Hey guys - just coming here for an opinion.
I had my M&P out at the range this evening and I had a strange thing happen. Fired a round, bang, slide cycles - pull the trigger and . . . nothing. I thought I might have noticed this before, but at the time I was shooting a match and thought I might not have a mag seated so I did a tap-rack-bang and kept moving. This time though, I was shooting slow fire, and know for sure that the gun basically just didn't cock after a shot was fired.
I looked online regarding this and noticed that it has occurred with M&P's before (called "Dead trigger"), but usually ones with modified trigger/sear components. My gun is dead stock except for a recoil spring/guide rod (which I don't think would have any bearing on this). Also there was supposed to be a fix that took care of this issue on guns made after October 2010. Going by similar serial numbers my gun should have been made around December 2010.
So essentially, think this might have happened twice (I've got right at 600 rounds through the gun now), but can only say with absolute certainty that it happened once.
Should I go ahead and call S&W about this now or wait to see if it happens again? (ie, might this have just been a fluke?)
