S&W Shield recall?

[Kyarno]

Just saw a FB post from a dealer saying the Shields are being recalled and no further sales -- anyone hear anything else on this?

quick google search revealed nothing

 

[WhiteTiger]

Didn't see anything on Smith and Wesson's site.

Sounds like a "gun shop story" to me.

I've seen chatter regarding a mag drop problem with the .40 Shields on certain sites. I guess the mags just drop out without the user pushing on the mag release button. I didn't see anything about a recall from Smith regarding it or if any 9's were experiencing the issue. Smith & Wesson has been made aware of the problem by users but that's about all I know

That was an earlier problem. I don't see that coming up any more. S&W will take care of any defective mags that you might have.

It's heard it can cause a flat tire while traveling at high speeds.

thanks for the heads up, hope it's nothing

Does it matter anyways? S&W is like making like 5 at a time or something, it was pretty much impossible to get the 9mm ones, anywhere.

I have heard S&W having major QC control issues, and their product sucks. /sarcasm

I guess Ruger isn't the only one with issues after all.

2 FTE's in the first 75 rounds of my new Shield so far, Remington UMC, I'm nervous.

Over on the S&W Forum there is a post that says that the poster called S&W customer service and was told that there might be problem in the trigger pin on some of the recently made guns but not on the older ones. I assume they mean the pin that holds the hinged lower trigger piece onto the trigger. The CS person said that it's not a recall as yet.

More to follow, I'm sure.

maybe break it in with Brass

 

[JCV]

maybe break it in with Brass

UMC is brass............

 

[rocket500]

Maybe break it in with steel then?

 

[PaulR]

Maybe I should have cleaned it first.

 

[mikelawtown]

It must be the ammo, want me to try it in mine?.......sarcasm

 

[Catmouflage]

YO



We all know Glocks are cool but I want to know about a possible recall on the S&W Shield. Please update me on that.

UMC 9mm is also the shittiest 9mm around, save for maybe ultramax. I would not use it to establish any kind of performance baseline.
