Just got my M&P 40 back today having sent it back for the same issue with the mags dropping out while shooting. Pretty fast work, they got it on Thursday & i get it back on Wednesday.
Looks like they replaced the mag catch. I took a look at the new catch to see if there was any differance I could notice and here's what I saw;
On the new catch the metal tab that contacts & holds the mag in is black in color & not silver like the old one. The new one is flat on both sides, the old one had wear marks where the mag contacted it forming a "dip" in the metal making the tip of the catch thiner ... almost like a ramp or point.
So I wonder if the wearing down of the catch is what caused the mags to drop.?.? Not sure if the new catch is a differant type of metal or not though. I did see a scratch in the black finish of the tab where the mag rests .. prob from the test fire. I'll have to keep an eye on it and see if the new one wears like the old did.
