Steven, S&W has been unable to fix this problem. I tried numerous 6 and 7 round magazines. All magazines drop out regardless of whether I fire the pistol one handed, two handed with left and/or right hands. S&W replaced the magazine catch, but the magazines keep dropping. M1A4ME, thanks for...

I have a .45 Shield that has been experiencing magazines dropping while shooting. I previously posted about this. I see there have been a few threads where people have experienced similar problems with various caliber M&P pistols. Magazines were fully seated and I did not push the magazine...

I’m glad you are sending the revolver back to S&W. The gun has a warranty, and you could void the warranty if you attempt any repairs. I agree with you that the gun should have come from the factory without any defect. You should make a thorough inspection of the revolver and list each and every...

Thanks for the link!

Thanks for replying. I couldn’t find the Apex with an internet search. Do you have a link?

I would appreciate suggestions for a sight adjustment tool for a .45 Shield. I saw some suggestions in older threads, but the tools are no longer available. Any help would be appreciated.

The S&W website has an aluminum frame M&P9 M2.0. Anyone have any experience or additional information on this? https://www.smith-wesson.com/sites/default/files/spec-sheets/13194-mp-specsheet-v2.pdf

Participation has slowed down quite a bit, and each time the site came back up there were fewer participants. Many of the members are very knowledgeable in the firearms arena, and I always enjoy when they share their knowledge. I hope the site gets resurrected.

Anyone know what's going on with Evan Marshall's Stopping Power website?

Sorry you’re having problems with your new pistol. I had some issues with a new .45 Shield. One of the problems was fully seated magazines were ejecting when I fired the pistol. The second time it happened, it took nearly one year to get a replacement magazine. Unfortunately, the defective...

I called S&W for an update. Customer Service advised that they will send me a new magazine, but they are presently back ordered. No further information available from Customer Service as to what was wrong. Just to follow up on some of the comments, the magazine I returned to S&W has the new...

S&W sent me a shipping label. I will post the outcome when I receive the repaired or replacement magazine.

Was trying to load a 6 round magazine with factory 230 grain .45 ACP FMJ, but the cartridges kept flying out the magazine. The magazine has around 150 rounds through it, is clean, and has never been damaged, but cartridges just won’t stay in place while loading. I called S&W Customer Service...
