OK, I don't have too many rounds through my M&P 45 yet (about 250 or so), but one thing seems to be universal:
It throws brass a long way.
Now, I realize that is far better than not ejecting the brass at all. However, the recoil spring seems to be rather weak. Even with 185 gr. loads in the 800 fps range, it is launching brass 10-12 feet. Anyone else have this issue? If the answer is a resounding "no", then I'll check with S&W. Certainly, bad springs show up every so often ... although this brass-launching phenomenon may actually be a design "feature".
Thanks,
