M&P 9mm FS Accuracy

[reloader550]

How are the latest M&P 9mm Full Size guns doing at long distance (25 yards and longer)in the accuracy dept. I had a full size 5years ago, accuracy stank, trigger was heavy and gritty. Not sure if I want to get back into the M&P 9mm platform or get another Glock 17. What say you guys and gals.

The M&P is a defensive gun. It was never intended to be a precision long distance gun. Yes, I consider 25 yards to be a long shot for a defensive gun. So, if shooting greater than 25 yards is your "thing", I would counsel you to look to a different tool.

Now, having said that, S&W has listened to the customers. The trigger has been improved as has the accuracy. They don't list a specific tolerance, but it is better than it was 5 years ago.

I love the whole M&P line. Then again, I never take shots longer than 15 yards. I'm a defensive shooter and that's as far a shot as is likely to be needed for personal defense.
