That's because the hammer is not cocked, which means the slide is not moving rearward enough to cock the hammer after the round fires, which means the round does not have enough power to blow back the slide adequately to cock the hammer and eject the round. Could be weak ammo or just a tight...

that's crazy, especially since the 10 round long mags are readily available for $20. I guess either people are misinformed or really want a short mag for the bench. Midway has the 25 round long on sale for $15. They must have a boat load of inventory otherwise I doubt they would put them on...

I believe the barrel is the same, but the barrel nut is epoxied to eliminate a threaded barrel.

It almost looks like the spent casing is getting hung up on the next round bullet not allowing the casing to be fully extracted. Not sure if this is a cause or effect of the problem. Maybe once the spent casing hits resistance, the extractor is slipping past the rim. Maybe this is mag related as...

Does your front sight appear to be centered on the slide, or is it offset to the left as well? I would definitely attempt to center the rear sight. Seeing it off that much would surely drive me nuts. Be warned, the rear sight can be a PITA to drift without the proper sight pusher. Might be...

The Pro version (178035) is identical to the standard 4.25" version other than the night sights and Pro sear. The pro sear reduces the trigger pull by about 1 lb compared to the standard sear. I usually see the Pro for about $100 more than the standard version. So for $100, you are getting...

Read a recent article regarding gun shows in New York state. Our friends Gabrielle Giffords, Mark Kelly and the New York Attorney General are now monitoring gun show sales personally. Gabrielle Giffords to attend gun show in upstate New York | 7online.com

Intrastate unlicensed private sale transfers are regulated by state or local laws, not Federal Laws. Some states do not require background checks for non-FFL unlicensed private sale transfers who live in the same state, but some states do. In any case, an unlicensed private seller can NOT...

Thanks for posting. How about the slide lock lever extension tab that interacts with the magazine follower in order to raise the lever? There have been some recent threads regarding a new design in the follower which is not interacting properly with the slide lock lever. Wondering if the...

They already are. The Manchin-Toomey bill S. 649 included language regarding advertisement, posting, display or other listing in a publication. "it shall be unlawful for any person other than a licensed dealer, licensed manufacturer, or licensed importer to complete the transfer of a firearm...

Obviously, you and many others here have documented successful conversion of the shield from 40 to 9mm by simply replacing the barrel and mags.. For the OP, you should watch robkarrob11's videos on youtube. He documents everything very well. S&W M&P Shield 40 Conversion to 9mm - YouTube

Probably due to the shorter length of the slide.

Best I've done so far is a 1/2 inch group (4 rounds) at 7 yards standing off hand (4 round groups), but typically shoot around 1 to 1.5 inch groups at 7 yards. The gun is much more accurate than me.

The extractor is mounted on the slide. The ejector is mounted to the sear housing block. For some reason S&W does not list a separate part number for the extractor, only the complete slide assembly. Obviously, the M&P does have an extractor AND an ejector according to the Armorer's Manual.

I would examine the slide lock lever position after the last round fired compared to you manually locking the slide. Maybe the magazine follower is not raising the slide lock lever adequately. Try inserting the mag after you manually lock the slide to see if there is any difference. Check the...
