The put a new barrel in and "adjusted the trigger" the trigger is about a pound and a half lighter, and with the new barrel the gun shoots better at 25 yards than it previously did at 7. I did notice that on the new barrel I could see the rifling, and it looked deeper. On the old barrel the rifling was so shallow it was hard to tell if it even had any. Anyway, Smith fixed its accuracy problem. It's not a bullseye gun and I don't expect that kind of accuracy out of a 9mm. It does shoot accuratly enough I can shoot an IPSC match in Production and have a decent score.
