All of my M&Ps shoot "low" if you attempt to line the sights up. Front dot will appear smaller than the back dots, you need to line the front dot up towards the top of the back dots. This is actually lined up, attempting to put the front dot level with the back dots will shoot low cause you're aiming low. This is a bit of an optical illusion, I could draw an explanation of this better than I can explain it.

Line front dot up top of rear dots you will hit POA. Remember 99% of the time when a gun is "in accurate", it's the shooter who is at error, not the gun. Unless something major is wrong most modern semi autos are inherently VERY accurate. This is true for S&W, Glock, Springfield, Kimber, Berretta, H&K, Sig, Kahr, etc....
