I sent my Shield in a month and a half ago for my front sight off center. I finally called the other day to inquire and the person told me that the day it came in, S&W was on a two week shut down with a skeleton crew! HAHA.... my luck!
So regarding, why not drift it myself... I tried. Mine was not the rear but the front as I mentioned. But when I brought it to my FFL the owner of the shop bent two of his brass punches trying. He did to want to try a steel punch for fear of marring the slide.
My sample functioned flawlessly except for printing 1 or 2 inches left of POI. The guy on the phone confirmed it would have that left POI and said it was too bad they did not spend an extra few seconds making sure the front sight was centered.
The way I see it, this is one of the better designed guns and probably one of the highly mass produced gun these days. The price of that is some QC issues. Really looking forward to getting it back!
