They have identified a condition whereby the trigger bar pin could damage the lower trigger in such a way as to cause the drop safety feature not to work. If a pistol with this condition were to be dropped, it could fire unintentionally. While S&amp;W thinks this condition may only be present in some more recently manufactured Shields, they are being cautious.<\/p>\n<p>To help determine if your M&amp;P Shield is one of the pistols with this defect, Smith &amp; Wesson has released a YouTube video showing exactly how to determine if the trigger bar bin is not functioning correctly.<\/p>\n<p>Kudos to S&amp; W for not only issuing the recall but posting this video showing owners on how to inspect their pistol for this potential defect. If a picture is worth a 1,000 words, then a video ups that by a factor of 10. <\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"315\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/jsQWGS-P9Pk\" width=\"420\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<div style=\"margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;\" class=\"sharethis-inline-share-buttons\" ><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Smith &amp; Wesson has issued a recall on their popular M&amp;P Shield pistols made before August 19, 2013.
