Just picked up a used M&P9C that looks in almost perfect shape....owner says he purchased last November but date code and serial indicate a May/June 08' born on date...new "old" stock??
1) I have heard earlier M&P's like this should have the striker replaced with the newer "silver" assembly found in post-2010 M&P's. Is this true?
2) The take town lever - it does NOT have the little tab on it when you remove it like newer models. It twists up and the comes out. I have also found that once the slide is reattached after cleaning and held in place by the slide stop...and I gently release the slide (not under power but controlled) the take down lever "snaps" into the up position...Is this supposed to happen? On my Shield I had to rotate the lever back...
3) The trigger is VERY smooth....
4) It does NOT have the yellow sear level newer M&P's have. I simply lock slide back, rotate take down lever, pull trigger (like a Glock) and remove slide
Seems to be in 98 or 99% cosmetic/wear categories....Did I find an old M&P in really good shape? Any input would be appreciated....
