The Darlin' Bride 'n I went out back, she to get reacquainted with her LC9S, me to get some break-in time on the M&P9 PC...This is the second target up, she had not taken the Ruger out in over a year and considering the recent flattening of the earth now wants to actually carry. I only put one mag into this target, the bulk was her getting jiggy with the sights. I'll let you guys specalate as to who made that nice
intentional circle around the boolz-eye...This all @ +/-25'.

Here is where some input is welcome: The M&P, while as accurate a firearm I've ever had the pleasure, has an ejection issue, mainly a WEAK ejection issue: She's dropping casings at my feet. Yes, we're shooting reman, Freedom Munitions 115 grain ball ammo, but while my Shield and the Darlin' Bride's Ruger spits them a good 10-15 feet, the full-size actually had a couple stovepipe incidents through about a hundred rounds.
This is my first full-size poly-frame pistol, I'm wondering if it's the nature of the beast or if it simply wants a heavier load or perhaps a weak spring got through the process. I'd rather not believe that, the Performance Center is supposed to be above that substandard component stuff...
..I have some 124 grain, same brand, reman as well. Gonna try it next. When it stops raining. Here at Camp Granada...
My defensive loads are all 124 and 147, some +P, ALL branded and new loads. But I'm loathe to use them for anything but defensive because of the current scant market and increasing supply/demand issues.
Any thoughts?
