S&W M&P Shield Complete slide detail strip

[tercel89]

Does anyone here know of a good video that show the complete detail striping and disassembly of the slide to a S&W Shield ? I have seen videos but I can't find one that shows the removal of the rear sights which allows you to take out the safety plunger and all .

Sorry guys , I just found a good video of it. I guess I posted before I looked hard enough. I was loooking for detailed strip/dissassembly video and found nothing but when I looked for rear sight removal I found what I needed. Thanks and sorry to post a wasted thread.

Nothing is wasted here. I learned to look for "sight removal" to find how to strip a slide.

Post up the video, I'm sure someone else will have the same question somewhere down the line. Definitely not a wasted thread if you help someone else at the same time.

Here are some good video's that helped me . Especially with using a soldering iron to heat up the rear sight lock-tite stuff.

And thanks guys for not ragging me on this LOL. I am still considered "old school" and not computer oriented . I hope this helps you guys with your Shield . One a side note , I sure wish that S&W had not made the darn Shield with the componants under the rear sight ,  DUHHHHH . But it is a darn little good gun for sure ! I am keeping mine for sure and never selling it .

When I watched a detail strip video for the shield, I was very surprised that you had to remove the rear sight.  I am almost commited to purchasing one of these guns, but want to know, just how big of a deal is it?

 I few other guns are like this but they are hammer fired. This was the first striker fired one that I had seen like this. But I'll tell you that the Shield is a real treat to shoot and carry . I may later on detail strip it and put it back togather but not use the heavy duty locktite on the allen screw on the rear sight .
