I had my M&P 45 out last week testing some assorted loads (both factory and handloads) and ran into a problem with it feeding. I have put over 500 rounds through it prior to this and have used some of the same ammo I was shooting this time around and never had any problems. It happened using two different magazines too. As I was shooting, every couple of rounds would strip from the mag and go about half way into battery and then stop. I would give the back of the slide a good tap with my palm and it would close and fire OK. After the first two mags out of a clean pistol had done this, I stripped it and checked the chamber for gunk or anything like that, but it was clear. It continued to do the same thing the entire time I was shooting it. I did noticed one thing, the mags seemed to have a little slop when seated, but I don't recall if it has always been that way, or if it is a new thing. I would not call it excessive by any means.
Does anybody have any ideas at what may have been causing this problem? I shot my 1911 right before, using the same assortment of ammo and it all worked fine in it. I double checked everything again when I got home and found the mags to be a teeny bit dirty, but nothing that should have caused any problems. Would limp wristing cause this malf? I have never had any issues limp wristing before and none of the other pistols I shot that day had any problems.
Any input or feedback would be appreciated.
