That seems to be the case when manufacturers release new firearms. As I mentioned with S&W, their Sheild Plus (when first out), M&P 10mm, and even the new CSX I bought, all are lacking additional mags yet on the market. When I bought the SA Hellcat, finding the 13 rounders were near impossible. It seems these companies are great at getting the initial firearms out the door (well SA's HP and in my case their compact 10mm are hard to come by), but getting additional mags seems to take months after announced release of the firearm.

I never had any issues getting extra magazines from Springfield for my handguns.

I'm one of those that tends to buy new firearms on the market as soon as they come out. Such was true with the Hellcat, which showed up at my LGS just after it was announced (they only had several of the non-OSP models). I mentioned after a month or so, on this forum, that I was having difficulty finding any additional 13 round magazines (11 rounders were out there though, and at which I bought several). I believe it was forum member el-lobo that directed me to a site that had several on sale, at which time I bought a few. All the sites I previously visited had them either out of stock or backed ordered.

So what S&W is saying is they don’t care about the consumer who purchases their products “basically”
Go ahead and buy our guns but extra magazines your 💩 out of luck.

S&W like a few other companies anymore only care about you buying there products and don’t give a hoot on customer service, Springfield and Glock has always treated me great when I need any assistance, kudos the these manufacturers.

I’ve had nothing but good luck with Springfield CS. The only other company I had to deal with was Savage and they were horrible.

I only had to call S&W once, and that was for my M&P15-22 recalled bolt issue (the reason Project Appleseed banned its use). The tech spent several minutes on the phone, explaining the issue, offering a free tool to check it myself (and how to use it if selected), or to spend it back on their dime for them to check it. I selected the free tool, and he mentioned if I had any questions or concerns on the tool's use after receiving it, he urged me not to hesitate on calling back. This was before pandemic time and luckily my check determined my bolt to be free of defect.
I'll also add Ruger as pleasant to deal with, after speaking with the tech on my 2 recalled Mark IV pistols.
To Date, (other than calling Glock on my G19 mentioned in a previous thread), I have neither had to call Springfield's CS nor any other Gun Manufacturer due to issues.
 
Ordered a Holster and 2 of the XDM .45 13 round mags (NOT the backstrap specific ones). Looks like they should work for this model as it's listed under the XDM section as well as the XD section on the one time offer, and I did some research on them through other sites like gunmagwarehouse, who's site had it listed as compatible also. Eventually i'll get one of the backstrap specific 13 rounders once I figure out exactly how I want to configure the handgun. Between the 3 backstrap options they provide you with, as well as the removable flared magwell... it leaves a good amount of customization to make it fit your hand/grip. I'm very impressed with that. I don't think ive seen that much modularity on a compact/ccw model before. Big kudos to SA on this one, they really knocked it out of the park.
 
Finally got around to removing the magwell, adding backstrap #3, and got the 13 round extended mag w/ the matching #3 base.

It's essentially a 3.8" compact .45 ACP that holds 13+1 with a full size grip. And I LOVE IT hahah. a little on the heavy side but the Reckoning holster works well with a sturdy Hanks belt (Gunner Stitched 1.5"). I'd upload a pic but my phone has decided it's on it's way out and the camera app just shuts itself down everytime i start it lol.
