Smith and Wesson Shield .45 issue

[kebotransw]

Guys check your Shields. Went to the range yesterday shot mine. Got home and started to clean the gun. When i began to drop the sear block it fell out. I went ahead and removed everything and found that they never put the pin in the gun only the spring.

Call Smith and Wesson. As long as you are the original owner- they care!

Thank you for sharing. Will wait a while on trying this one out. Smith could care less if you are the original owner, they will send you a box to return to them for repair at no charge. Expect about two weeks total time.

Wow. I handled one yesterday at GA Gun, felt good, just a little bigger than my Shield 9mm, grip is rougher, would like to shoot one.

Yep, rule#1 = never buy the first six months production

This is sound advise. I've been burned twice buying handguns hot off the press (a Ruger LC9s Pro that would drop mags on the last shot, and a Glock 42 that was plagued by issues).

I've got my eye on a Shield .45, looks like I'll be waiting a few months until they work the kinks out.

Never had a single malfunction with mine....
