@SW ROVER but why would case material affect how the cartridge feeds from a magazine. I looked at the pictures again and agree that it looks like the top round is nosediving. Not sure if this is because the slide is pushing it down or if it's a weak spring.

the gun is brand new and so are the mags. less than 100 rounds.

doesnt seem to cause issues in several of my other pistols.

hmm, about lubricant. how would that affect anything. I did lubricate the internal walls and the sides of the follower. but nothing excessive.

more pictures. these are from the range. you can see the malfunction itself and the primer on the round.

the failure manifests as the slide being pressed against a top round which still sits in the magazine. After taking out the round I see that there is a dip nick in the primer. This happened several times so not just a single faulty round. The whole situation is actually concerning in another...

The REassembly manual states that to re-assemble the mp9c: take down lever states in down position, slide gets pulled back and locked. Then user manually pushes the lever upward. Then slide gets released forward. For my Shield this works exactly as manual states. But for mp9c the TDL starts...

Confirmed by SW support that those are to identify CNC machine that made the slide 'and other information' about the slide.

Bought two SW pistols. One SD40ve and another MP9c. Both have odd 'pits' inside the slide, something that my old shield does NOT have. The pattern of pits is different however. Are these normal?

for shield I've found answers between 6.1 and 6.5 and no information for MP9c. I myself have shield and the MP 2.0 full. I'm considering 9c right now, but would want to know what the lbs are on the trigger pull. thanks

Yes, the ctr is one of the stocks that I'm considering--it's the first one on the list above.

Yes. no complaints about accuracy. As you say: it's just bugs me to no end.

Got my new AR and so far love it. no malfunctions. But I am bothered by the rattle from lose stock. From searching through these forums this is due to mil-spec tube and commercial stock. IF this is indeed the case can someone let me know if this...

thanks for pointing me to ulticlip. This holster is using ulticlip and might work great for me Amazon.com : Concealment Express: Smith & Wesson M&P SHIELD 9MM/.40 Tuckable Ambidextrous IWB KYDEX Gun Holster (Black, ULTICLIP3 + 1.5" Belt Loop/Clip) : Sports & Outdoors

I guess what I'm asking for is any suggestions on alternative holsters to the one I mentioned. I am well aware that the gun will be less accessible for the benefit of being more concealable. But that is what's needed in my situation. thanks
