For what purpose do you want the new pistol?

No. Test fired 50 rounds of a new-to-me round today with zero issues.

Great pistol. We have one and it's great to light off a couple hundred rounds with no recoil. Accurate, too.

I do best with all my 5 M&Ps using #3, combat picture. The Novak fiber optic front sight has fallen out twice in my 40 Pro 5", and I finally said enough is enough. I shoot through the hole left in the front sight, which is about as combat sight as you can get. Don't laugh, it works and works well.

To add to the laundry list, I really like Gunzilla, which is a plant based CLP that works. For copper removal the same company makes Copperzilla, which has no ammonia and also works very well. Hard to find in gun stores, but Amazon carries them.

Find a range that rents both and compare how they shoot for you. Both will do the job.

Had same problem with my 40 Pro 5" at 15,000 rounds. Repair took about three weeks at no cost to me.

Might try putting a small amount of CLR at each end of the shaft.

Have you used a bench rest to take the human element out? Maybe even have another shooter who shoots M&Ps well bench rest it. We have 5 M&Ps of various flavors that all shoot dead on.

If you read the contents of gun scrubber, etc. it's the same as non-chlorinated brake cleaner, ~$3 per can at your favorite big box store. Have used it weekly for 3 years on half a dozen polymer firearms with no issues. It does remove the glue used on stick on grips, however.

Love my hipoint carbine in 40. Goes bang every time, made in the USA and has a lifetime, no foolin' warranty.

While I've always cleaned the striker mechanism with aerosol brake cleaner (gun cleaner clone), just for fun I thought after 20,000 rounds it might be time to actually take it out and see how it looked. Short version is not bad at all. A bit of black but not enough to hinder operation. The...

Don't worry, you'll eventually end up with a drawer full of holsters any way you start out. Data point: my favorite IWB design has the two belt clips with a leather shield separating your body from the pistol. Easy to wear all day. Whatever way you go, get one that is specifically made for your...

another new M&P22 data point Sorry about your issues. We recently bought a M&P22 to go with our M&P9 and M&P40S&W. Have shot 600 rounds, unfortunately no Remington. But, 400 rounds were 45 year old Western Super X yellow box that my dad bought in the 1970's. These had previously not fired well...

My experience has been very good. After about 15,000 rounds fired, the slide stop broke off on my M&P40 Pro. Called S&W customer service. They emailed a shipping document and returned it fixed in under 3 weeks. No charge to me for anything and they included a 10 round mag for free. Also later...

Nice write up and pics. As for the striker channel, I squirt non-chlorinated aerosol brake cleaner into the firing pin opening on the breech. Work the striker a few times and re-squirt. After 8,000 rounds I've never had a light strike. Simpler and faster than disassembling the striker. Also...

Wife decided to add a new 9mm full size to our M&P collection as her house pistol. After cleaning and lubing, we put 300 rounds of factory reloads through it today with zero issues. Group size was 3" at 10yds freehand standing. After cleaning and lubing, it now sits at ready during the day next...

No, not in IL.

Passing along excellent customer service by S&W. The manual tabs for the slide lock broke on my M&P Pro 40 5" after about 5,000 flawless rounds. While the slide would still lock back with an empty magazine, it was very difficult to manually shift the slide lock up. Customer service...

Unless one of the sights is actually off center, lots of folks find that their new to them pistol gets more accurate after a few hundred rounds or so. If you move the sights early on, you will probably have to move them back when it gets more accurate. ;)
