I really like my S&W M&P9 a lot. However, after owning it for about 6 months I have recently noticed the slide (when fully forward) has more side to side wiggle than any of my other guns. I think its been like this since day one, but I'm not 100% sure. If I had to estimate it would be about 1mm worth of movement to either the left or right. It does not move when locked back. I have a S&W M&P45 and 9mm compact, and they have a tiny bit of wiggle but not as much. I was wondering if any other M&P9 owners could chime in and tell me if this is normal, and if so perhaps why they do it that way.
It doesn't seem to effect accuracy or reliability as I shoot this gun very well and have never had a malfunction.
