Richard, this can really only be answered by knowing the Serial Number and contacting Smith and Wesson. You can see if Buds is willing to verify if this batch is affected since they have the Serial Numbers at 1-859-368-0371 9am-9pm EST Mon-Fri. or use the Blue Chat now button at the bottom right corner 9am to 9pm Mon - Sat and 9am to 7pm Sunday.

"It does NOT apply to all SHIELD™ pistols. To determine whether your M&P Shield EZ Pistol is affected, check the label on the box to determine date of manufacture and if manufacture date is between March 1, 2020 and October 31, 2020 – your pistol may be affected. In this case (or if you are unsure of your date of manufacture), simply go to MPShieldEZrecall.com and input your serial number, or call 888-871-7114 ." That is a direct copy and paste from SW website, when they launched the recall all of the affected models had by buds and other retailers were sent back to SW. Buds only has one available serial number left of this gun "RJH6078" and when I run it through the recall tracker it says "not affected" Full recall info and serial number tool here https://www.mpshieldezrecall.com/
