Have you ever put a slide on crooked? I know it sounds silly, but I got overly confident and put the slide on a too quick and got the slide jammed in a really weird way. I had to smack it with my palm some to get it loose (not saying this is the correct way). I think I smudged some polymer when I did it 
, BUT the gun has been %100 functional since!
Has anyone else done this? Just curious.
No. Iām very deliberate about it.
Was it a Glock? 
Nah, he likes M&Ps too much.
Hey I like to get reliability for $100 less than a Glock with steal sights 
yeah, been there, done that. Sometimes the fix is easy, sometimes itās a āyoudumassā moment. Worst slide issue I had was on a ceracoted P80 G21 clone. Even putting the slide on properly meant using a mallet to get it off. Ended up grinding the rails a bit, lots of scotch brite and a wetstoneā¦finally got her to run, and now Iāve got the first mag or two with back-to -battery issues, fixed with a tap of the thumb, then sheās warmed up and fine.
Got a few glocks, and 5 P80ās among a few other pistols. Bought a .45 M&P 2.0C, 'cuz it was cheap, and to be honest, if Iād bought an M&P first, Iād have more of them. Good gun, only thing I donāt like is the angled slide, as itās hard to use my sight tool onā¦and that front sightā¦I think itās welded on 
Glad Iām not alone 
.
The M&P sights are a pain. I just pay my local gunsmith since Iād rather hand him $40 than cuss and damage my sights trying to get them perfectly aligned .
I seem to have a preference to drive myself nuts doing projects I perhaps would have been better off handing to others. OTOH, just dealt with a paint crew who took 6 weeks to do a 10 day job, and only did half of it before I let them know time was upā¦and then thereās that blissful feeling of āunscrewing upā a project
