Smith & Wesson issued a pistol recall notice for their M&P Shield EZ pistols manufactured between the dates of March 1st – October 31st, 2020. Smith & Wesson has identified cracked hammers that fail to fully engage the sear which subsequently caused multiple successive discharges of the firearm without depressing the trigger. If you have an M&P Shield EZ manufactured between these dates and want to know if your serial number is included in the recall you can enter your serial number in the form at the bottom of this linked page. Full recall details from Smith & Wesson have been posted below:
RECALL ALERT: Smith & Wesson Issues M&P Shield EZ Pistol Recall
M&P SHIELD® EZ® PISTOL IMPORTANT SAFETY RECALL NOTICE FOR PISTOLS MANUFACTURED BETWEEN MARCH 1ST – OCTOBER 31ST, 2020
Smith & Wesson has identified two M&P Shield EZ Pistols on which the hammers manufactured by our supplier were cracked. In those firearms, the hammer failed to fully engage the sear, causing the round to fire, cycling the slide, and potentially resulting in multiple discharges without depressing the trigger. This issue can occur in the following two scenarios:
With a loaded magazine in the firearm and the grip safety depressed, releasing the slide (by pulling it back, or releasing the slide stop), may ignite the round as the slide closes, without engaging the trigger. The condition may occur, regardless of the manual thumb safety position if equipped. This may also result in multiple discharges.
With a loaded magazine in the firearm, the grip safety depressed, manual safety in the fire position, slide closed, and a round in the chamber, pulling the trigger will cause the round to fire normally, however as the slide cycles, the next round may be ignited as it is chambered by the hammer failing to fully engage the sear, causing multiple discharges.
In all cases, the firearm will NOT fire unless the grip safety is depressed. While this condition has been found only in two hammers, and our investigation suggests that these two incidents are very isolated, any unintended discharge of a firearm has the potential to cause injury. Therefore, we have established this Safety Recall as a precautionary measure to ensure that all M&P Shield EZ Pistols in service meet our design specifications.
Stop using your M&P® Shield™ EZ pistol until you determine whether it is included in this safety recall, and if so, until it has been inspected and repaired by Smith & Wesson, if necessary.

I have personally owned two Shield M&P EZ 9mm pistols and have already checked my serial numbers and they were not included in the recall. I would strongly urge any Shield EZ owners to check their serial numbers to ensure that they are not a part of the affected lot of pistols. So far, Smith & Wesson has only identified two such pistols that are affected by this defect. However, I find that in this case being proactive instead of reactive could possibly save lives should the cracked hammer break and result in an unintentional discharge.
