Shield recall

JFR said:
I just hung up with S&W Cust service. They said that there is not an actual recall out but there was a safety alert on a trigger pin. He did not have any other information at the time but did hear about the rumor/alert.

No word if the safety alert will turn into a recall.

Hope this helps.

That mirrors my recent conversation with them as well. He said the website will update with any actionable information. I'm waiting for a shipping label for my Shield (not related to the trigger or this possible recall) and I hope I can slide in under any newly repair volume.
 
I just spoke with a very large LGS that buys direct from Smith(not through a distributor). These guys have Shields all the time and have had many shipments of mags over the last few months.

The only thing they have heard about a recall is from customers calling them to confirm internet rumors.

Thanks for calling and getting that info. Glad to know mine is A-OK. :)
 
I just got off the phone and got the same information about the trigger pin, it should be on their web site this afternoon. I have almost given up on buying firearms this would be the 3rd pistol I would have to send back in less than a year. 2 Rugers and maybe an S&W. I am thinking I should buy toy trains.

So there is a recall? I have put almost 1000 rounds through mine... its my EDC. I find it hard to believe something is wrong with all the shields.
 
Don't care what they say. Neither one of mine are going back for something like that. If it aint broke, dont fix it.

So they stop selling the 9mm barrel to the public. Now all of a sudden they have a recall on ALL the Shields. Be my luck they have figured out a way to stop the .40 from firing the 9mm cartridge and visa versa.

If the lower half of you trigger is springing forward, as it should, your Shield should not be affected by this "recall."

I, personally, am waiting for Apex Tactical's Shield trigger to be released.

No there is no recall yet just a safety warning, I had to send an LC380 and a ruger 1911 back so far this year. Was not really happy with Ruger at all. But no recall yet on the shield

I thought they already released it? And If this turns out to be a recall I will be doing the same and going to the Apex

How do you know that guy who started that thread isn't an idiot? I also noticed the linkback to this thread, so we are going around in circles over a rumor started by someone who has not provided a source. Even then, his source could also be flawed.

The guy is legitimate, I buy at his shop. He said there was an email in from S&W this morning that said to stop all sales of existing stock until further notice. They did not give further detail in the email, just said that more information was to follow.

It took 26 posts in to start the conspiracy theories. What's taking us so long!:D
 
I've had a Shield on Lay-away @ Cabela's. They just called me and told me to come and pick up my deposit as the Shields have been recalled, with no other info available.
 
Redneck, if you're too lazy to call a big box store to find out for yourself, then I guess you're better off continuing to rip on 1st time posters such as myself. Could it be that we 1st timers are new to S&W, and as a consequence, have little to add to the forum that's not yet already been covered? Nice way to greet new folks to the forum.
 
I have a good friend that is the general manager of a BPS. I called asked if he has heard anything about it, he confirmed that they did receive a stop selling notice today and will looking into the details for me.

I think this one has some weight to it, now it's just a matter of the details and depth of the impact.

FWIW I think the impact will be minimal.

Add**Also the 1st time posters have good credit with me, keep it up and thanks for sharing! We all had a 1st post at one time, I'm glad theirs added value!
