I'm sure that I have the slide fit problem. I have since polished the problem areas. It is much better now but still has some slight friction, I'm hoping the slide spring will now have the power to return the slide to full battery. Once again thank you.

Slip 2000 comes as either an oil or a lightweight grease. I use the grease version because it comes in a syringe that makes placement fairly easy. The grease version is synthetic. (Here is the website:
https://www.slip2000.com/slip2000_ewg.php). The recoil spring assembly on the Shield is quite stout, and a good lube will help it return the slide to battery more efficiently. Given the rate at which it's used for the light lubing called for by S&W, a syringe of Slip 2000 should last you for a very long time. Unless, of course, you have a whole bunch of S&Ws.
