Very Successful 750 rd. M+P Test with some dirty gun porn.
« on: October 26, 2008, 05:09:49 PM »
Since moving back to Ft. Lauderdale, my wife is still in NC until our house sells. This means I can go to the ranges in the area more ;D, Funny, When I put my ears and eyes on, I can't hear the phone or anything. ::)

So, I decided to conduct a test on my full size M+P .40. I've had the pistol since Feb. 08, and always fired, cleaned, lubed, repeat,.. With no issues.

Over the last week, I decided to eliminate the clean and lube part. Also I fired all different types and brands of .40 ammo.

Winchester Target/Range
Remington
Magtech
CCI Blazer Brass
Hornady
Winchester LE
Cor-Bon
Even some reloaded rounds bought in bag form at a gun show some time back.

The total number of rounds is 750. I have not changed anything on the pistol at all. Its completely stock.
Here's a picture after today's session of the "dirty girl" after 750 rds.


I tried to picture the fouling inside the barrel.


Just for the fun of it, I blazed through the last 100 rds. of Winchester Target/Range ammo as fast as I could, (I"ve never got the barrel that hot), that thing was really toasty.

I saved my final 8 rds. of Cor-Bon JHP's for something I read on a previous thread regarding extreme pistol training. So I ran a new target as far down the range (25yds.) as it would go. This is something very valid as it was was a good post. Here was the result:


Not very scientific, but just a shooter with time away from the wife to get more range time in. I had NO FTF, FTFeed, or FTE. ;D It went bang every single time without even a hiccup.
Jaybethel, you did good on your M+P from MB.
I know I didn't throw sand in it, and drag it behind my car, and stick it elbow deep in mud, but I had the time and ammo, so I thought I'd give it a go. I would have loved to try another 750 rds. but I am like Joe the Plumber, and don't have the "bling" for a 1500 or 2000 rd. test. Plus, I had to save some of my .40 stash for the BHO zombies... ;)

Yes, I know there are the G fans and others, and I know they can probably achieve the same result easily. But I am an M+P fan, and just thought I'd throw my results in the pot, for anyone considering a reliable pistol.

Good post. Now I need a report on the M&P .45.  :)

It looks like the M&P semi-autos will become another hallmark model for S&W in the coming years. Zero bad reports on them at my local range. Hope the Florida move suits y'all well and the Wilmington house sells soon. Lotsa folks (mostly DamnYankees), keep moving down, so it should move soon.

Nice  range report, and you are right, I am really happy with the M&P I've got. I had always been looking at them since they came out, but I had no idea how solid they really are. I am now a fan as well, and if it ever comes to the point where I can afford to get more, I'm in. The 40 I think is what they designed it around, but I would think their 45 would rock as well.

Great guns.  Dependable guns.  I've got the same reliability with mine....never a misfire, failure to feed, fai...heck no failures at all.

And....the trigger, with a little work, breaks cleanly at 4.5 lbs for both.

Now...I need a 40 to round out the family.....
