Slide closing

[Springfield Bob]

Had the slide close as I inserted the magazine on my M&P9. Anyone know why?

Chances are the slide stop was not fully in it's notch. It's not uncommon, I have several of my comp guns set up that way. But the stamped steel release of the M&P would be hard to do that way. I wouldn't be too concerned about it.

I have a M&P40c that I have run about 3000 rounds through. Sometime during the first 1000 rounds it started chambering a round if I insert the magazine fast and hard. It works every time and never fails. I can shoot 10 drop the mag, jam another in and keep shooting with out having to close the slide. It works good and I like it. I had a Gold Cup that wouldn't do that. I wish my M&P had the Gold Cup trigger.

There are a number of autos that will release the slide if you slap in a fresh mag. Seems to be more common with the polymer varieties.

competition Glock 17 does the same thing. Great for Competitions when you are doing run dry mag changes.

Both my Sigma and 59 will do it along with a co-workers 4046.

I have a M&P 45 and found if I put the factory mag in stong it releases the slide, if I put it in easy it doesn't.

I've owned three Glocks over the years. They all did this.

One of my M&P does it occasionally, the other does not. It's the nature of tolerance stack ups and part to part variation within the allowable range and nothing to be concerned about.

I see it as a desirable feature.

Thank you to everyone who responded to my question regarding the slide closing when inserting a magazine. I though I had a serious problem here. Thanks again,
Bob

My Beretta M9 9 mm does it every time.

Bob, does the slide close when you seat a magazine gently, forcefully, or every time?

 

[Springfield Bob]

It happened as I inserted the magazine normally. I shot a couple more mags without any problem but didn't trust the gun.

What a great feature! Would speed up my reloads in IDPA/USPSA matches to say the least...

Why do you distrust it?

It's not going to fire itself......

I was concerned when it happened that a round could go off. Glad to hear that it wouldn't fire on it's own.
