| S&W has had a large number of firing pins breaking in LEO guns....a recall will be coming. Check your shitty two piece pins on your M&P... |
Sound like a little bit of flamer hate. I'm a GLOCK man through and through but I also own a S&W M&P .45. I'm a LEO and I know many officers that carry the M&P. Sorry but I haven't heard a single word of this happening. If it was then we would also hear it from the civilian market too. Because LEOs aren't just the only ones buying M&Ps. |

vaporware till S&W does a recall. only one guy but 50k is a lot of rounds. pistol-training.com/archives/740 |
| I have heard a few rumors that some of the very early M&Ps did experience broken firing pins, but that S&W sorted it out quickly and made running changes in production which resolved the issue. I have not actually seen any recall notice from S&W but would not be terribly surprised to see one for early guns...time will tell. |
What's your source on that one? I've busted strikers on M&P's, but it was with early guns and there was a lot of dryfiring involved. I haven't dryfired my carry gun since replacing the striker and it's been through a few thousand rounds with no problems. |

Just checking, but you do know the J/K means I am just kidding, right? |
Indeed. I'm on a first name basis with a number of people heavily involved with the M&P...and I haven't heard a peep about a recall. Now I certainly don't know everything, but I'm pretty darn sure I'd know about this. Absent some sort of documentation, I'm calling internet commando shenanigans. |
I can relate! 
|
My M&P 9 has well over 2000 rounds through it without issue so far. I know a few people with them and have yet to hear of the issue the OP is talking about. One would think it would have come up by now. |

Quoted: As one who makes a living selling to agencies and individual officers, there has been no rumblings along this line that I have heard. I've placed M&Ps in quite a few Ohio agencies and none have reported a "large number" of anything breaking. [edited to add] Or a small number of anything breaking. :)S&W has had a large number of firing pins breaking in LEO guns....a recall will be coming. Check your shitty two piece pins on your M&P... –– Mike |

Quoted:
The NM State Police ditched their Glock 31s in favor of M&Ps due to a high rate of failure with the Glock frame and that Glock would not give a definite answer as to reasonable service life. That's strange I've never heard of glock not replacing a gun if the frames break especially LEO, Glock generally stands completey behind thier products, where did you get this information? What exactly failed with the frame? We have 31's at our dept as do several others around here and after 10 years they are going strong without one problem whatsoever? Sorry to Hijack, just the first I've heard of this and I'd be interested in learning more? |

The early models did have dry fire issues, but S&W fixed that really fast. My M&P has had over 300 rds with no failures at all. So DrDeath, check your shitty source of info before posting. |
