Don't know about the firing pins but the trigger pull is the same. Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk

The LCP's trigger is much better than the BG's, especially the newest generation of LCP. If S&W would do something for that awful trigger they would have a winner.

I have bought and owned more firearms over the past 30yrs than I can even begin to remember and I have NEVER once seen any manufacturer let a handgun get past quality control without being completed like this. Don't get me wrong I love S&W handguns have owed many over the years and currently own...

Agreed. To me that speaks volumes about S&W's current quality control. No wonder buyers are having so many problems lately with their guns.

Not nearly as much as I paid them for it two days prior due it being a used gun. But in my opinion the loss of $$ was worth it vs having to send it in multiple times. I will not be buying anymore Smith Shields or M&P's for that matter until they get all the bugs worked out of them. I know there...

I bought a new .40 Shield that did the exact same thing twice within 100 rds of 165g PMC fmj. I bought it on Monday and traded it back in on the following Wednesday for a Glock 36. No problems so far out of the Glock in 300 rds of ammo. Personally I'm not putting up with a problematic gun. Too...

I really don't know if it would ever fall out. I guess it is possible if one continued to shoot it with it loose and with mag loads. I used the lock tight on mine and it held it solid up until I sold it.

I had one that did the same thing. I put a drop of red lock title on each side of the shield and let it soak in good. Wiped off the excess and let dry for about a week before I shot it anymore. It never moved again.

Sounds like you may have a side plate screw that's backed out. The one closest to barrel is the one that holds the crane in the frame. I'd start there and see if it needs tightening.

Yes they're out there. My lgs got one in last week and had already sold it by the time I got to see it. The owner was nice enough to let me take a look before he left with it. That's my only problem with all the BG380's. Their trigger pull is so heavy it makes shooting accurately very hard...

I got hold one a couple days ago at my lgs. I like it but they still didn't improve the trigger any.

Thanks for the reply. I guess we're the only two that owns one of these. ;)

Hey guys. I just purchased a like new 329PD and was wondering what advice can you all give me about this gun. What ammo do you all use in yours? What ammo have you had the best accuracy results with? Is there any that I should stay away from? I'm sure it's tougher than it feels but honestly I'm...

Yea maybe it's a newly discovered problem connected to limp wristing. Lol Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Wow! Glad you weren't seriously hurt! Seems like S&W might be ignoring or just denying a problem with the .40 Shields. I have a Glock model 22 and model 27 that I bought new back in 1996 and both have had thousands of rounds fired through them. Never a "kaboom" nor any malfunction of any type...
