Hey All -
This is my 1st post. Yay! Just bought an '04 .40 AS model on Tuesday, went to the range the next day. I put 40 or so rounds through it, and after loading and racking, dropping the clip and adding another rd (10+1), the next time I loaded that magazine, the butt plate broke during firing, had a misfeed and 1 round dropped out of the busted mag. I don't know if this has any bearing on why the butt plates tend to break, the weapon was used and it was previously the shop owner's. He said he hadn't put more than 200 rounds through it and it showed; it was pristine. The factory mags had the light blue followers in them. Just an FYI. S&W is sending out 2 new mags, both 12 rd. Pretty sweet gun so far...
