Yeah, don't get the WE M&P, I have two mates who got one each in the same week and they both broke within a week of each other, after barely 2 months of ownership, in the exact same way.
Yeah I remember u saying it was the barrel or something? Dissapointing- if tm ever release theirs after 4 years I'll have to go for that (+ an aftermarket slide of course)
Yeah, the outer barrel had a lug snap off stopping it from cycling properly. The hammer sear also wears out insanely fast, you have to keep filing a part of it down so that the slide will still catch on it. My mate Joes' has now been reduced to a paper weight.
Ah that sucks, its quite possibly my favourite gun, aesthetically speaking at least. I imagine the compact if much the same as well then. Might have to look at the stark arms one further down the line, shame they don't do the full size model
I guess that's WE tech though. Some great products with unfinished ones sprinkled in between.
It wouldn't be so bad if there were upgrade parts available, but I don't think anyone really expects to have to look after and replace the parts in a pistol to the same extent you have to in a gas rifle, but that's what the M&P is more comparable to.
The mags are very good though, it's a shame they don't work in any other guns.
