My .45 Shield broke today. I cleaned it after shooting today and it wouldn't go back together. I found the problem. There is a small piece of the slide right below the ejection port breaking off and the same thing is about to happen in the same spot on the other side. I carry this gun everyday and shoot it a lot. I've probably put 15,000 rounds through it in the 3 years that I've owned it. I think small guns in .45 just can't stand up to the abuse. I guess my options are get a smaller caliber, get a bigger gun or get a new slide every few years. Anyone have any other options?
