M&P9 Reaches 20,000 Rounds
15-Dec-07 – 00:39 by ToddG
Shot the twenty-thousandth round through my personal M&P9 today. Most of the ammunition has been from ATK (including American Eagle, Blazer aluminum, and Speer Gold Dot).
This is the gun I’ve been using and carrying exclusively for the past three months. It’s only been cleaned four times during the entire 20,000 rounds.
My magazines started dropping out of the gun by themselves beginning at the 11,000 round mark. S&W was aware of the issue (it’s been reported widely in various forums) and was able to send me a replacement mag catch without any fuss. The new catch (marked “2″ and designed for frames which have a slightly oversized mag catch cut) fits tighter and holds the mags in place more firmly. So far, no problems since the new catch was installed.
Gun is still going strong and shooting 2-2.5″ groups at twenty-five yards.
