I would honestly skip SW to solve it and call Randy or Scott at Apex and see if they have a solution for it. That's a good idea. The 147s are going around 1025 from my 5" gun, but I haven't chrono'd them from the Shield.

I don't have a problem just selling it, but I think anybody'll buy it until it's fixed. I'd be happy to sell it, but I don't want to give it away either because I think eventually I'll get it fixed / replaced.

I don't think the 147's are the problem. I shoot the 147 gr. bullet weight from my Shield, M&P Compact and 5" M&P Pro Series all the time with zero issues. My son has an M&P that gobbles the 147's as does my Glock 19.
Every normal man must be tempted, at times, to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats.

I wonder if they accidently put a 40 recoil spring in it?

Update.....After its 3rd trip back to S&W and some back and forth they just sent me a new one. I put 200 rounds through it without any issues and the ejection is very consistent. I shot this 4" circle with a magazine from 3-5-7-10-15-25 yards each. The new trigger is much improved. There's a little take up and then a stiff wall to press through with almost no creep and as far as I can tell no overtravel. It's exactly what I think all plastic guns should feel like. ![[Linked Image]](http://i192.photobucket.com/albums/z118/Bluedreaux/231079E9-3E2E-43A5-BA67-AD46C2C47ACE_zpsaendtrgl.jpg)
