Shield Barrel Replacement?

[mjmagee67]

This indian shoots fine. The spread is more than any of my other pistols. The trigger is horrendous.

So by your own admission it may be you not mastering the trigger on a small compact pistol....

I was not blaming the Indian.

It is possible that the barrel is crap. I have had to return 2 guns (S&W and Marlin) because the new barrel was bad. Neither gun should have left the factory. I also had a Springfield M1A that had a bad barrel, but I sold it instead of sending it back.

Contact S&W and let them sort it out.

Lone Wolf's website says the new convention barrels are "non CA compliant".
Legality aside, will these new conversion barrels work in a CA version of the Shield? Might one need to remove the loaded chamber indicator to make it fit properly?

Edit: For the purpose of clarity, I mean the new Wolf conversion barrels that will allow you to shoot 9mm out of a Shield that was originally chambered to shoot 40.

Yes, the Lone Wolf barrel will work with a CA compliant Shield with a minor change. I did it and my .40 Shield is now a 9mm that has worked flawlessly on several range trips.

Here's the write up I did on how it works and the parts you'll need.
It's really dirt simple.
