A head's up for MP owners

Is the mag release plastic/polymer? If so, I suspect combination of metal mags and plastic mag release, and a lot of wear and tear/mag dropping/re-insert on the demo gun.

Thanks for the info, I just ordered my first M&P.

It has a metal lip in the polymer. Or blade, if you wish. That was worn way down on mine, but like I said, mine is a 2008 model that was a rep demo gun. It's seen a LOT of wear and tear.

I am betting I am good for another 10k or more rounds.

This is good to know. I'm close to 5,000 rounds through my full size M&P and hadn't noticed anything out of the ordinary but it's good to know the potential symptoms and an easy solution (that doesn't require a bunch of troubleshooting). Thanks.

Most welcome. usually, the best source of good info, comes from folks that have been through it before. That is what makes INGO so great.

Don't let it dissuade you. My MP was built in 2008 and was a demo gun for a rep from then until 2011 when I bought it. So it had a LOT of wear and tear on the magazine release. By replacing this free little worn out part, I basically have a gun that operates as well as as brand new one.

Stuff does wear out. I am guessing by the time I get around 20K rounds down the tube, it will be time to start looking for a new MP. Or maybe not.

Still excited to get one, its just good to have the info. I have a feeling it may replace my Beretta as my EDC.
