What is happening when the bottom half of the trigger moves? Is it doing anything internally? The reason I ask is a Shield I bought has had the trigger glued together. Thanks |
| The first half of the trigger doesn't move anything internally. Its just a safety feature, similar to the "safe action trigger" on the glocks. A lot of people don't like the "hinge trigger" on the m&p so they glue it down. Its a little crazy to remove a safety feature on a firearm. I would recommend replacing the trigger bar |
| I just bought an unfired 9mm Shield this past weekend, from a Private sale, and my trigger doesn't hinge at all. It doesn't appear to be glued but the trigger acts as a single solid unit.... I thought it was strange too. I'm not that familiar with these M&P series guns at all, and wasn't sure if it was just stuck or something. I'm not sure whether to send it back to S&W or a local gun shop to see if it they can "un-stick" it. Has anyone else run across this? |

Try spraying it out with some type of cleaner and see if it frees up. |

I just posted a safety alert from Smith & Wesson relating to the trigger. It sounds like your pistol may be one of those affected. I would suggest contacting S&W directly using the info in the link http://www.smith-wesson.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/Category4_750001_750051_791654_-1_757978_757978_image |
