You are right and I agree that there's one extreme where one small group of inexperienced people who are just making noise about some issues that do not exist.

On the other hand, there's also the other extreme where the group of people are experienced competition shooters and S&W refuse to look into the issue. Same thing with certain forum websites that brush the issue asides as a small anomaly occurring only in a small number of pistols.

As to whether the accuracy issue is real or not; perhaps, one should drop by some websites where competition shooters frequent (like Brian Enos and Pistol-Forum) and you'd understand what I meant. The people who brought up the issue are, certainly, not green-horns making noise.

You are lucky, you got one of the good ones. Many others and I are not as lucky as you.
