It's been somewhat of a long journey with my M&P's but if you guys can wait it out a bit (those experiencing problems) S&W WILL make your gun right. My M&Pc .40 is back from the factory, this time to cure the walking locking block pin. I had my gun back in two weeks - S&W ended up replacing the entire frame. I just came back from the range, fired 100 rounds of Win White Box and eureka my pin did not move. As for the mag catch problem (I didn't have it on my .40 but did have it on my 9), the tension on the mag release button seems stronger than I remember. No dropped mags, no problem with the slide locking back on the last round (had that one too with my 9c), just 100 rounds of flawless shooting. My confidence level in this gun has risen dramatically. In fact, I can't wait for my KD IWB to arrive so I can carry it in true fashion.
I am going to give you guys another tip and it's one of the least expensive investments you can make that really does IMHO make a difference....Dan Burwell's serrated rear sight is a keeper. A far better, cleaner sight picture than the OEM rear. It truly improved my accuracy. Now would I ever attempt to install another rear sight on an M&P? Yes, when pigs start to fly (just like the spring and cap did that sit in the rear dovetail -in fact several times). Do yourself a favor (if you are tool challenged like me), let Dan do the install. I never want to see/use a brass punch again.
