Firearm BS thread

Sorry about my previous post, never leave TW on the laptop with immature co-workers around.

 

Lol noob

 

I guess I'll toss a pic or two into the mix. First is my camp gun, a Remington 870 Desert Tactical. Second is a good friends M1919 machine gun mounted on a Ford GPW.

 

I learned today that if you slam a m&p mag in with some force it comes apart and you'll find all 9 rounds on the ground...

 

was it one of the ones it came with or an aftermarket mag? sucks either way but i wouldnt feel as bad if it was an aftermarket one.

 

that's classified as full auto fire in Cali. It doesnt matter if you shoot or throw bullets, one at a time bro.

 

well that sucks, maybe hit them up on warranty?

 

I'm going to update the base plate

 

thats no good. i haven't had this problem on any either of mine. were you trying the smack the mag in so it chambers a round at the same time?

 

Did the baseplate come off?

 

This is a good habit to have. Any firearm that requires that you gently seat a magazine for fear of explosive self destruction isn't a firearm you should own IMHO.

 

I was taught to slam all magazines to be sure. Found a fix. Super glue lol.

 

Wait, so tapping the mag isn't a standard practice? I was taught that anytime you load a fresh mag you give it a tap to make sure it seats right.

 

I wouldn't trust it. Magazine reliability is kind if important for overall reliability and I don't trust super glue all that much especially in situations where there will be jarring impact as this is the type of thing that likes to make super glue fail more than direct pressure.

 

Anyone have an S&W 500? Thoughts?

 

I think you misunderstood what I said. I was reaffirming that having to baby a magazine isn't a solution to this problem.

 

I wasn't, After i learned how to operate a semi-auto (from videos) I just seemed to do it naturally.
My Dad (revolver/lever/bolt gun, guy) doesn't like it when I slam the mags in our (very few) semi-autos, he does use a good bit more force on his AR than his pistol though.

 

Well anyways here's my new m&p had it for a month now. Not bad... Different feel to my glocks. Definitely going with the apex trigger.

Kinda wish I paid 150 more to get the CORE.

 

Ah, that's true. Ill buy the 10-8 base plates then when they come back in stock.

 

Seating a magazine home with a firm & position motion is never a bad thing... unless you have inferior magazines. This is the best way to assure that your magazine is properly engaged and if you have a malf the 'tap, rack, bang!' philosophy backs this practice up. You don't want to worry about being 'too aggressive' in times of stress as you likely will be default anyway.
