FWIW even a 26lb. recoil spring still cycles the weak range ammo, while it makes the real stuff easier on the hands and frame. I have a 24lb. captured RSA from Galloway and the non-captured guide rod + 26lb. spring from Springer (along with their extra strong mag springs, which are a must). It makes for a much better setup. Galloway also makes a flat trigger shoe that they call "Morrigan", an inexpensive trigger upgrade. I'm keeping mine, I like it overall, but not happy with S&W on many levels.

Mine malfunctioned just like you described. Plus it dropped the mags, shot 4 inches low and 4 inches left…and the trigger was nothing to write home about. Customer service blowed me off. I traded for a Springfield xdm elite. Love it. And have two 2008 model M&P 40’s that are great…several revolvers, a 4006… I was a S&W loyalist lol.

Smith & Wesson gave me the blowoff too..My son has 4 10mm guns, he recently bought the XDM Elite 10 mm and loves it, I shot it and loved it too. Wish I would have bought it instead of the M&P. I have 3 other M&Ps and love them..

In 1990 we had to upgrade the springs on our gen3 S&W 10 series (1046 I bought in 94 was my favorite) The LEOs and Tennessee Valley Athority were cracking frames constantly (right around the takedown/slide release/ barrel link pin hole) I think the flat springs are a better system for polymer 10mm. Point is; it has always been a problem and will always be if you shoot proper 10mm. loads.

Thanks for the video. I replaced my stock spring with a Glock 24lb spring as you suggested this morning. Letting the locktite set a day before I give it a test run. Guide rod nut came off easily. Took a couple of tries to get the glock spring compressed enough so I could get the screw/nut started but it's all back together now. Maybe the rain will let up enough tomorrow to give full power underwood a try. Thanks again for the video. Don

I live near Galloway Precision in the carolinas. They have a captured rod and spring very reasonably priced 22 lb that corrected all issues in my 4-in m&p. I can consistently shoot Underwood 135 green 1600 ft per second with no issues

Great video on this issue and possible fix. You make a valid point, that S&W probably did make a judgment call that the #17 was adequate spring is the 4” for roughly ~90% range of the 10mm ammo on the market. But that seems like a fatal flaw, and not understanding the market niche for the 10mm. Because like myself, what I often hear everyone say that wants the 10mm, is to carry it as a side piece Hunting, or in backcountry bear defense. Which means a large majority of the marketing for these pistols is specifically in that upper 10% “Hot” ammo. My two cents and thank you for shedding light on this issue and offering up possible solutions and forum here. 👊🏻

The 10mm Norma Spec cartridges were designed (by men with extensive gunfighting experience) specifically to stop violent human threats. A byproduct is the inherent ability as a trail/bear defensive tool when loaded with hard cast ammunition. Also, the 10mm Norma Spec cartridges are only ~300 fps faster than .40 S&W therefore not as “powerful” as a .357/.41/.44 magnum. What we get are semiautomatic, magazine fed pistols that brings greater firearm capabilities over a revolver. The recurring statement I see online that the 10mm is too powerful for self-defense is ignorance. The 9mm is too anemic, but can be good enough… the .22LR can be good enough as well.

I think the problem is that the mag lips are too short. They need to support more of the case. The recoil is popping the front of the round up from between the lips, so the round gets jammed against the upper hood of the barrel when being stripped from the mag. The heavier recoil spring is reducing the recoil, which reduces the chance of popping the front end of the round up and out.

Galloway Precision makes RSAs for the M&P 10mm. I bought a 22lb. RSA for mine. Unfortunately, I sent the gun to S&W before I discovered the RSA issue as a likely fix. I received my gun back 7 weeks and 5 days after I shipped it to them. All they did was polish the feedramp and chamber (for a FTF issue). They advised the gun runs fine but didn’t advise what load(s) they shot. I did tell them I shoot Norma spec cartridges exclusively… no 10mm lite! The day after receiving my gun from S&W, I dropped it off w my local metro FFL/Gunsmith to have factory standard height tritium sights and an Apex trigger installed (mainly to rid the terrible amount out take-up to the wall). Eight days later, and a flawless mag of Norma spec 180 FMJ and HP through it for fit, function, and idea of reliability, it’s now ready for the range! Keep in mind, previously, the gun would not fire more than 2-4 rds without a FTF. I have the Galloway Precision RSA on standby if needed.

I ordered the Wolff 22 pound for my 4.6 and had no issues with any of the underwood which I used for all my weapons.

I was having the same issue with the last round in the magazine on the 4" model. Based on that and the fact it was flinging brass into another dimension, I came to the same conclusion that the slide velocity was too high. I ordered a 22# drop in recoil spring from Galloway Precision (works in the 4" model) and a holosun 507c with aluminum adaptor plate to add weight to the slide. Havent gotten out to shoot it yet, but if it still does it, I have +10 heavy mag springs bookmarked ready to order.

I have the 4.6 model and have used different brands of ammo including underwood and so far it’s been flawless.

