag. I saw in another review. I haven't received it yet, so I don't know how bad it will be.

[@morgan123poirier]

Did you buy just the finger extension or did you buy the +2 extension?

[@fopeezy3097]

@@morgan123poirier I got the +2 extension for the 7 round mag. I'm hoping that the issue is trying to use it with the 8 round mag, and that it fits the 7 round mag properly. This would be fine, as I planned on leaving the 8 round mag alone.

Ya, you should have no problem if you plan on using it with the 7 round mag, it should sit flush like you want.

[@fopeezy3097]

@@morgan123poirier I hope so. Thanks for replying! I'll report back when it comes in.

[@CouGHeePiLot]

On the plus 1 mag extension do you use the mag spring locking plate?

[@Brooklyn_Powers]

Great video: Very educational! Thank you!

[@unlimitedcarpetcleaningmar2296]

Nice looking gun

[@kgraves69]

2:17 , yep, just like that 🤣 I laughed way too hard at that

[@hhhhhhh803]

Any issues with FTF? Being that the Mag extension doesn’t come with a longer spring makes me think that the last two rounds may have issues feeding due to less tension on the spring.

[@morgan123poirier]

I have not had any issues yet, just went thru about 150 rounds and had 0 malfunctions.

[@michaelgarza3043]

Excellent video

[@abgs]

Great and detailed video

[@michaelhaskell7421]

great video. Thank you!

[@SmallOne91]

How’s it going Morgan, I was wondering if you can send me the exact list of your parts,I want my pistol similar except I want mine in red. Awesome video by the way

[@davek88]

Great video! 👍👍👍

[@GBProzPeX]

Imma go with all red, thanks man

[@morgan123poirier]

I thought about doing red, it looks killer!

[@GBProzPeX]

Morgan Poirier actually might go purple, red is too common lol

[@notmyrealname3462]

That might be good; do they have it in plain black? I was thinking of painting it. Probably put some grip tape on the front of the mag anyway.

[@rtrevg4182]

I just did my mags and back plate in Red (back plate has the Punisher engraved), then I color filled the engraving on the slide in matching Red. The gun looks Great. My next upgrade will be the mag release in Red and the trigger in Red with Black. I will post photos when fully complete.

[@urbanlovesrural]

DudeMan , that is gorgeous, Blu in Austin 🌺

[@BuffetBandolier]

Do you need the extended mag release for the extended mag or is it ok to keep it stock?

[@morgan123poirier]

You can keep the mag release stock.

[@johnr1897]

I only see one blue color on their website and it looks different like light blue where did you find that dark blue?

[@shuumai]

How easy is it to seat the 10-round mag fully loaded with the slide closed? And how do you get it apart considering that spring extended so far into the base plate??

[@Sumrando33]

I’ve owned mine for about a year now been hesitant on doing this, just out of curiosity is there any other companies out there they offer upgrades like this? I haven’t had much luck finding anything else

[@Ayyy_Jesse]

So I installed this awhile back but now I’m having feeding issues. Anyone else is having the same with this hyve product?

[@mjmtzz_303]

What do you mean can you explain

[@eiland369]

Looks great.

[@dylanjahn2952]

[@zackstrife4771]

Very nice video thank you watched all the way till the end just find some better lighting and you'll be golden haha

[@seamtesh5633]

Wouldn’t running the plus 2 extension cause jams since you are running the same spring ?

[@morgan123poirier]

I personally haven’t had any issues with it and I haven’t been able to find much about anyone complaining about jams.

[@onesecuritysquad5678]

Love it brother great job!

[@tonemargarejo7616]

Best laser light combo ?

[@codycooper9293]

Do the hyve shield accessories work on the shield 2.0?

[@bradley1149]

Yes

[@matta3712]

How would you recommend filing the trigger bar without caliper measuring? I don’t have a caliper

[@morgan123poirier]

The only option I see without measuring would be filing it down little by little and keep test fitting it till it works.

[@jerrypino5608]

Just use a tape measure

[@jerrypino5608]

Preferably one that shows 32s or 64ths

[@Commander_Strider]

Have you had any problems with feeding, I'm not sure if you would need a new spring after that or not.

[@jojolandreneau2871]

Good job dude!!!!

