M&P 9mm inherent accuracy problems?

Thanx. I knew earlier M&P's suffered from that. Ship your new one back w/ a detailed letter. S&W will make it right.

Hmm. M29, it Sounds like a barrel and/or a barrel fit problem. Of course I am just guessing, too. I do think that the M&P series of handguns is prone to having bad accuracy issues w/ poor barrel fit.

I don't have any feelers or I'd measure, but there is a noticeable amount of play between the barrel and slide on my 9 FS that is not there on my 9c.

I'm going to guess that's the culprit. We'll see what S&W says. If they send it back and it's still too loose/inaccurate (y'all have VERY strict cuss filters on here, replaced a different word I don't consider a swear that rhymes with "wrap"), maybe I'll have an oversized barrel professionally fitted by a third party.
