Message: <blockquote data-quote="Okie4Life" data-source="post: 2220867" data-attributes="member: 17516">While completing the shooting portion of my CCW recently I had a malfunction with my fairly new M&P full size 9mm.  The gun is relatively new with less than 100-rds fired.Here is what happened.  This was the 2nd time out with this particular pistol.I had fired 30-rounds, flawlessly.Reloaded another magazine with 5-rounds.First round went as expected and hit the target.  The gun cycled. Went to pull the trigger for the next round and nothing.  The trigger went all the way back as though the hammer/striker wasn't reset.  Informed the instructor, as this was for the CCW, and went to rack the slide, thinking that would eject the current live round, and reset the hammer/striker.The slide wont move.  The magazine was removed and the gun was inspected by myself and the instructed.  No luck moving the slide.  I finished the course using my wife's .22 (embarassing)After the course was finished the instructor and I both carefully examined the pistol.  The slide is about 1/4" back from the normal closed position and the guide rod seems to stick out the front of the pistol a little to far.  There is only about 1/16" of movement front to back with the slide, with not even the slightest hint of wanting to fully cycle.  It also appears that the live round is not fully seated in the chamber.It was immediately taken to the gunsmith and I am waiting on any word of it's condition/ solutions.Any ideas??Also, would you be able to trust this gun again, or even the same make?  I have has M&P before and loved them, but not quite sure I can trust it to perform when needed.</blockquote>
