Hopefully you guys can help me out because I'm at wits end with this thing. A brief history of the gun, it was new in box, Smith test fired it 3/17/2014, and it now has 600 rounds through it. Not that it matters but I'm not a guy that only shoots 50 to 100 rounds a year, I shoot IDPA and Steel Shoots every month with my son and practice twice a week. I have 5 other M&P's that have thousands of rounds through them with zero issues. I've installed Apex sears and striker blocks in all my M&P's including the Pro. From the get go the Pro shot 4 inches low at ten yards and had very weak extraction, brass literally landed at your right foot. Installing a shorter Dawson f/o front site fixed the point of impact issue. Which just leaves the weak extraction issue. Next at the advice of some trusted individuals I installed the green recoil spring assembly which made no difference with the extraction issue but did make a huge difference in felt recoil. Now, I just returned from the range after installing one of Apex's extractors and it made a difference for sure, now the brass hits me in the face, so the stock extractor will go back in. Anyone have any ideas or experience a similar issue? I know I can call Smith and send it back for warranty but I would rather that be a last resort.