I ordered 3 Springer Precision 11 coil mag springs for my S&W M&P 10mm M2.0 4.6" pistol, as well as Wolff uncaptured 24-pound and 22-pound round recoil springs and a solid steel guide rod (for the M&P 45 M2.0 4.6", fit is perfect). The SP mag springs are definitely a little more stiff than the M&P factory mag springs. I'm currently testing one, and using the stock M&P mag springs in my other two 15-round 10mm mags. Loading that 15th round is tough, and I can't seat the fully loaded 15-round magazine with a round already in the chamber. The Wolff 24-pound recoil spring did the trick for me for about five weeks, through 400 rounds, but then the spring compressed and now doesn't return the slide fully into battery. Really disappointing as I've used Wolff springs for years as replacements in my SIG Sauer P226 and P229 9mm pistols - in them the Wolff springs have lasted for years and thousands of rounds. I then installed the Wolff 22-pound spring, and despite not even shooting with it yet, that spring has now also compressed, just sitting in my safe for a month (magazine no longer goes fully back into battery). WtF!?! Wolff's formerly excellent QC seems to have gone down the toilet. I'm now running a GlockStore 22-pound captured ISMI-type flat spring for the Glock 20 Gen3 on my 4.6" M&P 10mm, using the stock M&P steel recoil guide rod. So far I've had no issues after about 150 rounds. I've been shooting a healthy mix of various 10mm range ammo, as well as Underwood 180 Gr JHP, 200 Gr & 220 Gr FN HCL, and 140 Gr Xtreme Penetrator ammo. I've detected no difference in function between my two 15-round 10mm mags running the stock springs, versus my one 15-round 10mm mag running the SP 11-coil mag spring, other than loading 15+1 stock versus 14+1 SP. I was able to buy an extra M&P 10mm 15-round magazine from BudsGunShop.com for about $44 plus S&H. It appears that for me the only issues have been with the weak factory 17-pound RSA, and now poor quality uncaptured Wolff 24-pound and 22-pound round recoil springs. I'm calling you out, Wolff Gunsprings.

Good video. Thanks.

Malfunctions are more likely without a optic. Since the optic adds mass it slows the slide.

It is an AWESOME gun but figure on spending 200 more to get it to work right and have a nice trigger in it. Maybe S&W needs to make a "Chuck Norris" version with the correct springs for shooting real 10MM loads. Ill get a 22lb spring for my carry ammo and swap out to the little 17lb one for plinking and " 40 Long" loads . Sad that they put their customers through sending it in only to polish stuff up. I have heard of some people saying they never have problem with their 4" but I think they only shoot low power 10mm ammo.

Unfortunately I got a 24lb RSA from wolf for my 4.6” and same exact issues. I got mine in December so it’s a very early model. I’m convinced it’s the mags. The feed lips just seem way too short and weak. It’s way too easy to pop that round up without hardly any movement forward. It also seems like the newer the M&P the less I’m hearing of problems. Makes me think S&W changed something after all the failures. Sent mine off to S&W and really hope they fix it.

Wolff gun springs. Glock 20 22# or 24# recoil spring. 1/4" socket will take off the factory recoil spring screw.

Where can I find these springs?

@@dennis1979gm Are you still running the glock spring? And have you had any issues? I ordered a 24lb spring and guide rod assembly from Gallaway precision that was supposed to be made to work with the 4" m&p 10mm. But unfortunately it is not working out. It binds and drags in the frame. I have been in communication with Gallaway about this issue, to which they are basically pointing fingers elsewhere saying "our part is not the problem". I informed them that i have taken the 24lb spring from my g40 "which is actually a gen3 g20 spring" and installed it on the factory guide rod and it doesn't bind or drag. To which they replied that running a 24lb g20 spring in the 4" m&p would cause damage to the locking block because of the stack height of the compressed spring was too long. Wondering if you have any insight on this? I haven't actually fired the m&p 10mm in this configuration yet

@@dennis1979gm Thanks for the reply, i really appreciate it. And for whomever else might read this comment that is contemplating using a g20 spring, I would say "proceed with caution"............ I am going to run with the particular spring that i currently have. BUT!!! i now understand why Gallaway Precision recommends against it. I am a machinist and have a many precision measuring instruments at my disposal. I just got done taking many measurements multiple times just to verify the amount of clearance, stack height of the compressed spring, actual distance of travel from the recoil lug on the slide to where it would contact the frame which would be it's maximum amount of possible travel. As it turns out "my spring" in "my gun" when fully compressed measures only .015 less than the amount of slide travel that is available. Snd not saying anyone is stupid, but .015 is only fifteen thousandths of an inch, or the thickness of five sheets of notebook paper. That's not much clearance. And given the fact that there are minor fluctuations in dimensions from one batch of parts to the next I'd say that it would in fact be possible due to tolerance stacking that you could end up with a situation where the stack height of a given spring could exceed the amount of travel that you actually have to work with. Resulting in the impact of the slide being transferred to the takedown lever and locking block vs stopping when the recoil lug impacts the steel insert in the frame. Which theoretically could end up damaging the firearm. But as for me and my spring and my gun..........I'm going to roll with it.

If you shoot hot 10mm and don't want to tinker I would say the 4.6 will give you less issues without spring change. The 4.6 also benefits some with a 22# spring and guide rod change. They just simply under sprung them for really hot loads.

my 4in does ftf with 180g never uses 200 or anything else sent it back and 7 weeks later got it back and still the same problem love gun looks good and shoots good when not ftf can't carry and trust my life with this and can't buy to much ammo I used hollow points 180g still jams the ammo is 33 for 50 fmj and 55 for 50 hp why to expensive to be shooting all day

Mine after the recoil spring changes has been very reliable with heavy stout loads. It may be worth a shot if you are having feeding issues. When I had my G20 I also ran a 22# spring in it. Not because it malfunctioned but just to keep it from battering the frame.

Or at least some type of feedback from S&W with a different weight spring from their factory. They should be the one's explaining what's going on with the gun.

why smith and wesson cant fix the problem for you. $700 gun and you have to buy upgraded parts,,,,wtf

I've got a fully assembled 22 lb guide rod for the S&W 10mm 4.6" barrel and it still jams with 180 grain range ammo, plus the clip is dropping out occasionally... So now should I order a 24lb??? With 10mm ammo's power all over the place it might not be a bad idea to have two fully assembled guide rods?