[@markharmon6942]

Well done

[@reau2325]

I want to buy my setup but I’m worried about shipping and what not because of the pandemic has anyone ordered recently

[@Brandongarcia-cm9kz]

Got mines off eBay it’s all sold out on their website ammo is even worse

[@reau2325]

Brandon garcia I ordered on Saturday but I accidentally ordered my backplate for the g42 so I called them Monday and they switched it for me they said it should be shipping out tomorrow

[@BeeBeeRacing]

Is the color of the mag extension and the mag release the same blue? The mag extension I got from Hyve is different than the mag extension.

[@nebcutum1035]

Are the shield and compact 9 have the same trigger ?

[@chriss2254]

Can the magazine release be swapped the other way for left handed people?

[@MichaelB-zo1cb]

Is that the regular blue? I have one coming on monday and im hoping it's not the light blue I've seen in some pictures.

[@Rodln69]

Great vid man 👍🏼

[@joecrack456]

Would I have to shave anything if I don't have the manual safety?

[@Luui2x]

That’s gloss blue right ?

[@jchuck8601]

Will any of these or similar products fit the FMK 9C1 G2. ??? Please just got this gun 3 days ago and I want to see if their any upgrades available ! Great video ! I just subscribe

[@TruckerAK]

I put the trigger on mine and I went to the range and everytime I shoot one round the trigger gets stuck for some reason

[@FordGuy41]

You might have the Shield 2.0. I heard you had to file down the trigger well a little bit so it can reset

[@PlasticDreamz]

Is the trigger upgrade worth it? I don’t mind the stock trigger

[@morgan123poirier]

For the price of the trigger, it’s definitely worth it. I have 2 shields and one of them still has the stock trigger and when you compare them, it is a night and day difference.

[@PlasticDreamz]

Morgan Poirier awesome thank you for the response !

[@SirGolfalot-]

[@baileyrodgers8377]

Awesome video!

[@notmyrealname3462]

does the mag drop freely? looked like you were pulling it out.

[@morgan123poirier]

It does drop out freely, yes.

[@FordGuy41]

Can you just use the +2 on both mags? That way you get a 9+1 and a 10+1?

[@a_storm_inside7026]

You can cut a link off the spring of the 7 rnd mag to make it an 8 rnd and it cycles completely until the slide locks back. I just think the extensions are ugly as sin

[@RVArider]

Good video! Now burn that weird fake Supreme tee ❤️

[@carolannesparkman6938]

Cool! 😎

[@GrimTactics]

I did exactly what you did for the slide cover plate and it snapped in fine. However, I noticed it has a distinct wobble and turns off center after shooting. However, now I can’t remove the damn thing. Any ideas?

[@nomad155]

Loving that shirt!

[@Brandongarcia-cm9kz]

Hey great video, I recently ordered the redline to add to my daily carry. I’m worried the extended mag release might be activated by my holster, have you had any issues with accidental mag drops?

[@morgan123poirier]

I haven’t had any issues with mine. It doesn’t extend out to far, just enough.

[@pewbangpew8109]

Got mine today and my holster hits the extended mag release every time.

[@Joey-Vega]

I was worried about the same. I carry appendix and do not want the magazine release to be depressed at all. Wish they just had a regular option I would buy that one.

[@szabib2144]

They i think im gonna pass on the extended magazine release, will just change it out every couple years cause it is a plastic magazine release engaging on a metal magazine.

[@lameboy95]

Any idea if these parts will fit on a Full Size M&P 1.0?

As of right now it’s just a stock spring. I may look into upgrading it in the future. I’m glad you liked the video!!

Morgan Poirier Sweet, any recoil spring problems since you’ve had the gun ? ... no problem, would like to see more gun vids from you !

[@matta3712]

Don’t worry about the recoil spring bro. I’ve had multiple shields, really only 1911 people have to worry about recoil springs. You should be just fine with stock. That’s what I’ve been running for years.

It does not change the weight of the trigger, it gets rid of the amount of take up the trigger has and gives it a much smoother feel compared to the “grainy” feel of the stock trigger.

What does the msg extension do? Just make it longer to make it easier to release msg?

[@morgan123poirier]

The mag extensions add capacity. For example Hyve sells a +1 and a +2 mag extension. So it’s turns your stock 7 round mag into an 8 round mag, and your stock 8 round mag into a 10 round mag. Hope this helps!
