Did you remove the magazine?

Is it a standard Shield, or the EZ Shield? Asking as hitting the grip safety on the EZ while taking it down can cause issues.

There is a "thing" somewhat resembling a small part of a paper clip, sometimes painter yellow, just under the bolt face when bolt locked back. This "thing" must be pressed down with a ball point tip or similar. Then the slide travels forward and off when the slide stop is released. The thing then must be raised again in re assembly. An EMPTY magazine inserted will do this.

Lock slide to rear, push down on the sear release lever( little yellow lightning bolt), rotate disassembley lever
Read your owners manual to refresh your memory on the process.

Well did ya? Six days since OP posted and no response. Inquiring minds want to know!
The thing is the "sear deactivation lever" according to the parts list.
He other way to remove a S&W M&P full size of shield slide is to "glock it". With the gun empty and mag removed turn the tack down lever and move the slide into battery then pull and hold the trigge, the slide should then come forward and be removed. S&W doesn't any to do this but people who never read the manuals do it all the time.
Yeah, rude!
The Sigmas were just like the Glock, had to dry fire to get slide off. The M&P series came with the little dingy so it disengages the sear so you don't have to dry fire it for those that can't handle the stress.
