Pat Riot Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 If you know someone that has or you have a Shield EZ check out this notice from Smith & Wesson regarding a recall due to a hammer issue. I saw this in another forum and thought I should post it here as I recall a few folks here talking about these pistols. https://www.mpshieldezrecall.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sixgun Sheridan Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 Well they ARE advertised as being easy to shoot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wyoma Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 I think they are referring to the slide operation. The original M&P's were tough to rack. I think Stainless Steel Guiderods has made a fortune selling replacement slide springs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cactus Jack Calder Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 Pat, Thanks for the heads up. I had to check my EZ9 but I’m safe. Wyoma, It is easier to rack the slide and also load the magazine. They have tabs on the follower that allow you to pull it down with you off hand so you don’t have to force the stack of shells down to accept another round.

The Original Lumpy Gritz Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 This should be pinned at the top of this forum for a spell. OLG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OLG Good idea OLG. I reported my post and asked that it be pinned. I would hate for someone not to know about this and have an accident. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OLG Although this isn't on the Wire Forum, it should be pinned there also as many who visit the Wire don't visit this Forum. I know many a SASS member that carry Shields.

Krazy Kajun Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 The recall is for a possible crack in the hammer.....a supplier of the part provided defective hammers. Kajun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
