My MF.40 is off my carry rotation for three reasons, I need help with two of them:
1. My accuracy isn't as good as my other carry guns. This takes practice, and an understanding that double tap practice will result in a few wild (still on target, but not on center) shots, since this gun does kick. Just need more followup practice. Actually not bad enough to not carry, but with the other two issues, it clinches it.
2. Slide has been locking open when mag isn't empty. While it is quick to drop the slide again, the pause to figure out that is the problem and I am really not out of ammo.... not a good thing. Happened twice during one mag and once on the high cap (two different mags) on yesterday's shoot. I assume this will take a small part or some adjustment. I am not the original owner, so warranty is not an option. As an ex-USAF Avionics tech, I am quite comfortable making my own repairs. This also doesn't really preclude carrying, but it isn't a good idea. I am considering replacing the spring holding the slide release in position.
3. This gun has been double tapping on one trigger pull. This is rare, and I have been able to keep these extra shots on paper. Has happened 3 times total in 4 shoots (200 rounds approx). Did not happen yesterday. I suspect, this problem is related somehow to #2 item. This problem makes carrying this weapon irresponsible. Uncommanded shot possibility is not an acceptable carry option.
