Hi folks. I was issued an MP and stumbled upon some problems a few days ago, it now has 300 rounds. The first 200 were with Fiocci (sp?) and it worked flawlessly. This past weekend I shot 2 boxes of Winchester (not the bulk pack) and got 1 stovepipe and twice the slide didn't lock back with an empty mag. In addition to the 300 rounds there are probably another 500 dry fired rounds, the trigger is starting to get smoother.
The gun was clean and lightly oiled before shooting the Winchester that day. I don't think the stovepipe was due to limpwristing, I own and shoot other makes without a problem and I've got a fairly firm grip. The failure to lock back doesn't concern me as much as the stovepipe but it still is annoying.
Other than that I like the ergonomics and light recoil. I prefer the trigger of my XD but it points just as well, is just as balanced and I may be more accurate with the MP. I'd just like to get all these issues resolved before I trust my life with this weapon.
Thanks all!
