Are you saying the gun is Out of Battery until you nudge the slide forward? FTF = Fail to Fire? F can equal Function, Feed, or Fire.

If the gun is Out of Battery, it is not supposed to fire. If that's what's wrong, focus on "OOB" and ignore "FTF." There have been a lot of OOB threads here about the Shield, but it's still relatively uncommon. If it only occurs when the mag is 100% full, that will help pinpoint the cause.
Yes, Fail to Fire with first round of a full magazine, prevented by bumping the slide forward after racking. When I pull the trigger there is very little resistance so the pin may not be released. I have not examined the round as they are ejected into a container.
