Issue with my MP9.

[GIGGIDY]

I'm interested as well, I've been meaning to pick up an extra striker assem. for a while now. It will be good to know if Charlton will ship just the striker.



Make sure you join up at mp-pistol.com, really good info on hand.

If you order one as a part, they'll ship it (if it's in stock) - that's how I got mine (well actually I walked in and bought it) no problem. My offer still stands, I picked up a couple.

I can't remember what I paid for recoil springs - I remember it was reasonable, considering it was the whole assembly, as far as barrels go, you'd have to call them, I would doubt that's a regular stock item though.

PS I do not have M&P strikers for sale, if I did they would be posted on the EE.

Got her back today, can't wait to test it out.

The new one is black, old one was silver guess the new one is better?

Hope this one lasts me a good amount of time.

Thats fast Sir Jake, 9 days (?) for warrenty repair!

All told what did it cost (if any) and how long from when you shipped it to when you got it back?

Cheers!

 

[Sir Jake]

I dropped it off in Vancouver, they shipped it over to Victoria.

Turns out it was still under warranty so I was lucky.

I can see recoil springs but a striker that only lasts 8000 rounds . that is way too short a service life

 

[GIGGIDY]

As stated already, there is a well documented issue with M&P strikers, S&W has improved the design since the issue was found. Normally it presents itself with large amounts of dry firing

Another reason why the M&P isn't going to be widely adopted for service/duty...

 

[Sir Jake]

It was a known issue with the first batch they made, the casting had an issue.

New striker looks much better already.
Guns working like a champ again.

Really, the M&P is already carried by more police officers in the US and elsewhere than there are police in Canada. It's also becoming common in several parts of Canada. I guess that's not "widely" enough for you. The early M&P's were subject to a few issues - mag releases, and strikers (usually the other end though) just as the early Glocks had issues with trigger return springs and frame rails. Later issues with the M&P have included poorly finished chambers, while Glocks had later issues with striker pumping, and going boom when not properly cared for. The reality is that there is NO perfect machine, get over it. 9 days is pretty impressive for any warranty.

Sir Jake, what's your Revision code?? a silver striker is very, very early.

 

[Sir Jake]

Rev. N

 

[SMITH45]

Smith&Wesson want the M&P to become their bead & butter gun as was the old M&P rev. They , like us, check all our forum and can take step to adjust and fix the problem. I carry the M&P every day at work, combat accurate, fast,easy action. Nothing to complain about. And like all inherent mechanical device, they all have there flaw.

At least, S&W is correcting them and back there gun warranty.

Any way to tell which issue I would have and which issues have the striker weakness?

Rev. N

Interesting, Rev N was the first truly 'stable' (as computer geeks would say) Revision. My Rev N came with a black striker. Now that you have the new striker you shouldn't have any issues, I'm way past the "replace by" mileage with mine and haven't had any issues. Todd Green ran the the whole 60,000 round toture test on one striker, which is why I'm not replacing mine 'til it stops going bang.

The revision is inside the dust cover, underneath where the recoil spring sits when the gun is assembled, it can be a letter (earlier), or simply a series of dots (later). Most of the issues with M&P's happened before Rev N. This is the first time I've heard of the early type striker in a Rev N. If you have a dot pattern M&P with magazines fitted with Gray followers, you're good to go with every type of ammo known to mankind.

Thanks. That's good to know.

 

[Sir Jake]

Took the gun out again today, had a pretty good time. Ended up shooting my two M213's much more as my friend liked it better. For some reason he could not aim with my mp9 but hit everything with the m213.

This is a photo from the Net. If your striker looks like the one on the left(new), you should be OK.
