M&P FTF issue

[NW-GSP]

Nope letting it go to operate like its designed to do sounds like i should just snd it back and be done with it

I would recommend that or giving them a call first.

everything I've found so far points toward the ejector.

Out of curiosity, what kind of ammunition is hanging up on you?  And to the comment saying M&Ps can be finicky... no.  M&Ps will eat anything a Glock, XD, Sig, FN or Ruger can eat.

M&P 9mm failure to feed
Here's my input:

The ejector isn't involved in the feeding process.  If your problem is the same as shown in this video , it is your extractor that is the issue.  There might be a burr (probably towards the bottom edge) on the extractor hook that is preventing it from sliding into the extractor groove on the case.  You should also look for an abnormal build up of gunk that might be contributing to the issue.

It should be an easy fix.  As long as you know how to use a punch, hammer and can punch out a roll pin, you shouldn't need a gunsmith.  You should remove the extractor and using a file or Dremel, remove any burrs or deformities on the extractor edges.  Don't round the inside edge of the 'hook'.  Only remove material that obviously shouldn't be there.

If you don't want to try that, I'm sure S&W would be happy to help you.  Personally, I would rather do the 5-10 minute job myself than wait several weeks.

This image shows what the extractor will look like removed.  I've never taken mine out before. There is probably a spring under decent tension underneath it, so be cautious.

Same problem as video federal ranger and target, hornady custom jhp, blaser brass, pmc bronze, and winchester white box all 115 gn

The guy in the video is the problem not his gun. hitting the slide release or letting the slide go when fully back is how semi autos ar4e meant to be operated. With yours you said it does it when hitting the slide release i would definitly guess rough feed ramp or recoil rod spring assembly. Hope you get it fixed and back soon.

Thanks fisherdave problem fixed took out the extractor it had tool marks in the claw on the bottom edge so i took them out with some emery cloth smoothed things up so i put back together and now  its eats everything just like before.

You are a good man!

M&P's CAN be finicky. I had one that would fail to fire (would dent the primer) and it would also fail to eject. This was isolated to a couple brands of ammo. I sent it back to S&W and they sent it back saying everything was "within spec". I took it out and still had issues so I sold it and bought an XD...problem solved

I have the M&P .45 and took it to the range for extensive testing last weekend.  I put about 500 rounds through it.  NO PROBLEM, I do have two complains!  I hate the night sights it comes with and the trigger.  The paint dot on the front sight disappeared slowly, by the time I was done it was all gone    But the gun shoot immensely accurate for that price, trigger, oh well I guess I can upgrade that anytime same with the site.

glad someone here could help you out. I have many handguns but my M&P 45 has the most rounds 2050. All problem free. I am thinking of having it sent it and ran through. Guessing it should have a new recoil spring with that round count. I don't think the trigger is bad but its very different compared to many of my other guns. Is the trigger on par with my sigs no but those firearms function completely different.

Austrian hunter im with yea on the sights, mine seem to be really faint aroind the 350 round mark. i always bring some cotton swabs to wipe them off.
