Has anyone figured out why the M&P 10mm 2.0 has so many problems? Mine still pukes loaded rounds out the ejection port straight out of the magazine.

I have been trying to get my 10mm M&P to behave now for a couple of years. I have tried different recoil spring rates, magazine springs and have installed the Apex extractor. Failures have decreased, but I still can't trust the gun to fire a full magazine without a failure to feed (round jammed into the barrel hood, mostly) or a loaded round just being shot out of the ejection port unfired. I am using full 10mm Auto loads, a 200gr bullet at 1200fps... because if I wanted a .40 S&W level load, I would have just bought one. It has been very frustrating. Any thoughts?

I had a 1066 that fired a round and while cycling, a round would jump from the magazine and land on the ground.
I don’t know what recoil spring weight comes with the gun, but a 18 or 20 pound recoil spring should solve that issue.
This only happened when I shot hot factory loads running about the same fps - 180 gr bullets.
What was happening is the slide came back with too much force and slammed the frame causing the issue.
You may even have to go a little higher on spring weight.
I also tried a stainless steel after market guide rod and found the spring was binding on the rod. Went back to factory rod.
If it was my gun, I would send it back to S&W customer service as mentioned in above post.
 
I own two of them now.
Have yet to shoot the 2nd.
But I went and ordered a heavier spring for the first one.
I usually run 180 handloads that chrono at 1325
Don't recall any problems other than it flipped brass into the next county.
 
I've had an M&P 4" 10mm for about 3 years and love it! Very accurate and ergonomic with a great trigger and 100% reliable. With those big funky sights I shoot it great and it has become my favorite handgun out of the 20 or so that I own.

When I use mine the first round always jams, after i unjam it, it then shoots every other round good. It has happened to me 3 times I went and shot. I dont know why

Gee could it perhaps be your ammo?? Sounds like reloads??
