It intergrates seamlessly with the grip. The photo is of my carry pistol with the Samson magwell and a 8 round magazine with magguts plus 2 yielding a ten +1 round Shield. You can also use the flush 8 round magazine with +1 magguts for a total 9+1 combo that is sleek looking.
======================
Glock 48 format
For the extended barrel version of the Shield, you can go with the Shield Arms extended slide and barrel combo. This photo if not mine, but an example of how it looks.
