Wow adweisbe, that's quite a horror story. I own two other S&W's, an M&P 40 cal and a full-size .357 revolver, and I've never had a problem with either. You say that problem doesn't surface until much later? I don't think I've even owned a gun long enough to put 30K+ rounds through it, at...

I've been looking for a full-sized 5" 1911 for a while, and I think I've settled on the S&W. It's gotten rave reviews, it's not too expensive, and I like the fact that they come with good sights and other updates. Does anyone have anything else to add, or any other suggestions? I originally...

I'm trying the nylon dress sock routine out. And I have nylon dress socks for church :D ... and funerals. :( Update: In case anyone was wondering, Nematocyst was right, the sock has worked fine and now the gun fits just right. It took about 3 hours, but unfortunately I didn't have a...

Thanks a lot. Think I'll try wrapping the gun in something like wax paper and expand the holster a little. Right now the gun doesn't come out without some prying with both hands.

Can anyone recommend a good way to break one in. I've got a Don Hume IWB for my M&P 40 cal and it's a really tight fit. I've put some leather conditioner on it and left the gun in for a while, but it's still a pretty tight fit. Should I just keep leaving the gun in over night, or is there a...

I've had a 40 cal M&P for over a month and it's worked fine, not one jam after close to 1,000 rounds. The interchangable backstraps are nice too. The gun is slim and fits the hand very well, and like others have said the trigger has a great feel to it and recoil isn't bad at all. It's been...

I bought the model without an internal lock and mag safety by complete accident; I didn't even know S&W offered this version of the gun at the time. I've put close to 1,000 rounds through it without a problem, and I'm glad I bought this version of the M&P.

The M&P is a good gun. I just got mine back from Smith & Wesson and they installed the new extended slide release. I was never too fond of the slingshot method to release the slide. The new release looks almost the same but it sticks out a little more on both sides so you can just use...

Those are some good points. Maybe I should stick with leather for IWB. Any advice for a good leather IWB holster for a full-sized gun?

Does anyone have any experience with these holsters? http://www.gunnersalley.com/product/COMPTACCTAC I'm thinking about getting one with the C-Clips for my M&P 40. The M&P seems slim enough for IWB carry and it looks like a really good holster. Right now I'm using an adjustable paddle...

I've had an M&P 40 for a while and I'm very impressed with it. I've shot several hundred rounds through it without a single stutter. I sent it off to S&W two weeks ago to have the new extended slide release installed so you don't have to use the slingshot method. I should get it back early...

I don't really "slam" it hard, just enough to knock it loose. I have friends with Glocks who do this and it's worked fine for them, but I'll stop once I get the new release.

Thanks a lot Dan, that new release does look more my style, and it looks like it still dosen't stick out that much. (I can't afford the classes to really master the slingshot method at the moment, and I don't really like it anyway). I'm starting to lean toward sending it back, but I plan on...

I've called S&W Customer Service and they sent a packing label to ship my gun back to get a new slide release installed. I haven't shipped it yet. So I was wondering if anyone has one yet (Coronach?) If so, how are they and are they worth the 2 to 3 weeks installation and delivery time...

revjross, you should try to rent one from a local gun range and see what you think of it. If you really like the 9mm, go ahead and buy it but don't use it as a primary carry weapon until you've shot plenty of rounds through it. If it has any problems whatsoever just ship it back to Smith &...

I've got a 40 cal M&P and it's functioned flawlessly. There are other threads on this forum where people have had problems with the 9mm version, but I don't know if there is a definite difference in quality between the two. I'd wait a little longer and read some more reviews about the 9mm...

I've got a Ruger P90. It's big, ugly, and heavy, but it's extremely reliable (I've shot thousands of rounds through it without a problem) and cheap. It seems to eat any ammo I feed it and overall it's been a great gun.

Thanks for the advice. The baseplates on both mags seem to be fine and everything else looks just fine to me. I just got back from the range and put another 300 or so rounds of winchester white box and remington through it without a hitch. So far I am very impressed with this gun and glad...

After reading Ermac's problems with his M&P 9mm and all the possible causes and solutions, I'm getting a little concerned. I've fired about 450 rounds of remington and winchester 165 gr. fmj's with no jams at all, I've even shot "gangsta style" and limpwristed but still it keeps on firing...

I've had a P95 for a while and probably put over a thousand rounds through it with no problems whatsoever. I also ordered a Mec-Gar magazine that holds 17 rounds and still sits flush in the gun. I've fired several boxes of ammo through it and it also works flawlessly. The Ruger is a very...
