No. I have current production M&P's (9mm and 40) and they have a solid pin. Current 45 M&P's have a coil pin.
S&W says that they will eventually put coil roll pins in everything. For right now though, they are not.Perhaps the roll pin was the replacement for the early solid pins, now they've gone back to solid pins as the newest thing?
Look at you scopin out my website for M&P parts! Just for that, I am going post a pic of the new GEN 5 strikers. S&W says that these are good for 70,000 dry fires!For me the most vexing issue for the M&P has been striker breakage. When I get home, I'll post a pic of my first gen striker that went kablammo after many thousands of dry fires (and a few thousand live fires as well). I ASSume it's a first gen striker, because I ASSume I have a first gen gun. If someone has pics of all of the generations of strikers (I saw Gen 5 on grtactical.com today!) I'd love to see them. Especially if anyone knows if/how S&W has changed the manufacturing process for that particular part. AFAIK, it started out as a MIM component without any sort of coating, but a black finish. The newest pics I've seen are either coated with a glossier finish or are made of a different material.
This is due to the trigger setup. Install an APEX sear and it is gone.The other big issue I have with box-stock M&Ps is the weird bump I get when dry firing them. It takes significant effort with a new gun to hold the front sight steady. Admittedly my sample size is small (4 guns) but every one, including a NIB Pro, has a bump when the striker lets go. Not being the most savvy person in the world, I want to put it on overtravel, but I'm not 100% sure that's what's doing it. This has sorted itself out on my most used gun, so I'm fairly certain it's a gun thing and not a me thing.
