S&W is probably just waiting for the close of the BATFE investigation.

Do you want a holster made by an American or a holster made by an American-owned company because there is a difference.

Magazines. Two new magazines. Jeez.

My 645 has the same off center hole in the frame where the guide rod sits. I ended up chamfering the opening a bit to act as a funnel for the rod.

Looks like it got the tarted up Tijuana Buick treatment. Three portholes? Really? Red and green plastic sights? Has the G43 eaten into the Shields market share this badly?

Wow, first post in 5 years and it's a duesy. I can't really help you but I saw a picture on another forum where a guy did the same thing to his Glock, if that makes you feel better. I don't remember how he got it apart but he eventually did. Good luck.

The PRO in ProMag is short for PROblem, not PROfessional.

Not a touchy subject at all, just the plain, unvarnished truth.

I didn't spend $90 on a gunbelt just to go and clip a holster to my pants.

So is it time to beg Storm Lake for Shield .40 to 9mm conversion barrels? I'd love one myself as 9mm is dirt cheap right now and I'm stacking it deep.

Interesting analogy for those of us who remember the Ford Explorer/ Firestone tire debacle of 15 years ago.

I've got it! Brooke SHIELDs: "Nothing comes between me and my Shield but my Calvin's."

ssguiderods.com claims to be able to make a better guide rod using springs from your old one. It's not a spare, but it is an option.

The top-most round in the magazine should show a slight scratch from the bottom of the slide as it slid over the unfed round. If the cases are brass the stainless (thus harder) slide should leave a distinct mark compared to the brass on brass contact made from loading the magazine. I'm not sure...
