UNHAPPY WITH PURCHASE

[DEPDAVE]

BOUGHT A 9MM S&W M&P PISTOL. WENT TO THE RANGE. ALMOST EVERY SHOT ENDED UP WITH A STOVE PIPE, HARDLY EVER WAS ABLE TO HAVE TWO SHOTS IN A ROW. AT THAT POINT i WAS UNHAPPY WITH S&W, SHOP THAT SOLD ME THE GUN AND THE REST OF THE WORLD.
WENT HOME UNLOADED GUN, FOR A WEEK WORKED THE ACTION DURING THE NEWS. ROUGH ON THE FINGERS. NEXT WEEK WENT BACK TO THE RANGE, GREAT, NOT A SINGLE PROBLEM , NOW iI LOVE MY GUN.

Maybe you're limp wristing it. These are really small pistols and you really need to hold on to it. When I first shot mine, I had the same issue. I really wrapped around the grip and got a good hold on it and works everytime.

Sometimes not having the magazines fully seated can cause this. Might have been that your cycling the action smoothed things up also.
When I first shot my Kimber it had one jam and it locked back on the round before the last round. I found the magazine wasn't fully in place and I have never had that problem since. Magazines can play havac on guns.

Friends don't let friends use Caps Lock.

Glad your M&P has joined up with the legions of M&P's that are trouble free and fun to shoot!

I ONCE BOUGHT A CHEESEBURGER AND IT WASNT GOOD SO I PUT KETCHUP ON IT AND IT WAS GREAT


Thanks for the useless and uninformative post OP. No mention of ammo used each time or if you let someone else shoot it to see if it was you or the firearm

If your getting stove pipes could be week ammo you running reloads or re manufactured ammo? Did you try different ammo next week? When it was working good.

Cool It! Cut him some slack.... He is an Old Timer like me! Maybe his Caps Lock is stuck!

My M&P 9mm isn't a "really small pistol".

Sorry if this is the wrong place, new combined with old man on forums bad combo!

New BG380 here love everything but the serrations, My old fingers are thin skinned and those serrations just slide through them, had both of the shields and that was the same problem. SW needs to do away with these fish scales and give us some serious serrations, I HATE THEM, have to put tape on everyone of these sorry serrations.

You should sell it.

 

[sheepdawg]

Did you clean and oil it before you took it to the range the first time or was it a direct trip to the range from where you bought it?

Did anybody read all the words?

He loves the gun! There are no problems to solve, like limp wristing, wrong ammo, didn't clean it.

 

[Peak53]

Sounds like it was just a bit stiff and needing some breaking in. It is likely to get even better

 

[murphydog]

Welcome! I too just tried out my new M & P 9 for the first time last week, made sure the bore was clear and put a little Break Free on the sliding parts, it worked without a hitch. It's possible yours just had a burr or something was catching in the magazine that smoothed itself out with cycling the action. Enjoy and be safe!

 

[Tinhack]

Simply taking it out of the box and filling it with ammo will surely result in some kind of problem. While it should work that way it seldom does. I spent many hours cleaning, working on the trigger and working the action as best I could (RA) before putting ammo through it. I didn't have a single problem the first time out except for the manual sights. They're off a little but the CT laser is spot on at 10 yards.

Fear of the recoil causing pain in my arthritic wrist went away on the first round. It wasn't long before I tried "full semi-auto". What a great piece of machinery!

I have a full size M&P 9 and a Shield 9. The only problems I have had have been with a friend trying my gun (first time shooter "limp wrist") and when I shot reloads that I bought in bulk. NEVER a problem when I shot with good ammo.
