I have a FS M&P 40 and a Shield 40. The Shield 40 has a much more pronounced recoil - definitely a more noticeable kick.

MD & NY, not NJ

Actually, this is my main reason for wanting a Shield 9 having never shot one before. I've just had too many problems with FTFs (no, I am not limp-wristing), jamming, and bulging cases with my Shield 40 to consider it reliable. Its been back to S&W twice in 30 days and am currently waiting for...

I have a FS .40 Pro 4.25" and thought to buy the Shield 40 to keep the calibers the same. I should have gotten the Shield 9. Problems I've had aside, the Shield 40 is too snappy for a handgun this small. My FS 40 is a dream to shoot, but the Shield is definitely made for 9mm. Go with the...

How much did they give you for the trade?

Same here. My FS M&P has never had a single misfeed or anything, it's perfect @ 2,000 rounds. It seems as though the Hornady Critical Defense ammo has a hire failure rate for some reason. I obviously use it a lot less at the range. Of the 64 HCD rounds I've fed it, 4 locked the slide up -...

So, I just got back from the range. That's funny how we sent our Shield 40's in for the same thing but they repaired them two different ways. You had your barrel and extractor replaced, I had my feed ramp polished out and my guide rod replaced. Anyway, I went through 100 rounds of FMJ ammo...

I have the Talon grips on my Shield too. They make a Talon piece for the Pearce grip? I know they make one for the stock extended mag. Did you cut that one down to fit the Pearce? Looks good!

lol... you have to heat the gun up to apply initially, then every now and then? Um, no thanks... What's so hard about using tried and true Hoppes No. 9 after every shooting session? Sounds like a solution for laziness.

I shipped my Shield 40 out to S&W on 2/21/14 and received it back on 3/10/14. Looks like they had it for 9 business days, so that's rather quick. They gave me an extra 40 cal 6-round magazine along with a note explaining the repair - "Polished feed ramp, replaced guide rod, adjusted trigger...

Mine was clean. Tons of factory oil on it though, but certainly no grime.

Trijicon makes Shield-specific Bright & Tough and HD night sights now. I'm going to get the Bright & Tough one's since the HD front sight is too tall for my taste. https://www.trijicon.com/na_en/products/product3.php?pid=SA39-C-600714 Trijicon isn't the cheapest but they make the best...

The GoPro is an insanely durable camera. People have thrown it out of planes and buildings and its survived. I would certainly not worry about damaging a GoPro, the thing is a tank.

I concur. Having shot exactly 1,000 rounds through the Shield, I've experienced a failure to chamber the next round or a jam 10 times - so a 1% failure rate which is unacceptable for a CCW. I contacted Smith about my issue and after a lengthy conversation they asked me to send them back the...

A few people, including myself, have had this issue. http://smith-wessonforum.com/smith-wesson-m-p-pistols/357950-new-shield-40-will-not-feed-rounds-consistently.html

First post here also. I have this exact same issue with my M&P40 Shield and I have 800 rounds through mine. I also have a M&P40 FS 4.25" Pro with 1600 rounds of the same ammo through it with 0 issues whatsoever, so I think it's the Shield's issue. I have used WWB FMJ 180gr and Hornady...
