One of my local gun shops just got an email stating that ALL Shields are being recalled and further sales to be stopped. WTH?!
He said further info coming.

How do you know that guy who started that thread isn't an idiot? I also noticed the linkback to this thread, so we are going around in circles over a rumor started by someone who has not provided a source. Even then, his source could also be flawed.

What a load of malarkey!
Fact is I don't know... he could be an idiot. They both could be idiots...or neither. maybe both are the same idiot ...relax.
as far as the link back, it was only so peeps on both forums would know it was slightly more than an isolated thread... the silver city FB post appears legit...for now

Of course it didn't. That would be too much to ask.

Seriously. Not to be demeaning, but I've learned in my short time visiting ar15 DOT com that there are a large % of nutjobs on that forum.
People who MIGHT be knowledgeable, but are certainly running the ragged edge of sanity.
Man, whatever you do, DON'T disagree with the opinions of certain people on that board. They will go nuts on you.
And DON'T - under any circumstances - ask for advice then NOT go with what they tell you to do. You'll get annihilated. I've not personally experienced it, but I certainly won't ask for advice or opinions on that board after some of the personal attacks I've seen take place. Including from moderators.
If I need advice on my AR, even though my current one is not an M&P, I'd probably ask here first before asking over there (unless a thread with similar topic was already underway).

I take everything I read on the internet with a grain of salt. That's why I'm so thirsty all the time, lol.
There are several sites like this one, Defensive Carry...com & the two Army ones I moderate with good reliable info plus maybe a couple more that I have more faith in.

I've said this to a lot of people before. I would think S&W would be the first to put something out there. Just my 2 cents.

Boy that would suck if for real.
That would likely put me further back on the schedule for picking one up. Was targeting later this year. Might have to either change my timing plan or go for my second choice.

I would think that it would appear here, IF it were true.
Product Safety Information - Smith & Wesson
But I DID come across this:And this actual verbatim email post in several forums:
We received the following announcement from Smith and Wesson today. More info as it becomes available..
"To All Smith & Wesson Customers
Smith & Wesson is in the process of announcing a Safety Alert relating to the lower trigger on M&P Shield pistols. We should be in a position to provide you with more details as to the scope of the affected pistols in a few days. In the meantime, please stop all sales and shipments of M&P Shield pistols pending further notice. We appreciate your assistance in ensuring that the products we provide to customers meet our high standards for quality and safety."

I was taught, as a child, believe none of what you hear and only half of what you see. When it comes to the internet, if you didn't make it up yourself believe even less than you hear...

So it looks like a bad batch of the trigger safety spring (not sure that's even the right name) went out recently. Looks like this effects only recent Shields and a small number of them at that.
I just hung up with S&W Cust service. They said that there is not an actual recall out but there was a safety alert on a trigger. He did not have any other information at the time but did hear about the rumor/alert.
No word if the safety alert will turn into a recall.
Hope this helps.

***Update*** " M&P Shield Safety Alert" Confirmed by S&W. See post #78.
