Just to give you folks a heads up or if anyone has come across this problem.
Took 5 of our officers out on the range today to qualify on their new M&P 40's all 5 new guns ,shot approx 150 rounds 165gr federal. While observing the shooters on the line I noticed one of my shooters had a pertruding pin sticking out of the top of the slide. I stopped to inspect his firearm and noticed that the pin securing the extractor was backing out of the slide approx 1/8 of an inch.
I took a spent brass casing and pushed it back into position and test fired it myself and noticed it was still backing out but not as much, but only fired 2 full magazines. Other than that guns fired perfect with no malfunctions and increased qualifing scores also.
Has anyone else had this problem? Will be contacting S&W LE on Monday.
Serial Number MPN3XXX
