    M&P 45 Midsize, slide not as far forward as it should be.

    Today I got what seems to be an automated reply from smith.

    M&P 45 Midsize, slide not as far forward as it should be.

    I agree with you. My phone number was included to Smith. I am going to let this go by email, and see how long it takes to have SOMETHING happen. I love my 40c, and short of this the 45m is great as well, but I do have plans of a 9mm in the future. This is the first time I wondered if it was...

    oh, and thanks for the offer, depending on what smith says I may have to take you up on that.

    Well, you are right....ish. It's a 45 midsize. 4" barrel upper on 10 round frame :-)

    Thanks, but its still not the guide rod, its the barrel causing the issue.

    I already posted up what I will be doing "If smith says because its just cosmetic they won't try to fix it, then it is what it is, but it will still bug me." Thanks for the help.

    That's what I was trying to say in the last paragraph of the first post. The issue is where the barrel and take down lever meet. It can't be anything else. I eliminated the take down lever by swapping it with a known good one. If the take down lever placement was wrong the guide rod with...

    Here is a clearer picture. You can say that m&p's arent precision instruments all you want, but we are talking about CNC machined barrels. Factoring in tool erosion and a drunk operator, NONE of the dimensions should be anywhere near .020" off, let alone have mine be .020" one direction and...

    You are missing my issue. Your slide is FORWARD of the rear of the frame, just like my 40c is, and just like it is supposed to be. My 45 is BEHIND the rear of the frame by .020"

    I know that .020" is nothing to most people, but it bugs me. If smith says because its just cosmetic they won't try to fix it, then it is what it is, but it will still bug me.

    This has nothing to do with the length of the guide rod. The guide rod is correct. Here are some pictures. With the slide off the frame, the guide rod sticks out .035" With the slide on the frame it sticks out .066". A difference of .031". Factoring in that it has to be off by something (my...
