Smith & Wesson has identified a condition where the trigger bar pin could damage the lower trigger in certain M&P Shields in a way that may affect the functionality of the drop safety feature of the firearm, potentially allowing the pistol to discharge if it is dropped.
Any unintended discharge of a firearm has the potential to cause injury, and we ask that you STOP USING YOUR PISTOL IMMEDIATELY UNTIL IT HAS BEEN INSPECTED AND, IF THE CONDITION IS FOUND, REPAIRED.
I’ve never felt comfortable with trigger safeties, and especially when made of plastic; I know folks love their Glocks, and there are a lot of similar systems out there now, but I’m an old fashioned engineer. Thumb safety, grip safety, button safety, other types…but a trigger safety looks to me to be inherently an invitation to an unintentional discharge…
