9 going back to S&W

Full size 9 going back for accuracy issues. Love the weapon but wow, all over the place with all ammo. I wish it was the shooter but its not... Will it help sending it in or am I stuck with a lemon. I've read the issues about the 9 but thought it might be just a fluke with some. My 40 is great so Im a bit disappointed!

Send it back with a target, shot at 10 yards from a bench. Then Smith will know the issue.

Test fire May 2012. I may be wrong and not as good as I thought I was. I wanted to make a test target to send with it so I put out the target at 45 feet. Set up a bench with a bag and shot 2 mags of 115 $11.00 walmart federal. The center is gone in my 3 inch red circle. I have a smile now but feel a bit embarrassed. I think I need some range time with this new platform being used to my glocks. This pistol is much better than me.

It's okay JPFRESCUE! There's been a whole lot of hullabaloo about the accuracy issues of the M&P 9 but not the other calibers. I think in most cases it's the Indian, not the Bow and Arrow. That being said, some FS 9's do suffer from accuracy issues but, because of all of the internet jabber, people are quick to blame the gun instead of themselves. I'm glad you actually benched it before you sent it back!

When I first got my 9c I was experiencing a number of failure to extracts. It seemed like every other mag I would have a stove pipe. After a lot more shooting and having many trouble free rounds through it, I learned it was me that was causing the stove pipes. I was limp wristing. My wife has only had the problem one time with the 9c and once I told her to lock her wrists she was golden and so was the 9c. Happy Shooting! -Dirvo-
