Default got a good deal on a shield 40 n is junk

I saw a shield 40 at my lgs. 429 new. They had coupons fir 50 dollar off any gun so I used it on the shield. Took it to the range every other rd on the extended magazine failed. Price I pay for going s.w. I always been iffy about sw now I know why. Selling it ASAP.

You'll make someone very happy. They'll have to send it to smith to get the magazine / barrel issue worked out though.

Thanks for the um... "informative" post.

Maybe you can tell us how it failed or what the actual problem is.
Was it a failure to feed?
Failure to eject?
Double feed?

What kind of ammo were you using?
Did you try it with more than one kind of ammo (both brand and fmj & jhp) ?
How were you holding it?
Did you limp wrist it?

Sell it and purchase something else.
Your handle says it all.

No real information here, just a bashing thread. We don't need a flame war here.
