I bought my M&P Pro 5" a few months ago and both the front and rear sight are slightly towards to right, when aiming. I was consistently placing shots low and left about 3". I had a buddy of mine shoot the gun and he hit bullseyes for three magazines. I doubt it is the gun. I just need more practice.

Someone suggested trying different back strap. Definitly try that. I always considered myself as having small hands so used the small back strap. And shot pretty well. One day I put the medium strap on and my shooting really improved. Changed the position of my index finger.

No matter what you hear an audible reset is not important.I have shot thousands of rounds through several pistols during many different competitions and never once heard a reset on any of the pistols.

There is a great way to use audible reset.

If you can hear the reset, you're not shooting fast enough.


Seriously, using tactile reset is pretty much a tactical noobie thing. Muscle memory should be doing all the work once you know where it is.

WOW! Welcome to the forum. First post hmmmm....
Look at the attachment, not trying to hurt your feelings but its you and not the pistol that is shooting low. There is a difference in recoil in the 22lr and 9mm. There are a bunch of threads here of members shooting low left etc.Try dry firing a couple hundred times and see if your sight moves when you pull the trigger. In the end you may want to have the Apex kit installed in your pistol. It will give you a lighter and soother trigger. How new is your pistol? What is the date on the fired casing envelope?

Here is the chart that I use.....

A lot of handguns have adjustable sights. There is a reason for that.

Sights may need to be adjusted to your eye and hold. For a carry gun, you will draw it quickly and shoot. It must hit where you aim. Set up your sights for yourself. You may have to swap out the sights to get a zero. Nothing unusual about that. Different grips may also help get on target.

Changing ammo bullet weight can change where you hit. You can try that for a zero. I like to have a handgun zero of 25 yards where the bullet hits just above the center of the front sight. Check at other distances to see how to hold for a good hit.

Seems like BigMickEngland shot himself in the foot but missed by 2.5"

Shoot it...a lot. Get a couple of hundred rounds through it and then pass judgement. Whether it has been a S&W revolver, Sig, or M&P they all took a little to break in and for me to adjust to it.

+1 on the ammo. My M&P pro seems to be more accurate when I use 124 gr and 147 gr ammo.
