My fullsize M&P 9 is over the 6000 round count at this point and I was wondering if or when I should replace the recoil spring or any other part? I have no malfunctions of any kind, I just have never owned a pistol with this many rounds through it and don't know if I should wait for something to break or fail before I replace it.

It's barely broken in.

Thats what I like to hear.



Is there a point when you should start thinking about preventitive maintenance?

 

[choochboost]

IIRC, the factory officially recommends changing out something at 5000 rounds - I think it was the recoil spring, but at 5000 there should be plenty of life left in it. The S&W rep told us to ignore that recommendation.



You might want to keep an extra mag catch lying around. :wink:

How many rounds should the striker assembly be good for?

Mine made it to 6000...that is now....grrr.....i'm upset. I wonder if I call the rep if they can have me one sent out.

Well smith came through...they sent out my striker today, they only showed one in stock so I guess I lucked out...sorry to anyone who breaks theirs now.

When parts start falling off... at round count 60,000 maybe.
