Great question! Hadn't thought of it that way since this is one of only a few pistols I own. Am new to shooting and have a Shield40 DXV mag-dropper. Fixed now with the dimples, and the gun is working great. Starting to be really smooth, but also likely also due to me getting better at...

Fabius, Thanks, man. Many, obviously including you, are WAAAY more experienced and knowledgeable then I and it helps me tons when people like you explain more. It just seemed to me that others (serial # DXP, DXT) had pistols that "worked," and I got one (DXV, DXW, DXX) that was incorrectly put...

Fabius, Same general report back from me. Range yesterday with my Shield40 using the modified magazines back from S&W and no issues. I, however, only tried the extended mag but put 100 rounds through. No drops. No FTEs/Stovepipes. I shoot at an indoor range that sells their own ammo, so...

Got mine back, and just like Fabius and doriandk the paperwork indicated new mags, not a new mag release. I also perceive much more definitive click and seating of the mag now, but obviously it is difficult to know for sure. Wish I knew what to look for with the one-piece mag release itself...

Exactly my concern. Let me know what you find out, if anything.

From participating and reading this thread, it seems that the DXV, DXW and DXX serial numbers are affected. Obviously not official, but that is what I've picked up on. The "earlier" serial numbers like DXT and DXP are operating fine. You bring up a great observation on the one-piece mag catch...

Great feedback. Anyone have any exposure or experience with the TigerLight? (combo of military pepper spray and LED flashlight) Curious. I like the potential, just wondering if it works as advertised. Also looking into the SureFire flashlights. Thanks for the tip.

I have a Shield 40. To answer your questions: 1) They are easy enough for me to clean. It's one of the reasons I went with S&W. I'm relatively new to handguns and I picked care/maintenance up fairly quickly. 2) Comfort in shooting is unreal. To me. I've shot 40s - Glocks and Springfields...

I know, right?!... Couldn't agree more. Am/was trained in martial arts for 5 years and believe my best "weapon" is between my ears. Have a shoulder separation/dislocation (yup, both) that is rocking my world, however, and an old ankle injury from younger years makes me less able to run as...

I also started another thread asking LEO and military about their views about an "us vs. them" attitude I perceive. Didn't expect all the responses. Just read them all - wow. Sorry if it got too heated, that wasn't the intention, but thanks to all the LEO and military who responded. Great...

I just completed my class for concealed carry and am moving forward with my application. Had a recent injury that really limits me physically and wanted to have an option for safety - thus my pursuit of a carry permit. NEVER occurred to me that a flashlight could be an effective defense tool...

Sure hope you're right. After doing my research, I came to to the conclusion that Glocks and S&Ws would be my weapons-of-choice. Similar enough for learning how to clean/maintain and both supposedly reliable. This has caused a serious crisis-of-confidence for me on S&W. First M&P, and this...

Mine sent in 7/20, to help others with the queue. Called S&W earlier today and they said that it was fixed, just waiting for test firing (the range was closed this week). Told to call next Friday if it hadn't shown up yet. I tried to prompt a response by saying, "Hey, I know you guys are...

As a result of a recent shoulder injury that has severly impacted my physical abilities I recently purchased an M&P Shield40, along with a Glock19, as part of my overall home and personal defense plan. My M&P is experiencing the mag-drop issue as some others are, so is in with S&W for review...

DXV6nnn as well on mine. Just checked. Mine is back with S&W now.
