I will do my best to take better photos when I get home tonight.
All 3 of my M&P's do like you describe your recoil spring, I think the "half moon" cut in the barrel is just to locate the spring end to facilitate assembly and the operating position is what you see when disassembling. Once it's together it can't come out of position. I think the cause of you malfunctions lie elsewhere.
