I shoot freehanded, with a rest, and with a vice. For absolute accuracy determination I use the vice which eliminates all my inaccuracys. It also shows which gun/ammo combination is most accurate. I find that the most accurate combination when using a vice is also the most accurate handheld.
So that is the real the question - are the match grade barrels more accurate than the factory barrels if fired from a vice?

Unfortunately, it's a toss up. I've known people that bought match grade barrels and had some improvement and others that did not.
I've been lucky in that regard. An Apex trigger kit, titanium striker and match grade barrel in my M&P 9 has been exceptionally accurate. But only from a rest. Hell I can't see 25 yards let alone hold the gun steady enough!!
