Ive got a used m&p 340 that ive had for almost a year. When shooting 158 grain 357 magnum ammo, 125 grain 357 magnum hornady critical defense and 357 magnum Remington golden sabre the cylinder is coming unlocked under the recoil. I am a left handed shooter and the guy that runs the lgs thought that my hand might be contacting the latch that unlocks the cylinder. I did some more testing firing slowly and watching my hand motion and that isn't the issue. Yesterday I had 2 cylinders of golden sabre and critical defense do It then I shot about 20 38 +p and 50 38 special monarch ammo through It and had zero Issues. I have successfully fired 357 Winchester pdx1, speer gold dot 38 special +p and hundreds of 38 special fmj target loads and hand loads and never had the issue happen. What could the problem be? Seems like
the excessive recoil is just loosening it up. The cylinder latch Is not loose you have to push on It pretty good to unlock the cylinder to load or unload It. I was going to just not worry about it since I normally carry 357 pdx1 ammo. Anyone ever heard of this? What should I do.
