Yup.This is exactly what happened to my Shield. I started having FTF's my second range trip (my issues surfaced day 3). I field stripped it and saw the guide rod was bent as well as the base of the spring. It's currently back at S&W.
That said, I have never had one issue with my Glocks with parts or being picky with ammo.
Probably the main reason I'm interested in the 43. Glock has proven to be reliable to me.
I was this '' close to buying a Shield 9. Had the money in hand, ready to go to RifleGear, then I visited the SW forums. Now I own a Glock.

If it's single stack, why is it still so wide? Might as well keep the Glock 26/27.The Second Amendment ex-tends, prima facie, to all instruments that constitute bearable arms, even those that were not in existence at the time of the founding. - The United States Supreme CourtComment

No, they really are. There are Gen 2 glocks out there with 50,000 rounds down the barrel without even a guide or spring change. They are like the Austrian Chevy's of guns.
I doubt there are Shield9's that will even make 10,000 rounds without a guide rod problem.The Second Amendment ex-tends, prima facie, to all instruments that constitute bearable arms, even those that were not in existence at the time of the founding. - The United States Supreme CourtComment

Seems like a nice carry pistol, but the 42 was a deal breaker for me because of the 6 rounds. Unfortunately I feel the same way about this 43... Got other better options.Comment

That has been the opposite of my personal experience with glocks. As for the shield, I don't know or care since I don't own one.

I don't think they are the same frame, where did you read that?
For a long time now readers has been asking for a single stack Glock 9MM.Well the rumors have been flying especially so in the recent few weeks with the teaser ads from Glock and of course speculation by everyone in the shooting community.The wait is over!I can officially tell the readers the Glock 43 single stack 9mm is a reality and will be available shortly.
This pic has the 43 and the 42. They look like different size frames to me but it could just be the angle of the shot

Oh...and is it bothering anyone that they could not fit an accessory rail?Comment

Xds seems like the better choice for the money, round count, and calibre options, right?Thanks, and as we say in Spanish,

The grip on the 43/9mm looks like it has more length as one would expect compared to 42/380. I don't think you're going to fit a 43 mag into a 42 frame.
I will have one of these. I don't call in chits with Dad in OK very often, but this is moving to the top of the gift list. Only question is get it sooner or wait for the silent revs and updates to come out.Comment

From the article
"If you are familiar with the Glock 42 in .380 you’ll be familiar with the big brother in 9mm. The frame size is the same as the model 42 with the slide being 8mm longer than the 42. Magazine capacity is the same at 6+1 of 9mm. "- See more at: http://www.thefirearmblog.com/blog/2....e6LiKZB6.dpufComment
