In my opinion, it's impossible to say because it's so relative. Have you shot groups with other pistols, and if so, what where they like?Originally Posted by MangPol
If I could hold 2" groups with a Glock, then I would not be happy with 6" from from an M&P. But perhaps you shoot the same size groups with a Glock, CZ, etc . In that case, I think most here would be happy if their M&P could just replicate the accuracy of comparable pistols.
Edited to say: If you don't have another accurate gun to shoot and see what groups you are capable of shooting off hand, I'd shoot it from a rest and see if the groups tightened up. A little tighter and I'd probably be happy.

Pooling this and other comments from Brian Enos' forum allowed me to conclude that the Storm Lake barrels, while not out of this world, would not be worse. As I mentioned heading back and forth between the range to see how the gun shoots is getting costly by itself. It is my opinion that the money spent will not be wasted as I will know if it works. If I end up with an acceptable gun and have to use a $140 barrel so be it. I will have an acceptable gun. Constantly bitching about it online without putting effort into it is foolish.
Think for yourself. Question authority.
The Storm Lake may be less ammo picky at it's 1:16 twist.
One of the two possibilities has me giving more money to S&W. I want to exhaust my options with warranty first.
