Shot my M&P at Front Sight Institute

[Cougar8000]

Well I just completed the 4-day defensive handgun course at the Front Sight training institute in Las Vegas with my M&P on my hip and it performed perfectly. No hickups, no jams, no problems. The ability to slam the mag in to make the slide close was a huge time saver during the emergency reload and the malfunction drills. It made the guys shooting XP's in the lanes next to me quite jealous.

Great! Any time you can make somebody shooting another brand jealous is a GOOD time!

Now they want to get Shields.

Sounds like fun and I need to search one out in MI.
Is the slide closing a design feature or something that just happens with M&Ps when a loaded mag is banged in there?

It's not brand specific. I've had it happen most in Glocks, even a 1911 now and then.

That slide slamming forward just happens. With enough upward force you disengage the slide stop. Happens with any semi auto

I used my M&P 45 at Front Sight too. I had no trouble with it either. They are great guns.

I still like my 1911 though.
