Smith & Wesson Announces Recall on the M&P Shield EZ

[Greg]

Kudos to S&W for doing a recall.

A “friend” wants to know where someone could find one of these pistols that fires more than one round per trigger pull.

[YVK]

Another friend wants to know what exactly is cracking in these since he didn't know Shields were hammer fired.

[Borderland]

Meanwhile SIG continues to deny P320 problems...after dozens of examples have had 'unintentional discharges'.

Sig has lost it's F'in mind. Not nearly as big as Boing but on the same glide path.

Only the Shield EZ are hammer fired, the other ones are striker fired.

Thanks for the heads up, I haven't even picked mine up yet (arrived there Friday).

This is why I don’t like MIM.

Do you dislike every manufacturing process because they are not 100% perfect, or just MIM?

[Doc_Glock]

Thanks for posting. That is a super scary failure mode.

I would argue that this has almost nothing to do with the process (as you noted, anything can go sideways) and everyhing to do with QC. Why wasn't his noticed *quickly* before anything got out?
