I was able to rent a full size M&P 9mm at the range a week ago. I was very anxious to try this gun as I was very favorably immpressed with it any time I'd seen it and handled it in stores. I had to use the range's UMC 115gr ammo. I was very disappointed in how the gun shot. Recoil was minimal, and the grip was comfortable, but I couldn't group at all. I could not feel the trigger reset at all. It wasn't a lightI reset....I really could not feel it reset at all. I was all over the target at only 10 yards. I was really taking my time, slowly squeezing the trigger, getting the surprise break etc., but not once did I hit my point of aim. I have shot Glocks, SIGs, and Berettas before with no problem. Most of my experience is with 1911's and a single action CZ75B. I shot some of the same box of UMC in my CZ and it went into one jagged hole.
I know most of you have had very positive experiences with the M&P's, so what do you think the problem was ? Lack of familiarity with the trigger ? Is it THAT different ? It didn't feel like it. I really wanted to like this gun. I was all set to buy one until I actually shot it. Did any of you have similar experiences early on that improved with time ?
