I made it to the range this weekend with my Shield, but it was closed for clean up/improvements.[emoji20]

Seeing some of the new posts of people having this issue led me to pull it out and give it a good look.
With the barrel & guide rod removed the slide moves freely on the frame. With the barrel installed (with out guide rod) I had the slide lock back a couple of times, it seems to only happen when holding the pistol on it's right side?????

I'm not sure what this tells me, other than my issue is the barrel & slide "jamming" and has nothing to do with
slide/frame clearance.
I will take it to the range this coming weekend and run some ammo through it and see how it works.
