Tampa-XD45 Posted November 16, 2023 Share Posted November 16, 2023 After 10 years my M&P R8 has a new problem where the cylinder release latch is sticking to the point where you can't open the cylinder. It appears that the bolt is pinching against the hammer. Check out the wear marks. I guess I can stone the bolt and/or hammer. Is this a common problem with N frames?

Bill Sahlberg Posted November 16, 2023 Share Posted November 16, 2023 Never had this trouble with my competition 627s since 1996, but my guns were never as dirty as these pix! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DukeSoprano Posted November 16, 2023 Share Posted November 16, 2023 Where is the spring on the wishbone for the lock? Are you sure the wishbone isnt moving forward a bit and allowing the lock to contact the hammer? Or allowing the lock to engage? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pskys2 Posted November 16, 2023 Share Posted November 16, 2023 Clean it thoroughly then try a side plate shim from ron powers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
