Bought a new M&P 40 compact on 8/28/13. Came home from the range and found the take down lever broken off. Appears to have been cracked from the factory. I had purchased Gander Mtn's Firearms Protection Program so I will return the gun to them and let them deal with getting it fixed. Major bummer.
May have to borrow a gun from a friend. Taking a Concealed Carry class on the 28th. I doubt mine will be back by then. The bad part is all his guns are Glocks. Oh well!!
