They both seemed to like their platforms quite a lot. However, both of them had magazine issues where the feed lips would bend inward or outward causing them to have to straighten them out via leatherman everyone few courses of fire.
This range has caused issues for me personally with my baseplates before, but never feed lips. I had one of my VP9 mags go in pieces, even after resetting the baseplate after each string of fire. I've also seen it sheer off a 226 retaining pin for the mag, causing it to be a paperweight.
Normal. So normal in one place that they had recruits take a carpet square or their coats onto the range for the mags to fall on.
Malfunctions: I didn't see anyone have any malfunctions today with somewhere around 4k rounds fired total on that range. However, two weeks ago I attended another little pistol qual with a few guys doing the IDPA qualification at work and someone's M&P went down. The ammo we use at this training facility is known to have hard primers and leave your gun with all sorts of nice gold flakes all over the place. He had an M&P PRO series 9mm. I ran into him a few days ago and he said he ended up replacing the firing pin and noted that he had around 20k rounds on the original.
Some green frang products I use have a higher failure rate than leaded primers, esp in striker fired pistols.
On the M&P striker, here's a snapshot of parts replacement schedule for the M&P 9/40, published in the armorers manual:
every 5k- replace slide stop, trigger return spring, RSA, coil pins, magazine spring and follower
every 10k- replace trigger bar assembly, striker assembly
every 20k- replace locking block, takedown lever and retaining wire, magazine catch, striker block, spring, and spacer, ejector
