CRAP -- Need M&P parts ASAP!

[John_Wayne777]

Well joy of joys, I was breaking my M&P down to clean it tonight and I pulled the trigger to disassemble....and damned if the thing didn't snap the striker. Is this a common problem?

So I head over to Brownells.com...and they're out of stock on them.

Anybody know where I can get a couple of friggin' striker assemblies post haste? I've been planning to use this pistol at the Vickers low-light class on November 9th.

Good luck, midway is out and the other sites I checked said they have been on back order for 2 months from S&W.

M&Ps don't seem to be as tolerant of dry firing as Glocks are. I always use the takedown lever and I always dry fire with snap caps to avoid such calamities.

Smith's have a lifetime warranty. Call them up.

[Don Robison]

It says to call to see if it's in stock. Might be worth a try.

Tim,
I sent you a PM.

Robb

I have one if you need it. If Robb doesn't have one PM me and let me know if you want me to get it to you.

Robb is hooking me up.

I appreciate the help!

I've heard Robb mention needing a new striker before, but I figured that was more of a function of the fact that he practices like a madman to keep in competition shape.

I've dry fired, but not very much....well, at least not in my opinion.

Shows how much my opinion is worth, I guess.

I've also got some gear on the way to let me use my Beretta 92s as backups to the M&P, so one way or another I won't be standing on the line with just my you-know-what in my hands.

It never fails....right before I'm supposed to actually use my weapons for something serious they crap the bed on me. And people wonder why I pack a backup....

M&P 9c firing pin broke

More common than I thought, apparently.

Time to order some snapcaps.

EDIT -- Does anyone know for sure if what is mentioned in that 10-8 thread is true? Has S&W really beefed up the strikers on these things?
