So, I was just reading an article in the latest issue of Trigger magazine written by SGM Kyle Lamb (Ret.). In it he says, " After shooting the M&P, I quickly realized that this pistol met several of the shortcomings of my issue 1911, namely the reliability. The accuracy was abysmal and the trigger creepy, but the pistol fit my hand."
My question is, is the accuracy of the M&P's that bad or is SGM Lamb just trying to help sell barrels for Salient? Don't get me wrong, I really like Kyle Lamb, and I am not questioning his integrity. Accuracy is relative, what may be bad for him may be fine for someone else. I would submit that if you can't ace a dot torture drill, or can't hit a torso sized steel at 100 yards, then you might not know or care of the accuracy defficiency he speaks to.
Lets be clear, he is speaking of the pistols inherent accuracy, not its practical accuracy. He addresses fixes for the bad trigger at some point in the article. His fix for the inherent accuracy problem is a better barrel. In this case ones made for Salient Arms by KKM.
Thoughts?
