I have a recently purchased .45 Shield. I haven't experienced your problem. That said, although I like the trigger, I like the grip texture, and I like the way they did the loaded chamber indicator...there's something about the pistol that just doesn't
feel right when I'm shooting it. Nothing has malfunctioned so far and there's nothing tangible I can put my finger on that seems wrong. The pistol simply doesn't inspire confidence for me. Maybe it just doesn't feel solid in my hand, I don't know. I'm probably going to sell or trade it soon. I've already stopped carrying it and gone back to my Glock 30S. The Shield was an impulse buy, anyway, and the impulse has passed.
So I'm with you on this. Matter of fact, you're way more patient than I'd have been. Stop playing the ship-back-and-forth-to-S&W game. It's past time to ditch this pistol and get something that works, something you are confident in and can
depend on.
