First I would like to thank the members on this forum. I also had mag dropping issue after 3rd or 4th round. I sent it to S&W before I saw this thread. S&W was great (not a fan boy). It came back in about 6 weeks with 2 new modified followers. I e mailed them that I had 4 additional magazines that needed new followers and I would purchase if needed. I was sent 4 more for free (without steel insert) in 10 days. With the help of this forum, changing them out was really a snap. I took it to the range yesterday. About 100 rounds between the 6 mags. No issues. Thanks again.
