That means, in my book, that there is a design flaw in the Shield 40. Didn't Glock 40s have the same problem at one time? Also, this last one was with 165 grain ammo, which is even more worrisome. I read an article by one of the experts that said no one should ever run 180 grain in a 40 and he gave technical reasons I can't remember, but it was physics according to him. Now if he is right, then I would feel much better with an all steel 40 shield, which they don't make for obvious reasons.
