Thank you. I appreciate the detailed instructions, lubrication tips and wonderful camera work. It was easy to see the demonstrated steps.

Thanks for the nice video. Very clear. I just purchased one of these guns and I have now saved this video so that I can watch it again when I’m ready to take the gun apart for cleaning. Thanks again.

A quick tip: if you stand the firearm upright on the buttstock and apply downward pressure, the extra mag pin or button releases much easier. Other than that, this is a fine video to demonstrate the take down and re-assembly of this firearm. Very well filmed and explained. This is a fun firearm to shoot and has multiple applications, whether it be for home defense or just target shooting.

Good morning, Jason, after watching the strip down of the unit, it quite clear to me why it's built the way it is. I am a bit in love with the gun. And if I was in your world, I would own two, with ten magazines each. Cheers

I actually work at smith and Wesson on the fpc assembly line, this is an amazing video. The only advice I have is when u go to pull the latch on the stock to remove it, it’ll be easier to stand the gun up and pull down on the handle so you slightly compress the big spring in the stock. Once that’s done it’ll alleviate some of the pressure making it easier to pull that latch out. Other than that this was an amazing video

Great video field strip demo and explanation speed really appreciate it.

Great video, everything I wanted and needed to know

Nice video, but one thing I haven't seen mentioned is that once you pull the bolt/carrier mechanism out, the hammer can, or will lurch forward (sorry if I missed here). Then when you reassemble, the hammer will not be positioned to fire. When I went to the range yesterday for my first test - I couldn't fire the FPC. VERY bummed. So to save others from being very bummed, here's a tip: When replacing the carrier, make sure the hammer is fully cocked, either manually or by virtue of dissembling when it's cocked. I hope this saves someone a trip to the range and not having the FPC function as planned. The FPC is actually very easy to disassemble and reassemble if you follow the process defined here and make sure the hammer is set properly upon reassembly. The first time is maybe unusual if you're used to AR15's or shotguns, but the 2nd time is just a few steps and handle the slider spring so it doesn't launch, then it's 1-2-3 and done. Very well designed. The other thing I'll mention is complaints on how the mags are released from the stock. I really like how that was designed. Again - a few practice sessions and you'll feel very confident of dropping and replacing a mag. An improvement would be if S&W would orient the mags 180 degrees in the stock so when they pop out, you shove them into the mag frame without rotating. One step removed in a time sensitive situation could be the difference between your life or the goons. On a good note - I put a couple hundred rounds through my M&P Shield Plus yesterday and a couple mags through my friend's tricked-out 9mm Staccato 2011 - sweetest handgun I've ever fired, but I don't want to spend $4K for my own. I'd rather put that into another 1/2 acre of TX land.

Important note. Rack the gun. Put safety on. Do not pull trigger. It will not go back together if the trigger has been pulled. I learned the hard way. I use a 1/2 " dowl rod to put buffer tube it. It won't just drop down. Just tap it. There are videos on how to disassembly the firing pin assembly. I've shot about 1000 rounds. Great gun. Very accurate. I use a nylon brush to clean the firing pin assembly. Gets really dirty.

Having just bought one, this is really a great video for the field stripping and understanding the workings.

Great video. Love the gun and the tear down

Thank you! I will be buying one of these in the next few days, and the first thing I do with any new gun, is field strip, clean and oil it.

Clear, concise, straight to the point! Excellent tutorial video on field stripping this weapon. Wish they were all this good.

Thanks for this clear instructional video and for making it easy to see what you’re doing. I just bought this gun recently, wasn’t expecting the disassembly to be quite so involved, but thanks to your video I’m good 🙌

Definitely helped me out. Thank you my good man.

Super video, thanks!

Very informative and great video, Thank you

Great video. Very well filmed and explained.

Nice job thanks! Just purchased this gun and that was a helpful video!

Great job. Just got mine and put some rounds through it today. Functioned absolutely perfect. Doesn’t look too bad to disassemble, wish me luck. LOL.

WELL DONE! THX

Thank you.

Thank you for the field striping video. I was on the fence about buying the FPC because I heard a lot of negative reviews about how difficult it was and clean. After watching your video,I’m ready to purchase one.

Much apprecaited!

Great video I just bought this gun an hour ago.

Appreciate the video. I’ve seen people slamming it on the table and using a dowel to seat the bolt. Glad to see that is not necessarily needed. FYI- that wasn’t a proper function test. Just saying.

Very good video thank you

Great video. I am now a subscibers

Great video ,that didn't look difficult at all , unless you made it look real easy lol

Thank you from the future

Great video! The stoppage point is just due to the hammer being hit from the rear. Has anyone tried the Taccom parts for this rifle?

The pin isn't tough to pull out to remove the butt stock if you push in first on the butt stock to relieve the pressure on that pin. Makes it super easy to pull out.

Watching this makes me appreciate Eugene Stoner even more.

thanks for sharing, my new FPC thanks you :) I just used the take down tool stored in the handle to remove the bolt pin instead of a screwdriver :) also who is pounding their FPC on tables lol, I just stuck my thumb in and gave a little "bump" and it went right past the stop XD maybe their thumbs dont fit or something >_>

Have you noticed any hammer marks on the bolt of the FPC? Will it need replacement? Thanks!

Thank you. What type of sights are you running? Thanks again.

While performing the initial cleaning yesterday, the firing pin retaining pin fell out. I wasn't expecting that. Anyone else have that happen? There should be tighter tolerances that require the pin to be pushed out, not just fall out.

I field stripped one of these the other day and the hammer didn’t allow bolt the be installed. Is there something I need to be aware of to keep the hammer locked back? I eventually got the hammer locked back with a cleaning rod and function checked ok.

Is the trigger for the M&P pistol the same for the FPC? Can I upgrade the fpc trigger?

What brand of flip up sights are those?

It is a cool one

HELP!!!!! Just striped and cleaned now it won’t click when I pull the trigger

Now compare this field strip to that of Beretta CX4.

I'm kinda new ,and I don't understand why some think this is that difficult ,or is their more to the video that I didn't see

great video ..thank you !
