Default M&P 9mm- Problems when new???

I was at the range today and saw a couple with a new M&P 9mm. They were having trouble with it. The slide would not lock back on an empty mag and they were having feeding failures every other round.

He said he thought it was because the springs were new and they were too strong. I replied that I didn't think that was an issue and that the gun shouldn't have these problems. He then followed with, "Well, this is a common problem with M&Ps when new. They all do this." I told him that I hadn't experienced any issues like that with my M&P 45 and he said I must be one of the lucky ones.

He also stated that it might be the ammo. He had Sellier and Bellot ammo.

I fired the gun a few times and it worked perfectly for me. Then his wife fired it after I did and the slide failed to lock back after the last round.

This leads me to my question, have many of you experienced problems like this with an M&P 9mm? I don't think it should do that.
