A lot of double stack guns do this or when you try to shoot the pistol like you are shooting a precision rifle with the pad of your finger.

The M&P's require a straight pull back and any side force on the trigger will throw your shots off. SA guns like revolvers and 1911's hide this shooter's flaw because the trigger comes to a stop as soon as it breaks.
Good advice. Insure you are pulling straight back and I bet the shots line up. Different triggers have different characteristics but they all respond well to a straight back trigger pull.

The best advice I've heard on triggers is it doesn't matter if you pull the trigger, squeeze the trigger, press the trigger, yank the trigger or jerk the trigger...just don't move the gun when you do it!
