Yeah I thought maybe it was supposed to be like that but I did some research online and also tried out 3 different ones in the store and found out it's not supposed to be like that. I bought mine for a backup duty gun so I want it working flawlessly.I agree, but I can't immediately call it a defect. I've only put 50 rounds through mine and can't speak to whether this is simply a breakin issue or not.
I was actually hoping the OP had information to educate me on this specific firearm. I do know that this issue WAS a breakin issue with my Kel Tec.
I tried getting use to it and just couldn't. But honestly, when you pay for something like that, you shouldn't have to get used to something that isn't functioning properly. Yes, even though it's a BUG, it came with 2 mags so I'm carrying the extra. I'm the type person that, if it could help save my life, it ain't gonna just sit on the dresser at the house. And we just got new exterior tactical vests with all the pockets so storage isn't an issue. But I tried everything I could short of drop kicking this thing and the mag still wouldn't go in. I whacked the butt of the gun on the table a few hard time and it still wouldn't go. If it comes back and hasn't been fixed, I'm probably gonna blow up on somebody on the phone. Especially reading all this about how they're notorious for doing that sort of thing.Mine was a simple in/out of mags a few times (like with most firearms I own I go though some slow to fast drills on getting mags in/out/etc) IE getting used to it.
Once the mag is in - and you shoot.. does it go bang?
if its a BUG - are you gonna carry extra mags for it? or use the 6+1 as last resort? if your only gonna have the single mag for it - why would putting it in cause an issue? does it go in with a bit more shove? jw.. I know when I first got my Bodyguard - the mag release spring was rather stiff for mag release (not nearly as stiff as XDm though) but eh - after a few mag drop tests (mag in, then mag drop / repeat a few times)
Cause all guns are different - not like same line different - but like my 92FS doesn't have same set up as my XDm kinda different.
other then that idk - Ive not had any issues with firearms recently - though I did have an issue with a Kel-tec Sub 9 back in the day... but I no longer have that. It was not a major issue - but the butt piece would come off completely because the "glue" that glued the plastic to the metal failed.. but only when the retaining pin was removed - otherwise it was fine.
Classier ways to solve problems with one of the largest gun manufacturers in the world? Yeah, maybe if you're one of the CEOs. Little old me ain't solving any problems, even by social media. I've called multiple times, about to call again. They act like they couldn't give 2 sh!ts if I get my gun back in a timely manner, get it back fixed, or hell even get it back.S&W has done fantastic work on several pre-lock revolvers, and turnaround was invariably much quicker than I expected. In the unlikely event I have a problem with them in the future, the last thing I would do is to get involved in the trendy howls of outrage on social media. There are classier and more effective ways to solve problems.
In my situation, nobody at S&W seemed to be talking to each other either.Just got off the phone with the lovely folks down at S&W and now I'm even more confused. This guys says he's not seeing where there were ever any issues with FFL information, and he's showing that it isn't even in the shipping department yet, that the final repairs were done on it today, it was shot, and that it should be doing out any day down.
