I thought I would put this out for everyone to be aware of. Smith & Wesson has sent out a message to all gun dealers/distributors. Do not sell any Shields until further notice due to something wrong with the lower trigger. S&W has announced more to follow in the next few days. So if you own a Shield they are advising not to shoot it anymore for safety reasons until fixed by S&W. I will post more as I hear more.

This is for VERY recently manufactured Shield.

TomE, If I saw a Shield come in with this very minor issue, I would advise the owner to get it corrected before I performed any work.
