I also received a call from my local gun store this morning telling me that the Shield 9mm that I had on layaway has to be shipped back to Smith and Wesson for a recall. He asked me if I still wanted it and I told him that i did, as I have been looking for one for a while and got a good deal on it ($399). He said that he didn't have any details and didn't know how long it would take. I am glad to hear that others have received this news in the last few days, as it sounded fishy to me. I will post back when the gun comes back in.
