My S&W Performance Center CQB 45 likes 185 grain best, for tight small grouping. Most of my other S&W 45's will group best with a 185 grain 45 as well.

"S&W's Jim Rae tells me a 5" 945 does not have any particular accuracy spec it has to meet before it leaves the performance center..."

WOW! Thats disappointing, and surprising. Didn't those 945's come from the factory with a test target and an "accuracy guarantee" at one time?

Am I confusing it with another PC pistol?

Sooo...what are you getting for $2000 besides the additional laser etching, and gee whiz cosmetics, that you don't get from a regular production pistol???? Regards 18DAI
