Oil I ran into a S&W armoror at my local gun store when I brought my 9mm Shield in for repair, the trigger got stuck in the all the way back position. He fixed it in two seconds and notices I lightly greased the rails and gave me some light hearted **** about it. He told me any kind of oil...

Same exact problem as everyone else and it happened during the first time I shot it.

I had to get S&W send me a new spring for one of the magazines that came new with my 9mm Shield. I was totally shocked when I opened the box and all it had in it was the spring and not a new magazine. It did have instructions on how to put the spring in though.

My .45 does the same My .45 Shield does the exact same thing. In fact I was concerned it might not chamber properly before I shot it, but, it ran flawless my one and only time to the range with it (100 rounds). My 9mm Shield does not do that, although it also is very tight. Shields have...

Yesterday I went to the range for the second time with my Shield 9 and ran 50 rounds thru it and had a total different experience, from real good to real bad. Last time I shot well for the most part when I concentrated. This time I was all over, but, what worried me the most was I had 7 or 8...

Hi guys & gals, I'm a Glock person and only for a short time, so, I'm not a gun officionado, my other two guns being Glock 19 & 23. So I wanted something smaller and a retired cop that is a customer / friend showed me his shield 9 and suggested it for a carry gun and I took his advice and picked...
