Oh dear gods, not another thread for this non-issue.
Allow me to repeat myself:
IT WILL NOT GO OUT OF BATTERY IN A HOLSTER. I have tried, I can't make it.

I worry almost as much about this as I do little green men from Mars.
And yes. My Shield does it. So did my XD. So did my Sigma. So did my wife's Glock 19.
Big deal. Push it back into position.

Even the guys over at "Brick"talk think it is a non issue. One guy admitted his brick and Kahr did it also.
The original guy put a loaded unholstered firearm in his pocket. Barrel obstructions would be more of a concern and of course and unprotected trigger.

I agree. I started that other thread just to see if anyone else's Shield could do it even though I thought it to be a non-issue. Another thread about the same topic isn't needed. To be honest, if you want to see what S&W says then just see what the OP says on that other forum when he gets his gun back from the factory.

I am sorry I am beating a dead horse but this does concern me. I see that most of you responding are not law enforcement but I carry a gun everyday as a cop. If there are issues with the gun,why woud I want to purchase and carry a gun that can come out of battery while being carried in an ankle holster or pocket holster. I need my guns to work flawlessly everytime, as my life depends on it. So I appoligise that I am beating a dead horse as you are calling it. I guess my best bet is to simply stick with my S&W 642 and to avoid purchasing a shield all together.

You are obviously not that experienced with semi autos. If you use a proper holster, this won't happen. The shield is a bit big for an ankle holster. For that get the S&W Bodyguard.380. No worries what so ever. We are just as concerned for our lives as you are even if you are a cop.

You are right I have only been carrying revolvers for 20 years professionally and a semi auto full time for 15 years..

The question has been asked and answered in the original thread on the issue, probably more than once.
I don't think we need to start this over.
Whether a new issue or an old issue is being discussed, we expect a certain tone level to be maintained on this board.

No need to keep preaching in the hope you will convert all the heathen to your true faith.
