First time shooting my M&P 22. Some behavior questions.

Thank you for the mag tip, I will give that a shot.

I'm pretty gentle with on the magazine insert however my wife is used to our Glock 21 and I keep catching here slamming the magazine in.

Just wanted to clarify that the feed issues, when they occur, tend to be on the second or third to last round. I don't get a stove pipe but I end up with a bent casing. I'm confident that I'm getting a proper stagger pattern on the rounds when loading the magazine.

However I will say it only happened to me last night, not her. But I did shoot more than double the rounds compared to her.

Again the FTF issues had not occurred prior to sending the gun back for the slide issue

When I had feeding issues (nose of the bullet slamming into the top of the chamber) cleaning the crud out of the magazines seemed to solve the issue. (Could be just coincidence though)

Had to send mine back twice, second time they replaced the barrel and that's also when I started to get the occasional stovepipe and feeding issues. So, I'm not all that surprised that you're having issues after s&w touched it.

Sorry to dig up my old thread but I thought I'd post back.

It took two trips to S&W and about 2000rds over the last year and a half to get this sorted out.

I tried a lot of oils and good old 3 in 1 seems to work best in this gun. Put another 300 rounds in it Tuesday night and only had two minor feed issues at the last round. No jamming and no stove pipes.

I only saw some light machining on each trip to S&W so in retrospect I should have just shot the **** out of it and perhaps lubed it with some sand and oil. Kidding on the latter..
