Question for Smith M&P owners

[drgrant]

more Mas Ayoob bullshit

Worse than that it's Ayoobism twisted into a cocked hat. If anyone bothered to read the whole article he wrote that crap in, they would realize that his commentary is mostly only relevant in the one oddball corner case he is discussing. Perspective (and context) is important. Problem is the Ayoob glue fumes leak out when you speed read it and it speed reads as "reducing trigger pull is bad legally" which is what many do, they don't bother to examine the context in which the assertion was made. Then this edict takes on a life of its own once the gun shop commandos start parroting it.

Really? I thought they had a lifetime warranty regardless of owner/purchaser?

On paper, no, they don't, but in practice, S&W is pretty liberal about repairing anything they made in the recent past. Go back far enough in time though, and you have to pay for repairs on some stuff. Lots of companies are like this. For example, Ruger often does business the same way. I think their paper warranty is crap, but you send them an old crappy MKII and they will rebuild it for basically nothing (other than maybe shipping).

Good to know, thanks for clarifying, Mike.

I picked up my 5th M&P last week. Not a single extraction failure with any of them to date.

Did you finally get a Pro or the new shield?

ETA: I've got 4 1/2 M&P's. They all have some form of trigger job or APEX kit, but the all have stock S&W extractors.

I picked up an M&P 9 at four seasons earlier this week. Just got it back from BEC and will take it to the range next week.

Jrob. I was pretty impressed with the extractor on M&Ps vs. the Glocks when I was replacing our guns. I really don't think that's an area where you should focus your hard earned dollars. Plus, at the armorer school, that was the one part they didn't even bother teaching us to remove because of how tight they claim that the roll pin for it is jammed in there. I don't know if that's really true, just passing on what I was told, and I went to the plant for the class.

I havent heard of the Apex M&P extractor, exactly what problem is it supposed to fix? Compared to other guns I own, my M&P extractor is...well massive. In a way, it reminds me of a Mauser 98 extractor.

Wow that is really impressive. Is the round count into the 1000's?

I have over 10k thru mine and not a single FTE.
