Who's got an M&P Shield?

Ftf- failure to fire.... fte- failure to extract

I used it wrong then.  In my case it was failure to feed.  Slide locked back and the round wasn't fully extracted from the mag.

the round is stripped from the mag when the slide goes forward. when the slide moves rearward it strips it from the breach.

if the slide locked back, you most likely accidentally hit the mag catch and it dropped far enough out to not catch, or you bumped up the slide catch. if what you meant was that it failed to extract and you got a stove pipe then you had a light load , squib load, or you limp wristed.

I have had the shield 9 for a while now probably 800+ rounds thru it.  Love it

All makes and models have their bumps in the road. All of the new single stack composites have had some troubles starting out. it seems that they have been worked out and are good to go. XDs 9mm- serial numbers between XS900000 and XS938700 XDs .45ACP- serial numbers between XS500000 and XS686300 had recalls
S&W shield August 19, 2013 and before requires trigger hinge pin inspection to see if it needs recall work done.
Cant go wrong with either guns, just buy new, or know what to look for

whatever the reason, I would blame the gun.  Shouldn't be that easy to cause it to choke.  Have never experienced that with my Beretta 92 or my s&w 3914 (though that one is still pretty new to me).
