So I figured I would ask here and see if I need to contact S&W for support.
So I was getting some range time with my M&P40 this evening when I encountered an odd problem. I was firing some speer 165 grain ammo when I had a spent casing get stuck in the chamber. I attempted to extract the casing by forcing the slide back and ejecting it, to no avail. I had to remove the slide from the frame and barrel from the slide ( not easy with a round in) to get at it. After pulling it out I cleaned the barrel and slide to reloaded. I now have 2 issues.
1.) The spent casings are not ejecting, and if they do they are mangled... maybe the extractor? After all that forcing it may be junk
2.) But the second issue is even if I can cycle rounds every other shot or so my magazine pops out on its own
These are the first issues I have had with the gun. I bought it used (manufactured 2007) less than a year ago and put about 400-500 rounds down range.
Appreciate the feedback! Thoughts?
