Gen. George S. Patton (the son, officially listed as the IV. We referred to him as Jr, my bad) was the Commander of the 2nd Armored Division at Ft. Hood, Texas, 1977/1978. His father, Gen. George S. Patton, died in 1945.
I know. The one who died in 1945 was the original George S. Patton, Jr, but he woulda been the III, except his dad was originally named George William Patton. Changed his middle name to match Sr.'s before the famous general was born. That's why George Jr. named your boy the IV. Then your boy changed his name after Jr. died to drop the IV. Lots of legal name changing of the middle name in this family for some reason, hence the hullaballoo . . .

Just a little eccentric. He was a lot like his dad. Do your job, do it well, and you could do no wrong. Do your job poorly, and you'd face his wrath with a very long road to forgiveness.
Ok, I've digressed and distracted enough here. Op, good luck with your Shield and good shooting.
On my Shield, the metal on the Stop where it contacted the slide was very rough and it took a tremendous amount of force to drop the slide. It took only a small bit of polishing to make it work smooth.
