Shouldn't firing pins be sprng-loaded so the pin is recesed unless hit by the hammer?G.A. Heath wrote:I saw an M&P slam fire when the firing pin channel was dirty. What happened was the owner had a habit of oiling the firing pin channel and after enough time oil and residue built up causing the firing pin the hang a little forward despite the firing pin block. I suspect something similar happened here, so my belief is that either the firearm is defective or the firearm was improperly maintained.

Re: SLAM FIRE?
Modern firearms shoould not do "Slam fire" Such discharge when no trigger is pulled is a defect. The firearm is simply defective.
