I am looking to purchase a M&P 40 compact. But am a little cautionary about the problems they seem to be having. I want a good and reliable carry gun. I have S&W mod. 410 right now, and it's been nothing short of of an awesome gun. I have probable 2000 rounds through it and has never had any problem what so ever. I also bought a S&W 22A. Took it to the range. Second shot, it didn't go to battery. And did it several times after that. I got home and stripped it down to clean and lube it. I haven't had it out yet after that. I'll see next time I go to the range. Meanwhile I'm reading and deciding about the M&P 40c. I don't think I'll need much arm twisting for that to happen. Jerbear
