Gunsmiths (Dan?) or RKIs...
Would there be any improvement in M&P45 accuracy w/tighter slide-to-rail fit?
Is something like this readily accomplishable on M&P 45s? Would this best involve adding material to the frame rails, or inside the slide rail grooves instead?
Reasoning behind the madness:

Reasoning behind the madness:
- M&P45 slide feels looser than either of my other 45 autos & way looser than buddy's P220;
- my soon-to-be former G21 + my stock regular 1911s, in absolute formal-stance shooting;
"range accuracy" are a twinge better than my M&P using bulk ammo (WWB/UMC 230gr FMJ);
- a tad of this is due to trigger/user getting used to each other + break-in;
- most dispersion related to "1st round flyer" due to difference in manual vs cycled chambering;
(no flinch: regular 45ACP is easy for me to shoot controllably and isn't harsh like 40S&W);
- for real-world shootability above's somewhat irrelevant: M&P45 wins hands-down on
ergonomics & pointability - fast shots & natural pointing are great, comfortable etc.
