I've had my M&P 40 for about 3 years now. No barrel dimples, blue recoil spring. Its been soft shooting and 100% reliable, using mostly Tula.
A few months ago, I had a ruptured case (Tula-oops) and sent the gun to S&W to have them look it over to ensure its safe/not damaged.
I got the gun back, and it has a green spring-used in the past only for the .357sig M&P. Using American Eagle red-boxed fmj's, I had two failure to feeds. I was slightly limp wristing(relaxed - going for max accuracy) but ive had a looser grip on the gun in the past with no issues. On top of that, the gun felt like it had way more recoil than I remember, but it may just be that I hadn't shot for a while. The spring is supposed to be an upgrade, but may need a break-in(maybe I need a break in period?).
Im going to video tape it at 120 fps (hopefully tomorrow-green spring) and compare it to past vids(blue spring). Anyone have experience with both recoil springs?
I may even get a blue spring and try them back to back.
Update. The ae crap is less accurate than Tula. Maybe that was why the FTfs previously. No malfs today, got video and will post tonight.
Who makes decently accurate fmj for a fair price? I don't want to waste $ on hps.
