    Smith & Wesson Shield EZ Recall IMPORTANT

    PRESS RELEASE FROM S & W

    Smith & Wesson has identified two M&P Shield® EZ® Pistols on which the hammers manufactured by our supplier were cracked. In those firearms, the hammer failed to fully engage the sear, causing the round to fire, cycling the slide, and potentially resulting in multiple discharges without depressing the trigger. In all cases, the firearm will NOT fire unless the grip safety is depressed. While this condition has been found only in two hammers, and our investigation suggests that these two incidents are very isolated, any unintended discharge of a firearm has the potential to cause injury.

    Therefore, we have established this Safety Recall as a precautionary measure to ensure that all M&P Shield EZ Pistols in service meet our design specifications.

    This notice applies ONLY to M&P Shield EZ pistols (including Performance Center® models) manufactured between March 1, 2020 and October 31, 2020, and only to a small percentage of that population. It does NOT apply to all SHIELD™ pistols. Stop using your M&P Shield EZ pistol until you determine whether it is included in this safety recall, and if so, until it has been inspected and repaired by Smith & Wesson, if necessary.

    I'm trying to decide if this is a flaw or a feature.

    Had that happen to me once, with a S&W model 915. Was at the range went it decided to go full auto.
    Got a pretty funny look from the shooter in the next stall.

    Held onto that pistol for just a short while, before sending her back to S&W.
