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. Iâm 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 itâs a âyoudumassâ 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 wetstoneâŠfinally got her to run, and now Iâve got the first mag or two with back-to -battery issues, fixed with a tap of the thumb, then sheâs warmed up and fine.
Got a few glocks, and 5 P80âs among a few other pistols. Bought a .45 M&P 2.0C, 'cuz it was cheap, and to be honest, if Iâd bought an M&P first, Iâd have more of them. Good gun, only thing I donât like is the angled slide, as itâs hard to use my sight tool onâŠand that front sightâŠI think itâs welded on 
Glad Iâm not alone 
.
The M&P sights are a pain. I just pay my local gunsmith since Iâd 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 upâŠand then thereâs that blissful feeling of âunscrewing upâ a project
