Was just told $429 over the phone by a rep at D&L for the Shield 9, and he said he had 50 in stock!! I called my LGS about doing the transfer, and he is going to be getting 2 on Wednesday for $459, so I'll just buy local. They both come to about the same price when you calculate shipping and...

Just got done cleaning my M&P15 with Ballistol. I clean all my firearms with this, and it works great for me.

Just got mine a couple days ago as well!! That is going to be fun to shoot. Plus I ordered some extra mags from S&W's website just in case. Merry Christmas, everyone!!

Thanks for this info...I just ordered 2 of these mags for my new 15-22 I picked up last night and a M&P22 12-rounder. I'm kicking myself though for buying 4 PMags (FDE) last night from my LGS at $30/per when I saw S&W has black ones for $20....oh well.

No worries...I did this as well when I first got mine. Don't baby it and shoot the snot out of it. As you get used to the pistol and it breaks in, you will find that it is sweet...at least that's been my experience. The more I shot it the better it felt and the better I shot with it. Have fun...

9mm with 525 rounds since 11/16/2012 300 WWB - Had 3 fail to fires with this ammo. 2 of these 3 were likely user error. Also, I have decided not to use this ammo anymore. 100 Federal Champion - flawless 100 MagTech - Had 1 FTE, but this was an odd situation. I released the mag with a round...

I finally got to shoot mine today....man, it was fun. I think I got the MBUS sights tuned in fairly decent, but I think I still need to tune in the red dot some more. However, the primary objective of shooting it and having fun was accomplished! Everyone enjoy theirs as well!

I looked at that, but I think I'm going to check out Range 37. I still haven't shot this thing! But I've been dressing her up a bit :) I've added a Vortex Strikefire red/green dot with the 3x Primary Arms magnifier on a flip-to-side mount.

That stinks for your friend. Mine is not experiencing that severe of a problem. Besides the user errors, its only did it once out of 425 rounds. I'm just curious because I'm really starting to get interested in the internal functioning of pistols as well.

@robkarrob - Thanks a bunch for that video!! That is something I can do. I watched a video where a guy took apart his slide and it was way beyond anything I am going to try. It's nice to know I don't have to do all that mess just to clean out the striker channel if I want to. Also, thanks for...

Which ammo is she using when it happens?

I've heard others say the same thing. I am going to stay away from WWB and see what happens. Thanks

I've just been doing the regular cleaning since I've owned it. I'll check around to see how to clean the firing pin channel. I think I watched a YouTube video showing a guy tearing apart the slide....it was beyond my comfort level. But I'm not sure if that would be necessary to do what you've...

I am collecting my brass in case I want to reload, and when I checked they all looked centered. The location of this one though seemed pretty off. But, like you said, it did only happen once. Since this is a new gun, I'm pretty (perhaps overly) picky :) Thanks

Hey guys and gals, I previously started a thread (http://smith-wessonforum.com/smith-wesson-m-p-pistols/277859-new-shield-9-problem-maybe.html) where my first time to the range with my Shield 9 had 2 fail to fires using WWB, but I think this was due to user error (babying it). The next trip to...
