Welcome and congrats

Same thing happened to mine. S&W sent me a new sight.

Good morning all, here is the load that I have been using for my M&P 40 pro Bullet MG 165 JFP Powder Tight group 5.3 grns Col 1.120 taper 0.420 Been happy with the load so far your results may vary :)

While cleaning my M&P 40 pro last Thursday night I noticed that the fiber optic had fallen out of my front sight. Friday morning I called S&W to order a new front sight. The gentleman who helped me asked me 2 questions, would I like to send the pistol in and my address. I arrived home this...

one in the chamber, magazine topped off and a extra mag in the pocket.

Good morning all, I am 50 years old and been around firearms all my life shoot 1 to 2 times a week. Took my grandson to his youth firearms safety course yesterday and I learned some things. Guess I don't know everything, it was a great day.

Thanks I just finished doing that as you suggested I did find a small indentation on the edge of the feed ramp were it looks like it is almost worn? I am eager to get to the range and give it a try

Thanks I have never heard of tuning a magazine will do some research on it. I have 3 magazines and have numbered them to see if it was just one mag but have not found one mag is worse than the other

Giving some more thought to the grip aspect of the problem. I use a thumbs forward grip. Is it possible that I am putting to much pressure on the slide with my left thumb (right handed) to cause this failure? Bear in mind that this is the same grip I use with my Kahr.

Good morning all, Thanks for all the great reply's, lots to think about (whew) To reply to some of the questions the pistol functions about 99% using factory loads.I have given a lot of thought to the problem being with my grip but have been told that if you are limp wristing the pistol the the...

Will try that Thanks

Results Good morning all, thought I would take a moment to post changes I made and the results. The load I am now using is: 180 grain MG fmj 5.2 grains Bullseye 1.130 col I have stopped using the lee budge buster and started using the lee factory crimp die. This last Friday the case gauges that...

Thanks for all the help. It is time to reorder bullets so I am going to try the 165 as suggested. will get a case gauge and start all over. I have been given a LOT of advice over the last 8 months on loads and such and appears not all was correct Thanks again

The theory for the 200 gr bullet was to try to mimic the factory loads that seem to work better than the reloads. I will go back to using the bulge blaster first but have tried it both ways and haven't really seen any different results.

I just checked the crimp on 50 rounds I loaded this morning and its running .4205 to point .4210. I have noticed that my COL is somewhat inconsistent it will run currently from 1.1295 to 1.1330 or so but chalked that up to using mixed brass. I have been thinking of buying the case gauge will do.
