I have only about 5K through my FS without a FTF or FTE. I just bought a Pro 5" and will do the internatls/ Would like to see another test done on a 5" Pro or "L" to see if current production has improved the line of pistols.

Would like to see another test done on a 5″ Pro or “L” to see if current production has improved the line of pistols.

Take Care

I've been getting 1 3/4" to 2" groups at 10 yards freestyle, which is with fairly bad eyes and an MP40Pro. With my MP45c, I can do just a bit better. I think a kid with fresh eyes could cut those groups in half with relative ease. I certainly cannot shoot 2" groups at 25 yards with a rest...but I believe it's due to problems with not being able to get a sight picture that I can keep from shot to shot. They eyes just go nuts with a target that blurry. No accuracy issues with either of mine. I’ve been getting 1 3/4″ to 2″ groups at 10 yards freestyle, which is with fairly bad eyes and an MP40Pro.

I've got an M&P.40 I purchased last summer and put 500+ rnds of the cheap to the good stuff through it and I can't get groups under 4" at 10 yds over sand bags. My cheapest 1911 an AMT hardballer w/fullhouse rounds fired offhand beats the M&P hands down. The trigger was so "gritty" I sent it back to S&W along with a letter about the trigger and accuracy issues, they did smooth out the triger but it still needs a triger job. they told me that the accuracy was acceptable for a duty weapon. Anyone else have any issues with theirs. Wish I could get my hands on one of these accurate M&P’s.

It's simply the point where the slide is most likely to crack under heavy use & abuse, I think. Ira — Nothing specific.

Except for making the slide a little harder to get off the gun during field stripping, it doesn't seem to have any effect at all. Nonetheless, I did receive a replacement slide and will probably be putting that on the gun for any future use.

It's not really clear. So, does the gun function fully with the cracked slide, or did that get replaced? It’s not really clear.
