I just picked up a new M&P FS 9mm and i am now noticing the slide to frame fit is a bit loose. It actually rattles somewhat if i shake it. Im not thrilled with the fit. Should i be concerned over this?

How does it shoot?
I have a SP2022 that rattles like a can of spray paint and will tear a ragged hole in an index card at 30 feet. What really matters is barrel to slide fit.
Optimists study English; pessimists study Chinese; and realists learn to use a Kalashnikov.
I wouldn't worry about it until you know how it shoots.
I went and shook mine (Nov '13 build sku 209301 FS9) just now.
I have to say, it DOES rattle a bit. Giving it a good shake either side, there is a muted but distinct 'click' as the slide moves slightly on the frame.
Seems to shoot ok for me.
The PPQs have a bit of rattle as well.
If it shoots well, who cares if a handgun rattles? Utterly irrelevant to good shooting...
Facts matter...Feelings Can Lie
