    I can explain it to you. I can’t understand it for you.

    How do manufacturer's feel about warranty'ing or recall'ing guns that have been modified?

    Specifically, if I've swapped out some internals to Apex and have stippled the frame would S&W tell me to kitten off?

    I think mine is fine but just want to know just in case.

    Mine functioned properly 25 times and I will continue to check it on a regular basis. It will go back to S&W if it ever fails the test.

    Hang on to get the details. On another forum a fellow has a spring missing from the hinged trigger so the lower part of it isn't spring loaded. It's pretty obvious if your is so afflicted. If that is what this turns out to be it should be a pretty clear Go - No Go determination.

    They will replace all non-factory parts with factory parts.

    That would NOT be acceptable. I know GLOCK does that when you take a gun in to check. They usually put the non-factory parts in a bag and return them with the gun.

    My Shield is fine. It was one of the very first commercially released batches. I tested it last night and again today after watching the video. It's GTG.
