Thanks, Murphy...

[mmchambers06]

Shot TDSA's oustanding AP1 class this weekend. More on that later...

Got home about an hour ago. Cleaned/lubed my M&P. Reassembled and work the action. Hear a snap and hear something small hit the floor. Work the action, squeeze the trigger -- nothing.

Striker is broke clean off at the joint. It happened literally the next time I cocked the gun after shooting the class. Thanks for waiting until I got home, Mr. Murphy, ya bastard.



Carry on.

You bet! You can have the old striker for $50.

Much better now than when you most needed though.

lol... you're killin me... lemme know how it turns out with s&w... just wondering what their turn around is to fix it... it sure would suck if they messed up that purdy slide.

Have you dry fired it much without snap caps?

M&Ps are known to break strikers during dry fire without snap caps. I think S&W is on their 5th or 6th striker revision to fix this problem. Supposedly the current design tested to 70,000 dryfires without breaking.

From what I have read there haven't been any strikers break during live fire.

Isn't that class a BLAST!!!!

Even in 90+ degree heat it was worth every penny I spent.

Want to learn how to drive a rifle? I can't recommend their Urban Rifle/Tac Carbine 1 enough. It mad a huge difference in my rifle skills.

TDSA is an outstanding group to train with.

They're sending me a new striker, no questions asked, but I'm ordering one from MidwayUSA anyways. BOTH are backordered. That's why I own two M&Ps, two ARs, etc. Two is one, one is none.

I've probably dry fired it 500 times. Put about 2,000 rounds through it total, probably had ~1,000 or less down it before it came into my possession. So not a lot, really...I like it enough to keep an extra striker or two on hand.

I'm definitely signing up for the next one!

Interesting. I've gotta have close to 5000 through my Pro and it hasn't broken yet. Now I'm off to order a replacement....
