M&P CORE 5 inch wont cycle

Post by JamieFt »

Hi All,

Bit of a newbie here and not overly technically inclined... I have a big cycling issue and need your guidance, please.

Just got an Octane 9HD..it won't cycle on my M&P CORE 9mm with Storm Lake barrel. This is the Pro Center model with a 5" barrel. Suppressed, it shoots one good shot, then the slide freezes up. Tried the can on a friend's threaded M&P 4" and it works flawlessly, so issue is not the Octane 9.
1. My pistol is very broken in...had it 2 years
2. Used a variety of different ammo at 147 and 158 9mm
3. Tried greasing the piston with white lithium grease

Any solutions you can think of, and also, why is this happening? The can is basically useless to me with this cycling issue.

Thank you all in advance!
