Thanks for all the replies folks. I am enjoying reading them. Russ, I agree, A gun should be designed to run flawlessly under all very adverse conditions with or without lube. This is my 5th M&P and all of them i have shot right out of the box without even one failure till now. Ok, For right...
One short and sweet E-Mail to S&W Service center and in less than 24 hours a box and paid shipping label is on the way to me for to ship the Shield back the factory. I quote "We Suggest You Return The Firearm To Us For Our Inspection" is what was said in the reply e-mail today. As i sit here and...
Not for the same reason as yours but i have a shield 9 that is going back to S&W this week. Mine is have Extraction issues. I have had it for about 5 weeks and it has 500rnds through it with 10FDE's. The shell casing in the box is dated 04-13-13. Im not discouraged at all but a tad disappointed...
Follow Up Range Trip After Cleaning The Shield
OK Folks, This is how today's follow up range trip played out for my M&P Shield 9 with the FTE issue.
I went with 100rnds of Federal Champion 115gr fmj, 50rnds of Federal 124gr Hydra Shock JHP and 100rnds of my very accurate and very reliable...
The shell casing in my box says 04-13-2013 so mine could not have been made to awful long before that. I picked it up on Friday and fired the first 250 on Sunday. I hope this is something that is just due to my lack of cleaning it out of the box before shooting it. Its very clean and lightly...
I now have a Shield 9mm with 265rnds through it but i do full expect the front dot to come out like usual. My full size 9mm dot flew out in the first 150rnds in 2010 when i got it. I talk to the service dept about this and was truly surprised (shocked actually) when i received a full set of...
Ok folks, Thanks for all the replies. As of right now i do believe i have the cleanest M&P Shield on the east coast of the USA. I will tell ya though, The oil that was on the inside of the gun was as thick as i have have seen out of all the M&P's i have bought. This one makes number 6. The oil...
I am a hard core S&W M&P lover. Between me and the wife we have 5 of them. Never had any problems with any of them beyond the usual site paint popping out of the front site of my full size 9mm (by the way S&W sent me a full set of sites to replace them). That's what has me a little miffed, I...
M&P .45 Full Size FDE!!!
I would most certainly go straight to S&W. Their customer service is amazing and quick. Get this, My m&p full size 9mm front site paint popped out within the first 100rnds fired out of it so i called them and they sent me an entire set of sites to replace just the paint...
M&P fan all the way, I have many!!!
I will start my own thread on this but i wanted to reply here as well to see what replies i get for this. I picked up my Shield Friday and Range trip was today. Like i said in my title i am a HUGE M&P fan and all mine work flawlessly so this is why i am...
