I bought a secondhand 2014 model and thought the same thing. I could not repeatedly hit a standard qualification target at 25 yards. I started researching it, and learned 9mm barrels are releasing too early and some earlier models had too slow a twist rate to stabilize most bullets. Smith changed their twist rate since.

However, I bought a semi-drop in Apex barrel and from a rest, drill the center out of targets at 35 yards. Randy Lee at Apex figured out the timing and twist rate issues.

I am not mechanically inclined, I just watched the install videos on how to do it. Very easy and I cannot say enough what the semi-drop in does to the accuracy factor. $189.00 for the barrel and $15.00 dollars for the dye chem and file at Home Depot. Highly recommend it. Swapped a 1911 for my M&P 9mm full size for SWAT and investigations, as it became THAT accurate. I had put a FSS trigger in it before the barrel swap.
