Hi All, I am new to these forums, I just picked up my first S&W pistol yesterday. For a CCW, I chose the 9mm M&P Performance Center Shield. I ran about 250 rounds through it at the range and I had at least a dozen instances where the slide got stuck fully back after firing. The casing was fully ejected and the slide was fully back. There was no slack in the slide to pull it back and "sling shot" it forward, I was able to get the slide to move forward by slamming the rear of the slide with my left palm.
I used 2 different target 9mm ammo (I think both were in the 115gr range). I have used this ammo without a problem in other pistols, so I don't think that is the problem.

I emailed S&W and opened a ticket yesterday, I was just wondering if anyone else had a similar issue with their pistol and if so, what was the solution.

Thanks in advance,

Steve
