FireKnife Posted October 5, 2014 Report Share Posted October 5, 2014 Mine crapped out again. The nozzle is rough as a badgers and doesn't return unless forced Huh, mines still tanking along. Doing anything odd to it? 'FireKnife' Quote Link to post Share on other sites
uscmCorps Posted October 5, 2014 Report Share Posted October 5, 2014 I have noticed that after about 15 to 20 reps of dry firing, the magazine's follower started to get chewed up a little. So I'm now using the included spacer that allows you to dry fire without holding down the slide release. Considering how snappy this gun is, I am really curious to see how the slide holds up over time. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
thatguy404 Posted October 5, 2014 Report Share Posted October 5, 2014 Nothing weird to it at all. Just crappy luck I guess. Will have to strip it and see what's occurring. Did anyone have a full takedown: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
icolater Posted October 5, 2014 Report Share Posted October 5, 2014 So the VFC m&p is better then. Ok cheers guys. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
starburst Posted October 5, 2014 Report Share Posted October 5, 2014 I think its too early to say on that, most people on here seemed to get them this week and I imagine sime may be putting them through their paces at a skirmish as we speak. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
thatguy404 Posted October 5, 2014 Report Share Posted October 5, 2014 Had mine a while and yeah a few niggles but it's an incredible performer. The nozzle I've just attacked with a bit of silicone and it's returning as it should Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FireKnife Posted October 5, 2014 Report Share Posted October 5, 2014 The nozzle I've just attacked with a bit of silicone and it's returning as it should Did you get a nice big puff of gas before the nozzle started sticking like a sod? If so then lubing it and jacking it a bit will help as it is something that I have seen quite a bit when I start using any pistol too hard and fast. Either way I just shot mine on some Ultra with the little slide catch blockers that TM give you with pistol now. I know it feeds fine and the blowback does seem rather powerful once it gets going, again quite close to my 1911s and less like a Glock. As for VFC over TM well I don't think there are that many VFC owners on here, a few but not many. As for the TM I am sure I for one will be getting it out and about once my third mag turns up.

thatguy404 Posted October 5, 2014 Report Share Posted October 5, 2014 I don't seem to recall a big puff of gas. Was playing an indoor night game in total darkness mind... As above to early to say is the vfc is Better. Just need some UK stockists of the magazine's Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mrsevenstars Posted October 6, 2014 Report Share Posted October 6, 2014 Ive been popping through mags worths on green for a couple weeks now and havent had a single problem other than a couple light strikes on the first couple shots per mag after sitting a while after loaded. Mind you the temp here has been a constant 90 degrees so it may be a bit too high for the OEM hammer spring. I also have a VFC m&p9 and noticed it light strikes on green in warm environment also but the difference is the vfc has to be manually cycled until it starts chugging away while the TM the cycles "softer" until ideal pressure then really blows back at full speed. None of mine have locked up like thatguy404s on plastic and detonator slides. Has anyone taken it down to see if hammer springs are similar to TM glock? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
renegadecow Posted October 6, 2014 Report Share Posted October 6, 2014 Sounds more like gummy o-rings than a weak hammer spring. My 5-7 used to do that until I swapped them out. If it were weak it would never open. If gummy, volumetric flow is decreased from the odd shape the o-ring has taken until it hardens back up from the decreased temperature after a few shots.

mrsevenstars Posted October 6, 2014 Report Share Posted October 6, 2014 Gummy o-rings in the valve? Hmm never thought of that. What did you change them out with? Nitrile? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FireKnife Posted October 6, 2014 Report Share Posted October 6, 2014 While had another few clacks away with mine and the gun seems to be fine, nothing looks out of place at all. But then I seem to have some stupid affinity with TM pistols, seriously. I never seem to get matching issues to what other people get. Saying that if my M&P third magazine arrives by tomorrow then I might take it to a Tuesday night indoor event and see how it goes, as it will easily see a couple hundred rounds at this place.

renegadecow Posted October 6, 2014 Report Share Posted October 6, 2014 (edited) Nitrile aka buna-n 70 durometer. Just the main one needs switching. Edited October 6, 2014 by renegadecow Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DeltaZero Posted October 6, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 6, 2014 Does anyone know if this will fit in holsters designed for a RS M&P9?? I've got a Safariland in my cart but don't want the hassle of shipping it across from the states to find it wont fit! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
uscmCorps Posted October 6, 2014 Report Share Posted October 6, 2014 The TM M&P9 fits perfectly in all my RS M&P kydex holsters. Safariland tends to be a looser fit so u should be good to go. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DeltaZero Posted October 6, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 6, 2014 Awesome! Thanks a lot chap! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Inspector Posted October 7, 2014 Report Share Posted October 7, 2014 Just make sure with the holster that it will accommodate the M&P with the thumb safety. Unless you remove it some holsters don't have the clearance for it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DeltaZero Posted October 7, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2014 (edited) It's removed already! Managed to find a guy who will replicate the safariland in Kydex form for me anyway as I already have with my HiCapa so no need to worry now!

FireKnife Posted October 8, 2014 Report Share Posted October 8, 2014 Got my third magazine, just as a local shop starts stocking the gun and makes anyway . Will have to get a chance to see what indoor sites are open and give it a little test run. 'FireKnife' Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ryaw Posted October 10, 2014 Report Share Posted October 10, 2014 I'm curious as to what people's opinions are as to how this compares to the new TM HK45 in terms of kick, feel and overall performance? (I've yet to hold or shoot either). I'm very happy with my TM Glock 17 Custom, as I love the thumb rest. Also very happy with my TM Sig P226 E2, should anybody care to compare. Fireknife, I see you have listed the E2 ahead of the M&P9.....why? I'm still keen to try an XDM too. Cheers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Im going space Posted October 10, 2014 Report Share Posted October 10, 2014 (edited) i will corner Thatguy404 next time he is on site and do a short video if time permits. (of the HK vs M&P) Edited October 10, 2014 by Im going space 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FireKnife Posted October 10, 2014 Report Share Posted October 10, 2014 I have sent Ryaw a short PM about trying the M&P. As for the comparison I would say the kick on the M&P9 is not weaker but due to the designs of the two guns, high beavertailed striker over a hammer fired gun with a bigger back end, the M&P9 is easier to control. I have put the M&P9 below the P226 E2 as the ergonomics of the E2 felt better to me. When a gun is near enough equal to another in terms of performance my list then changes to personal little things to seperate them apart from each other. The E2 just fit me a touch better and I like little things about it but on a flat performance scale I would say they are near enough the same. Also speaking of XDMs, should have mine on order next week so can do a straight up comparison then if anyone wants one? 'FireKnife' Quote Link to post Share on other sites
starburst Posted October 10, 2014 Report Share Posted October 10, 2014 Has anyone tried to mount a light to their M&P yet? I am looking for one at the moment for use (right now) on my Marui Glock 17 but will be used on an M&P when I get one later, seen and read a couple of reviewers mention a tight fit with real accessories and wobbly fit with copies and wondered if anyone had given it a go with theirs? Also, and a bit wierder, how do the magazines for the M&P stack up dimensions wise to other models? I have a Fobus magazine carrier (one of the paddle ones) which caried PX4 magazines nice and snugly but are far too small for the Glock. I am buying a new set for the Glock but wondered if there was a point keeping the old one to try with the M&P when the time comes or if they are sized more like the fatter Glock magazines?
