I do, however, have one more question that I forgot to post above.
I seem to be getting much more wear on one side of the gun. Is that also normal? There is hardly any wear on the other side. Sorry for rookie questions. Many moons since I shot.

1. Put a light grease on the rails and the bottom of the slide that cocks the hammer.
2. When you use underpowered ammo and end up on an empty chamber, you are dry firing the gun and S&W says right in their instructions not to dry fire the M&P22. It can damage the breach and/or break the firing pin. Sell the ammo to a Ruger or Buckmark owner and buy the ammo that will allow your gun to function properly.
