Title: Smith & Wesson M&P line
Post by: Sparky on December 28, 2016, 01:35:32 PM

The M&P's feel right in my hand plus they don't break the bank but they do shoot low?  I have all 3, all 9's, M&P Pro for Steel, M&P 4 1/4" for house gun and Shield 9 for carry.  A Steel shooter @ our club has 40,000 rounds down his M&P Pro with out any malfunction, that's impressive. The 124 grain pills group higher so if others have noticed it and shoot the 147 gr either metal case or HP's?

I am also a M&P carrier and I agree with you.

Always had the same issue with my Sig P232. Could install a shorter front post, but never bothered.

I had the same problem with my Beretta Px4. I never carried it so no worries there however it is a nightstand pistol. I was ready to trade it in however it performed better and better the more rounds sent through it. Now it is accurate with 115 grain. Like you I tried higher grain and it seemed to work better. I think it just need breaking in. I'm no expert and thought it was the shooter but now I'm pretty sure it was the pistol. Anyway I am very pleased and confident with it. I hope you have the same results.

US Marine Corp marksmanship teaches that a six o'clock alignment is proper.  That's not always true.  The M&P series uses point of aim/point of impact.  It may impair target clarity but does seem more natural.
