My M&P40C was a perfect performer for about 300+ rounds when suddenly, the mag catch began dropping the mag a fraction of an inch after each round - effectively stopping the gun. One call to S&W and I had a UPS call tag on the way. That was a week and a half ago.
I received my M&P 40C back from S&W today. S&W paid for overnight shipping both ways. Note says they replaced the original mag catch (which was marked with a "2") with another (which is marked with a "1"), tested, and all is ok.
Tonight I ran 41 rounds of Speer 180 gr Gold Dot ammo through it and the gun performed perfectly. With well over 300+ rounds through it, the trigger is now feeling really awesome (MUCH nicer than any of my Glock triggers!) and tonight I was reminded of how accurate and easy to shoot this gun is. I am now exceptionally enthusiastic about this gun -again-... all I need now is about 400 more rounds of shooting without problems to re-establish reliability and confidence again.
I am thriled to have this gun... I think it's the perfect feeling and shooting compact 40 available at any price.... feels so good in the hand you don't want to put it down. And in spite of what a reliable and solid shooter my Glock 19 is, the M&P totally smokes the Glock for trigger feel, shootability, and feel in the hand. I'm even more accurate with the 40C than with my 19 as well. Here's hoping the mag catch issue never rears it's head again.
Looking forward to shooting my 40C a lot more in the coming days! This gun is truly amazing and S&W is unrivaled in the firearms industry these days in customer service & warranty. Buy Smith & Wesson!
