Went to the gun show in Roanoke last weekend, picked up a lightly used S&W M&P Shield in 45ACP for the girlfriend. She lives by herself and when I am not there she had nothing until we got her this one.
She can work the slide, although the gun has a low round count and the recoil springs are pretty stiff for a female shooter to manage. What is troublesome is depressing the slide stop to release the slide. I find it hard even for me, I have to use two thumbs to operate it, she can barely manage this part.
Have any of you ran into this with this model pistol? Is there a fix or a mod for it?
