Default Newer model m&p auto forward inquiry

Hey guys. This is a question I've been looking to get an answer to for a long time. The newest m&p pistols have a redesigned slide stop for trigger reset and strength, this I know. I called s&w and asked the CS rep if that new slide stop helped cure the auto forwarding issue. He said, while they have not said explicitly that it does, that he seems to get a lot less complaints about it on the newer guns. So my question is, for anyone that had an m&p that was made in the last year or so, and has a new style slide stop, does your autoforward? I had a 2009 that did it very easily with not very much effort at ell exerted on the mag. Thanks so much!

Mine is about a year old and if if insert the mag and smack it in a forward direction the slide will release and chamber a round. I never felt like this was a problem or a defect. My neighbor's Beretta does the same thing.

For me that is a huge advantage in my book, one less unnecessary movement when you are stressed out in a competition or self defense situation.

my FS40 has a 10-13 date and after 600 rounds it does it sometimes....doesn't bother me...I think the newer mags make it happen...I can make it happen every time if I slam the mag hard

My 9L does it most of the time, I wished it did it all the time. I've noticed that I can get it more often when the mags are full. If I have downloaded mags it's much more difficult. My Pro was built in 6/13

Thanks for the replies guys! Sounds like the autoforwarding nature of the m&p remains. Some may see it as an advantage, I personally do not, but to each his own. It's a shame, for me it's a deal breaker on the pistol. The one I owned didn't feed various hollow points reliably when autoforwarding, only being successful about half of the time. That being said, I have respect for the gun, and even more for the company.
