Patton that is awesome. Hopefully the new barrel fixes your issue as well. I plan on hitting the range this weekend to put more ammo through it. Dackjammit glad yours is working properly and sounds like you got the kinks worked out.

Patton should be well worth the wait. Just got back from the range and put 100 rounds through it. Performed flawlessly :D

Just got my gun back from S&W. The paperwork said they replaced the barrel so will take it to the range this weekend to see if that was the fix.

Oh wow the same date, that is interesting. Something had to be off during manufacturing. Will also be interesting to see if S&W comes back with the same problem for both of our guns. Hopefully we get them back soon. Just stocked up on ammo during black Friday so itching to take it back to the...

Badtheba hopefully that fixes your problem. It took me a few field strips and cleaning to finally get a few magazines through without a malfunction. I have a Kahr CW45 and Springfield XD that worked right out of the box. I have never had an issue with them. I was going back and forth between...

Patton thanks for sharing. There definitely seems to be some sort of issue as we should not have to be tapping the slide or muzzle for it to operate properly. I sent my gun in last week and just received my RMA number today. I say don't take any chances and send it back to S&W to get looked at...

Teebiss thanks for the information. I just contacted S&W and told them about the issue and asked if they have heard of this before. I received the typical customer service answer of no, sounds like an anomaly and that I should send it in to get looked at. I just got my shipping label So will be...

Went to the range yesterday and put about 100 rounds through it and it performed flawlessly. It fired accurately and going through magazine after magazine showed me why this is such an awesome little gun. Just need to get over this slide issue. Still going to call S&W and see what they have to say.

I have to agree with you Rastoff that it is a pinching problem possibly during the ejection process since the slide goes further back than the normal slide lock and I can physically see the next round in the magazine which could not get loaded. Rwsmith you are right it needs to get checked by...

After field stripping and cleaning I was anxious to see how it would perform so hit the range earlier today. I still had the issue with the slide locking to the back. It seemed to do this toward the end of the magazine (8rd around the 7th and 7rd around the 6th) so I released the magazine and...

I just purchased the Shield Performance Center 9mm and this happened to me on the range today. I got through 2 clips and the slide locked up and I could not get it to move forward. Very disappointing and worrisome as I purchased this to be my carry gun. Got home and somehow got the slide to move...
