Dissappointing day with M&P 45

Outstanding.

On the Apex kits, if your gun is as rough as mine was then I must confess yet again on this forum that it went from rough to so smooth that I accidentally "doubled" or something a time or two at the range with it. It took a few minutes of getting used to just how smooth the Apex kit made it. The common reference is to say it made it more like a 1911. I wouldn't go that far, but it did get rid of every once of gritty trigger pull feel with only that snapping green twig feel of a striker fire gun as the break. It's almost too smooth now if there can be such a thing.

I own an M&P 9mm that I absolutely love because with the Hogue grip it fits my hand like no other pistol I've ever held. It just "feels" right. I also put the apex trigger in it. So I was looking to buy a 45 and naturally decided to try the M&P45 as the grip is so similar. I bought one new at FourSeasons and took it to the MRA range on Wed. I ran a patch through the bore. Using Federal hardball ammunition, all went well for about one magazine. Then it started to jam. The round hung up at a 45 deg angle in the throat. It started doing that every other round. I suspect it was the same problem DustyDawg48 described. I ran about 3 magazines through and it just kept doing it over and over. I brought it immed back to FourSeasons. They inspected, cleaned and lubed it and I went back to the range and it did the same exact thing over and over. I took it back and Carl exchanged it for another new one. I took that one to the range, ran a patch through the bore and put 100 rounds of a mix of the same and some different ammo through the new pistol without a hitch. I'm gonna get the Hogue grip and drop in the apex tactical trigger set. So far it looks like a keeper.
