This has occurred twice now in about 500 rounds, so now I am concerned. My new-to-me (Manufactured 2013) M&P 45c is experiencing an occasional failure to fire. I picked up a (barely) used M&P 45c last month, I live in MA so before I even shot it I had a gunsmith adjust the trigger from the required 10+ lbs to 5.5 lbs. The first and second times at the range were great, I was really enjoying this firearm. Each time I shot about 150 rounds.
Last week I went back to the range and brought 100 rounds of Federal ammo with me. I shoot 97 rounds with no problems, I now have 3 left. I load the remaining cartridges (keep in mind the action is open from the last fire), rack the slide and when I pull the trigger I hear a click but no boom. Very unusual, since my other M&P has eaten 2000+ rounds in the past 6 months with 0 failures of any kind. I wait a few seconds and eject the round. The primer looks untouched, so I put it back in the magazine and proceed to fire 3 shots perfectly.
In an attempt to reproduce the issue I went to the range again yesterday. Using Winchester ammo this time, I shoot about 30 rounds and load a new magazine. Click but no boom. I wait, eject the round, see no visible primer strike and reload. From then on the pistol functions fine.
This is my backup carry so I am quite concerned, should I contact the gunsmith who did the trigger job or investigate another issue? Any advice is appreciated, thanks!
