OK. Smith and Wesson called me yesterday to inform me that they've replicated my failure with several types of ammunition and could not pin point the exact reasoning as to why the gun is jamming so they replaced the slide and barrel and gun operated flawlessly. They even overnight shipped it for me.

I am being told that they are indeed re manufactured reloads. I asked my department firearms instructor and he stated due to liability they only supply us with "certified re manufactured reloads" and so you're aware there is no identifiers on the boxes. When the pallets arrive there is labeling...

Thank you for the response, this is the feedback i'm looking for!

If you would've read my post then you would know that the FIRST time I wen't out and shot it, I only fired a handful of rounds through it because it would jam nearly every time fired. I sent it back and it was supposedly repaired and after receiving the gun back and going out to shoot the SECOND...

Thanks for this info. I live in WA and am LE I'll definitely be checking this place out.

S&W factory should be contacting me today or on Monday regarding my shield. I'll keep you posted sir.

It'd be nice if everyone got off the poll issue... To be completely honest I don't really care how many people have had zero issues with their shields. I've had a Shield .40 and it had no issues at all I understand 99% of people have had no issues with their shields and that is irrelevant to why...

Thank you all for the feed back! Sorry about my poll error of not offering a zero problems option.. Wasn't thinking there. I had my .40 shield since they came out up until I traded it for this 9mm and I had absolutely zero problems of any kind and had about 1000 rounds through that one.

Hello all. I'm new to posting stuff on forums. I recently traded in my Shield .40 for a 9mm Shield due to my primary weapon at work being a Glock 17 which is 9mm and I want my back up weapon to match my primary's ammo. I'll try to keep the following list of events in order to avoid confusion to...
