Same on my M11 but i can take about 12 shots successively outdoors at wide apertures. Less so in the dark or at small apertures though. 13 shots here:

 

 

Appreciate the audio! It's hard to explain. When I'm at home testing how many shots I can take in a row using single shot mode, my camera sounds/works exactly like yours. However, when I'm actually making pictures with the camera on the street (which I consider a real world scenario for me) - the shutter can occasionally not fire, which equates to missed shots. Like I say, this happens occasionally. 

For reference, my key settings are:

• Manual shutter speed/iso / medium aperture (around f8)
• Auto preview off
• Multi-field metering 
• Noise reduction off
• Exposure preview > permanent 
• Connectivity > airplane mode
• Shutter > mechanical 

@FlashGordonPhotography Thanks - I'll give this a go. Is this work around still relevant though and not related to an old bug?

Unsure if this has a Leica claimed fix or not. But I still have it a applied and haven't had issues since I did. I suppose I should turn it off and see what happens but I don't want to jinx myself or my camera...

Definitely a bug. I experienced delays of up to 1 sec so I tried switching from Auto ISO and Auto shutter speed to manual ISO and SS. It went away. But when I switched back to Auto ISO and SS I could not recreate the issue. I had review set to 5 secs. As this is a serious issue, I expect this will be fixed in an upcoming firmware update.
