Another super serious Shield problem! Must read!

[dts]

Interesting problem.

I've discovered a SERIOUS safety issue though. If I pull the trigger, the gun will fire. I'm not kidding, I've tested this extensively and every single time I pull the trigger, regardless if I intend to or not, the gun fires.

To test this theory before posting this, I pointed the Shield at my office wall and pulled the trigger. BLAM! If my dog had been sitting there she would have been dead.

I hope my pistol is a fluke and others don't have this problem. I've contacted my attorney about filing a class action suit should others find their pistol has this defect.

PM me if you have a problem with your Shield firing when the trigger is pulled.

I'm having this ISSUE to! Not only does it fire every time I pull the trigger but the Shield is emotionally addictive! I can not put it down.

BTW...You have a excellent video on the Shield, probability the best I've seen .... However, you did not speak of this dangerious "issue".

i guess it wasnt funny enough over at Glocktalk so you posted it here too.

So why is that even mentioned?
So what?

Glocktalk ... Who is that ?

I Found a Fix. They don't come with a battery. I just added batteries and everything is fine. Now if I can just figure out how to keep bullets in that darn mag. ....

Glocks can talk!

Do they speak with an Austrian accent?

S&W will soon be over run with returns so I will be helping them out. Send me your Shield and I will be installing the approved ammunition and emptying it back out until I get tired of doing that to your gun. Then I will move on to the next gun. No matter how many I get it will work on them all.

What size and how many?

Size or quantity doesn't matter,just one of any type will work to keep you in battery. BUT,you need to keep them in your left front pocket if you are a right handed shooter. Left handed,best to use a rear pants pocket. Either way,remove before doing the laundry and using the dryer.

Now if you are making it go out of battery on purpose and just complaining (or don't even own one). A 9V works best after you complain (doing it by hand), if you put your tongue on the +/- end of the 9V. That works better yet to help just quit doing it.

I'm on the hunt for Shield #2. Damn, I hope that one works when my eyes are closed

Try a different caliber!

Try a different caliber!

No, I don't care for fo-tay, personally. I'm happy with 9mm. 45 ACP is my 2nd choice.

I have shot several 40s, and only ever owned one 40 cal gun (I don't have it anymore)

 

[shipwreck]

I almost had my lunch fly out of my mouth at the screen these posts had me laughing so hard. I'll bet the guys in the office next to me were wondering what was going on. This was just plain hilarious!

You can sue your office for that...

Doesn't Trijicon make Braille night sites to fix this??

Hey Shipwreck, wasn't that the Super Shooter/Master Blaster technique that Costner used in the "Bodyguard"? Seemed to work for him. Defective Shield, my eye!.......lol

"Use the Force, Luke!"
I wondered where Obi-Wan was these days. Answering the customer service line at S&W, it seems....
Now if S&W will get off there defective plastic gun building butts and deliver us a green or blue Light Saber, then all is forgiven.

Great stuff, All! LMFAO several times! Coca-Cola out of my nose and everything!(Damn, that burns, too!)

I know that most peoples pride gets in the way and dont want to admite that it is opperator error but this is deffinantly NOT! operator error. S&W should absolutely send you a new one or a refund lol

 

[chad2]

I knew this would turn into an epidemic. We must put a stop to this. Who's down for a road trip to S&W to handle this in person?

If only I could find my car keys

I would offer to take my car but its a ford and they wont drive with out gas so the dealer has it and when they fix this problem i probably wont be buying another ford for about 10 years

Yes indeed. When I buy the second 9mm S&W Shield I am searching for right now, I plan to send that gun back too! Unbelievable that they let this stuff get out of the factory doors like that

I am feeling like it is my moral duty to buy as many of these defective guns as I can, to get them off the streets.

Coca-Cola out of my nose and everything!(Damn, that burns, too!)

I'll get you my attorney's phone number. He'll want to talk with you about this. I think Coke owes you some money for that, because they have failed to put a warning for this on the outside of the bottle. Don't let this one go....

I ordered a set and they came in today - the problem is that I can't get the bpx open unless I run with the scissors while opening the package. I'm in a quandary over this mess.
