Who knows how many’s thousands upon thousands of rounds has been shot thru this gun. The disconnector and or portion of the slide it contacts have worn so much it will not release the trigger bar during the firing cycle. Both contact points are shinny and smooth. Allowing the hammer to follow the slide as it goes into battery. I can get it to work if I press the slide to the right while working the slide. Wonder if s&w has another disconnector for me to swap out?

I’m curious if this is the M&P Compact 22 LR manufactured by S&W or the Umarex imported S&W M&P 22 full size. If it is the compact S&W might fix it since a safety issue. If it is the imported Umarex model that was manufactured by Walther IIRC you might be directed to either U or W for repair.

I talked to smith and they wont get me a disconnector. said i had to send the whole gun in. Not doing that. I can get a disconnector from Numrich for $5. now im wondering if i can massage the rails in a bit on the slide to help it make contact. |

Buy some parts that have to be fitted, get a dremel tool and have at it...

Looks like you might need more than just a disconnector, looks like the slide needs to be replaced too. I would send back to S&W.

I got nothing about repair , but am slightly envious of being able to shoot enough to flat-ass wear out a pistol.
WAY TO GO !!!!! |

Assuming they'll give you shipping label, why not send it in? A lot of the polymer frame .22 pistols seem to be built on the (reasonable) assumption that most gun owners shoot their guns very rarely. This isn't the first time I've seen a polymer frame .22 pistol die in the hands of an owner who actually shoots a lot. My cousin just killed a Ruger SR22 after years of heavy range use. I'd send it in. Who knows what else might be going on. You might actually get a signficantly refurbished gun back. As an aside, I, as the third owner, managed to break a Ruger Mark II after decades of heavy range use by all owners. Ruger sent me a label, I shipped it to them, they fixed the mainspring retaining bolt that had sheared off, and went ahead and replaced my heavily worn extractor and replaced all the springs. No charge to me, and my Mark II is ready for 25 more years of shooting. |

IF it were mine, I would just send it back to S&W regardless if they paid for the shipping or not. That gun looks like it needs a factory thorough rebuild but probably just cheaper for S&W to replace it. I am betting S&W would like to examine it to get a better idea what is happening with high round count guns.
but you do you  |

More than likely you will have in back in 2 weeks or less. It will be a new gun. But, many gun owners gripe when their guns, with a lifetime warranty, break. A lot of them say something like "I sold it at a loss" or "I just threw it in the back of the safe.". I've used the warranty service of S&W and Ruger more than I can remember. But as Makarov said: You do you. |

OP here
I got a new disconnector installed and its better. Went from every other round failures to a failure every few mags. i will prob send it in eventually. It just such a pain cause i have to pull the aftermarket front site, rear adapter with red dot. if they replace the slide i wanted to make sure i got those back. I like to try to fix things myself to learn how things work. |

Sig pulled that on me as well. Shot my mosquito so much the pot metal slide developed a crack from the dust cover up. I had to pay to fix, even after calling them out on the "to hell and back" claim.

My first Ruger .22 auto pistol had thousands of rounds through it.
Never a hiccup... At the time, I was first starting to shoot competition, and K-mart was selling CCI mini-mags for a dollar per 100 round box, I would buy 5000 rounds at the time. Just a guess, but I would say Bill Ruger had a better idea how to build a .22 auto, than S&W does today. |

Called S&W back today to discuss. CS rep told me that in the notes, it said the frame was cracked and had to go to a diff department for frame repair. remember this is a polymer gun with a fire control group dropped it. there are no cracks in anything. i tried to tell the rep that by she kept interrupting me. telling me to send it back. im done with them. i went in the shop and put the slide in a vice to tighten up the rear of the slide where it would contact the disconector. it took alot of slop out of it. i ran 5 mags thru it of good ammo and it was 95%. im good with that got a range toy.
ill still pick up the 322 one day as my primary rimfire trainer when i find a deal on one. |
