Sorry to the OP for the frustration of a new gun not working right but S&W will take care of it. Once you're fixed up you will be very happy with it.

yeah, I agree. there's a TON of shield's sold, so I do think the failure's are small in comparison to # sold. However I've seen it twice in the last week and recognize that things DO happen and the shield is having a few problems. I got my shield last week and it binds up taking it off the frame (tolerance stacking). My buddy got a shield JUST tonight in from his FFL and his slide sticks back just by hand racking it.... so it's not some "omg, it's UNHEARD OF!!! type of thing
