M&P.40 FTF

[NU9MM]

If the extractor is stuck/sticky it may not allow the rim to slip under and against the breech face, resulting in a nose high feed jam. But once the case is in there, that extractor is a tight mofo, and "extraction" from the chamber is no prob Bob. Sometimes (rarely) erratic ejection can be a problem if the extractor is holding the rim too tight when the ejector strikes the case head.

If you can lock slide back and work a case into position against the breech face, it'll probably chamber that round when you release slide. And extract it when fired.

Ok so is the extractor supposed to some or slight movement when pressing on it with the slide open and or closed? Mine has zero movement whether the slide is open or closed.

I just wanna thank everybody for all the helpful informative information. It's greatly appreciated.

I'd take the slide off the gun, take the extractor out and clean up extractor, spring, plunger and tunnel, and put back together before doing one more dern thing.

Well finally got time to tear down the slide. The extractor and everything around it was very clean though I still brushed it out and wiped everything down. Still have the FTF issues. Next move call S&W and send it to them. Even had an armorer at the indoor range I go to take it out and shoot it. He said this is the craziest thing he's seen. Then it's going bye bye!

Did you try the slo mo video?

That's all I have left to suggest.

Not yet. I decided to just field strip it and do a through cleaning and oiling.

Did you remove extractor? That is a step beyond field stripping.

Yes, I did and it was clean, but just for good measure. I brushed it out wiped everything down. I was expecting to see a lot of buildup in there, but nothing it was clean.

Is this an m&p 2.0 or 1.0? It might matter...

1.0 After scrubbing the heck out of the slide rails and slide. I took it to a private piece of property and it chambers 5 rd rounds of both CCI Blazer and Sellier Bellot.
