I've put about 450 rounds through my m&p so far and as far as I can tell everything is great. I think I have had 3 problems so far and all 3 problems have been with Winchester luger 115 gr. ammo. Well I think its the ammo's fault as the 3 problems I have had are with this ammo and not the others I have used.
The problem:
I the middle of fireing off a mag of 17 I will get a jam of some sort where the slide will remain open and the gun wont fire. I have to pull the mag out (it is hard to pull the mag out) and then drop the round that is stuck in the gun by pulling back on the slide. The round then falls out of the gun and I notice it hasnt been fired. It just has a bunch of scrape marks on the brass cassing. I dont know why this happens but it has happened 3 times always with winchester ammo. I got the ammo at Sports Authority in a white box with red writting with 50 rounds per box. 115 gr. I bet I have put about 350 rounds of Remington UMC 115gr throught the gun and about 100-125 of the Winchester stuff through the gun. I am relitively new to shooting guns so any help on the matter would be great.
BTW- this gun is my home protection weapon so for that reason I have the concern. I like the M&P because it fits me well and I just like it, however, I dont want to be in a gun fight and have this problem come up.
TIA
