I've been a member here for a while, but I guess I got culled due to inactivity.

Anyhoo...will be purchasing a new semi-auto very soon.
I've got my choices narrowed down to a Glock23 or a M+P .40.

I'm hearing a few negatives about the M+P:

-broken trigger return springs

-improperly machined barrel that would not eject spent cartridge casings

-pistol barrel broke into two pieces just ahead of the firing chamber

-spent casings failing to extract from barrel chambers

My new Smith & Wesson M&P .40 (kinda long) - Oklahoma Shooters

Officer Safety: Smith & Wesson M&P pistols - M4Carbine.net Forums

Anyone experience these failures? I don't know if they are true or not. Has S&W fixed these supposed issues?

I like the feel of the MP better than the Glock, and I'd rather have the Smith, but not if it's gonna be a problem child.

Several active duty and Marine vets are advising me against the M+P.

An no, this is not a troll...

Welcome back from Texas Maggie's Drawers. Great forum, have fun, learn lots, share what you know.

I carry a M&P 45 ACP as duty gun and have never had a moments problem. Like any mechanical device there can be problems, but I ahve been most satisfied with mine.
