First, thanks for posting. This is a serious recall.

Interestingly, it is for a failure of the drop safety system, which is allegedly what the rigorous CA DOJ drop testing is supposed to catch.

DOJ approved two Shield models.

Is it possible that the drop test isn't even being performed at all and is really a bureaucratic barrier for law abiding gun owners? :roll:

It would be interesting if a lawsuit results in the DOJ being subpoenaed for the test records of those models.

If you have one and live in CA, post here or PM me.
