I posted this thread shortly before Christmas: https://www.indianagunowners.com/fo...e_12_malfunctions_in_less_than_50_rounds.html.
I had multiple light strikes and FTFs with my brand new M&P 9.
Sent it back to S&W to have them check it out and I anticipated selling it once it was returned.
Well . . . I got it back and I asked myself, why not give it one more try?
S&W replaced the striker assembly and barrel. So it looks like I had a defective striker and a barrel with a meaty burr on the feed ramp.
Finally had the chance to take it to the range today and put 150 rounds down range and had ZERO malfunctions. It ran flawlessly. I had been reading a lot about M&P 9 accuracy issues but mine seemed to shoot just fine.
Anyway, just thought I'd provide that update. If you were on the fence about getting an M&P 9, I say go for it. Even if you have an issue, S&W will take care of it.
