The gun was just received by me from second visit to S&W. They changed the barrel which has noticeable differences in the tip of the barrel as well as the dimensions & angle of the feed ramp. I will be doing a range report via YouTube and posting all findings. Currently manual issue has been...

Glad I was able to help brother! That's what were all here for! Good luck w/ new firing pin & keep us posted on progress!

Here ya go brother! Good luck! http://smith-wessonforum.com/smith-wesson-semi-auto-pistols/220519-bg380-laser-button-fix-video.html

The top spring loaded part that is housed in the slide, just below the rear sight, is the firing pin stopper. (Safety feature to keep the firing pin from striking the primer when trigger is not actuated.) The trigger bar is supposed to raise that part to a full clearance point so that the...

Appreciate the support, and kinds words brother! Thanks for watching, and commenting. I can see how nails could definitely be effective for parts usage! Take care!

Just thought I would put up this vid of my implementation of the laser button fix originally posted on this forum. Hope it helps those who don't know about it yet. Let me know what you think: BG380 Making & Installation of Laser Button Fix - YouTube

Thanks for the support. Yea, I am confident S&W will handle the issue appropriately. They have had it for a couple days now, so it's just a waiting game at this point. I had a similar issue, w/ my AR from Spikes Tactical, that has since been rectified 100%. Apparently the bolt & chamber were...

Yea, I meant extractor, I edited to fix. lol No matter how I do it when there is no round in the chamber, it never fails. Only when one is in the chamber, and now it is happening when I shoot. I had like a dozen, or so failures at the match. The inside of my palm was bruised from slappin' the...

Yea, I am leaning towards the extractor at this point. As long as S&W takes care of it I am good. Thanks for support!

At the last IDPA match I attended, I was having failures to go into battery. This video describes problem: M&P Failure To Go Into Battery Issue - YouTube Let me know if you have any ideas, or if you have heard about this problem. It is not a break-in issue, I am way past 500 rounds w/ this...

You should have S&W send you another screw, or put some blue loktite on it. I shoot BB +P through mine and NEVER have back out problems. Hundreds of rounds through my pistol, never had an issue w/ backout of screw.

Most likely it is because the laser's dust cover screw was not torqued down enough & backed out on you. Call S&W, they will take care of it for you. In addition, remember to torque down on that screw. I have replaced batteries, installed re-inforcements for the laser button nipples, and taken...

Thanks, I had a lot of fun, and learned a lot too!

This is a vid of my first IDPA shoot using my M&P .357 "Auto" as S&W like to call it ("Sig" for those who don't know). I wound up using my buddy MakingMasterClass's (Youtube name) M&P 9 for the video'd stage 'cause I ran out of ammo (forgot to bring required amount). Anyway here it is in...

Great point, even for right-handed shooters that wind up needing to shoot w/ weak hand this will be an issue. It's always nice to see how arrogant companies are when addressing consumer needs....NOT

In the RAM installation video Randy mentions that they are working on a version for the thumb safety. I have the internal lock, myself so I am SOL. lol

You are lucky that the grip size works for you. I also totally agree, w/ the validity of using a laser in one's weapon system. Not only is there an advantage in twilight lighting scenarios, there is also ability to accurately shoot from the hip. This can be more valuable during certain...

You can try, they will send them to you. Let us know if the new are clearly firmer compared to the ones you have now. Also, let us know if the issue has been resolved for you after a long time, or if it returns again.

Last year when I had issues w/ the laser button, I inquired to S&W about the proper functioning of the safety. According to them the safety is designed to be more difficult to engage than to dis-engage. I found that to be the case w/ mine, and was satisfied as I cannot conceive of an eminent...
