Ran some Precision Ammunition "Fire Frangible" rounds through the M&P 357 today. What grain weight? Good question; that information wasn't included on the adhesive label on the box flap.
I'm guessing they were light-for-caliber because accuracy was dismal.
I've seen frangible slugs smack forcing cones and begin the fragmentation process there. Multiple holes appear in the target.

7yrds is awful short to see inadequate stability.
It is enough to see huge groups (patterns?) due to cg/cm issues.
We had a real problem with one lot of 5.56 frangible. Broken and backwards loaded projectiles and key holes. I suspect some did not make it down range. The new lot we have seems to be working much better.
Those are fine, they're from Dynamic Tactical's new line of 5.56 wadcutters.Originally Posted by 5pins

I saw some at the LGS, but they wouldn't sell to me because I left my VIPR badge at home.

Other than the load above. Has your pistol been grouping well.
I know its a gamble buying the M&P 9mm.
You did note that this is an M&P 357 to which I'm referring? In any case, I've only fired the gun at seven yards thus far.
(Of my two M&P 9s, one seems fine and the other is only good for about 8" at 25yds w/std velocity FMJ.)
Don't know from accuracy, but had a Glock rep tell me that some frangible ammo in use was eroding breechfaces.
We had an instructor transfer in from FLETC whose 23 had a pretty chewed up striker nose, but the breechface was fine.
A butter soft slide, with a super hard but thin finish is the culprit, not the ammo.
Especially the non toxic DDMP priming compounds.
