[Streck-Fu]

The M&P 9 suffered some very serious accuracy issues a couple years ago related to the barrels or lock up issues. S&W chased that ghost for a while. I picked one at a good price as a local sale to try it out and experienced the issues.

I experienced groups much larger than other pistols I owned; as in 3-4" at 10y....at 25 yards, it looked like smoothbore shot gun pattern.

This problem seemed to be contained to the full size M&P9 and did not carry over to other calibers or the compact models.

I liked the firearm well enough and would consider it again if I knew the issues were fixed but the grip was too slim for me.
