The sole S&W 9mm I've fired was, I think, a M-39-2. Accuracy was awful. Wasn't me; other guns fired that day shot normally, very good indeed.
Mine shoots great. However, I don't know if it's just mine, or maybe common but I find that if I size my cast bullets to .356 accuracy is so-so. Sizing them to .357, and then passing the loaded casings through the Lee Factory Crimp die to make sure there is no oversized rounds has GREATLY improved the accuracy.

My bullets are cast quite hard, using Mexican Wheelweights and some bar-solder, fluxed with Marvelux. A friend told me that my bullets are around 14.0 on his hardness tester. I mean, that's hard enough for under 1,150 fps.

Just something I noticed.
