I'm new to the M&P series as I've been a Glock guy for a long time. I like some of the features on the M&P that Glock lacks such as the visual loaded chamber indicator and "beaver tail". That being said, the magazines of my M&P 40 rattle when they're loaded. The cartridges actually rattle around with just a slight shake in and out of the pistol. Is this standard? My Glocks never did this. Just curious. Thanks.
Magazine rattle???

This is very common with double-column mags, and nothing to worry about. Normal production tolerances in magazines and ammo can combine in such a way that there is just a bit of looseness, resulting in the slight rattle.
When I load my mags I always bang the back of them against my palm or other hard surface when they are full. It is something I either was taught or just started doing back in the '80's. The other people who I compete with also do the same thing. I don't have any rattles unless my mag has issues (like one of my 1911 Para mags does.).
