I am a member of several shooting/CCW/handgun forums. I always recomend the M&Ps and Steyrs as my two favorite "Plastic Guns" My M&P40c has been 100% realible with any ammo that I have tried to feed it. Admitedly, that is not that many brands. Federal EFMJ, Win White box and my own "Home Grown" of various loads and styles. All have performed flawlessly. The only problem that I experienced was the mag release spring was too light for my taste (easily remedied).
I cannot be one of the lucky few. That just doesn't happen to me!
I am sick of having the very next post after my extolling of the merrits of the M&P be some guy who says "Just look at the mp-pistol forum, They're having nothing but problems with that gun!"
Now I don't debate that some have experienced problems. Some more serious than others.
But I would love to get some real numbers from the public or from Smith & Wesson as to the actual percentage of problems /guns sold. It may not be possible. If enough members here try to get the info from S&W it may happen???
I guess this turned into more of a rambling rant than anything else. I just hate to see a great product get lost to the public because of a few "Newborn Problems" that every mfg. experiences when they introduce a new product.
I'm done bellyaching(for now)!
