    Default M&P Accuracy question

    I have put about 500 rounds through my new M&P9c and I am getting very good groups with it but I think it is shooting about 1-2 inches low at about 10m I have another experienced shooter use it and came to the same conclusion...

    What are my options? what can be done?


    Thanks,

    -Josh

    yeah that will probably be the solution I was just wondering if there were any reasonable cost option for the gun.

    Did you shoot it off a bench yet? I'd put away the files until you can be sure that it's not due to the shooters.

    try adjusting the sights...adjusting your POA for 1 pistol is a bad habit IMHO.

    I was thinking of same thing. My M&P9C shoot tad bit low when I shoot full size M&P9 first then shoot M&P9C afterwords, because I anticipate little stronger recoil of compact model. After couple of shots, I'm right back on tho

    I would not worry about it. You are only shooting 1-2 inches low at 10 meters( about 11 yards) with a compact gun. Most gun fights take place inside this range. 1-2 inches low is good when you have a 6 inch area you are going for.
