Just picked up a lightly used Smith&Wesson M&P (9mm) at a gunshow last weekend. It's for the wife, it fits her hand really well. Today at the range the first round out of her new (used) gun she has a stove pipe. Cleared it, 2 more shots we get another stove pipe. I shot 6 rounds through it thinking she must be limp wristing it. It fired all 6. Then I shot it while barely holding it trying to induce a limp wrist failure, it fired.
What I did notice is that after about 80 rounds through it all the brass was lying right next to our right feet. Usually the brass would bounce off your head or right forearm and land at your feet. (by contrast my Browning throws the same rounds a good 10 feet).
I really hate it when something dosen't work right. This smells funny. Is this week ejection common or should I shoot it some more and not panic so much. Any help would be great. Thanks
Using (Independence ammo, 115 gr fmj)
