Yea, I have not hear anything with problems in accuracy in regard to M&P 9.
I haven't seen any problems with the accuracy for my M&P 9...
Plus you can not beat the price of the M&P 9 range kit...for $700, you get the gun, 3 magazines, Maglula Uplula speed loader, bladetech hostler, and bladetech magazine holster
I know I am just one of now MANY, but I gotta chime in with my Choice. I have an M&P 9mm and I LOVE it!! Ergonomics, reliability, reputation and fully ambidextrous.
I got the range and carry kit, wicked deal, 3 mags and a holster for 660$. oh, and came with no mag disconnect or thumb safety!!!
My trigger is starting to smooth out after only 300 rounds.
I also like the winchester ranger 147 grains in it. Havent found the +Ps to try at 124 or whatever it is but its a great combo.
Oh, Havent had the chance to try a 40 cal mag in it, but theres a couple others who have, so there's that too...
Well, that settles it then.
Do you mean you are having accuracy issues? The M&P (or any other firearm) will generally be more accurate than the person working the trigger.
Supahdave, get yourself and a few buddies together and journey over to Coquitlam and visit DVC so you can actually hold and shoot a wide variety of 9mm pistols.
The ferry cost will easily save you leaping into the wild unknown.
Myself? I'm a hammer and steel gun sort. But I can see why folks buy Glocks even if they are not for me. But asking US what YOU should buy is like getting us to find your wife for you. YOU need to hold and shoot the guns and then YOU need to decide for yourself.

I read a thread the othe day about a Norinco NP-22 sig copy being a kick ass gun... I some cases guys said they prefer the Norc over the Sig. For $800 you could buy a norc and a pile of ammo. If it is all about the brand and not function M&P9 is a nice gun.
Good choice of finalists. Why those 4?
They are great pistols.
The steyr has triangle sights, which can take some getting used to, it has nearly the perfect grip angle for most users and is the pistol in the above group which natuarally points on target and makes accurate followup shots very very easy natural and on target. Great little pistol. it is not ammo fussy, it has not been a big seller so there are not a lot of opinions. Its an improved glock. Trigger is okay
CZ incorporated a lot of improvements into duty. It has a good trigger, gritty at first, smooths out over time, the reset is short and single stage shots are can be made nice and fast. It feels like a plastic gun, what can I say. Its a stripped down 9mm meant to be light for concealed carry and serves that purpose well. It points okay, shoots okay, is accurate enough for a handgun, and eats any ammo without any issue.
The glock is a glock, simple reliable functional in every way. I don't like the material they use as I have sweaty hands and loose grip on the pistol, they are not for me. They tend to be more limp wrist sensitive than the previous two. Eats any ammo all the time. hard to field strip if you have weak fingers as those little saw blades are hard to hold down to pull the slide off.
MP good gun, gaining more popularity all the time. Never owned one dont know.
Of the four you chose I wouldn't pick any. I would pick the CZ 75 which is the Duty but in a steel frame. It does everthing the duty does only it has less snap on recoil as its heavier, the slide rides along a much longer rail so its more accurate, you can upgrade the hammer to a competition hammer, making the trigger one of the best in the business. Its the pistol most issue to law enforcement world wide, is proven in battle more so than any other 9mm on the planet and is the absolute best bang for the buck. If they made as few as the Steyr it would likely be a $1100 pistol. If you can't buy it the Duty is a good runner up. You don't need the lightness of polymer for range work, daily carry you do.
I have owned them all except the m&p.
Just know that it shouldn't be a huge decision, they are all inexpensive, and all easy to sell if you don't like it. You won't make the wrong choice regardless of what you buy. If you buy one, and don't like it, sell it, and try another, the most you will be out is $100 its not a big deal.
I have two Glocks and two M&Ps, have had a CZ75, couple of 1911s. The glocks and sigs are the easiest by far to field strip. I love the weight of them and lack of levers. Simplicity, keep finger off trigger until ready to shoot. No worrying over safeties. The triggers on the striker fired pistol will always need some work or breakin time (or just plain practise) compared to single action trigger pulls but you do get a consistant pull. As for acuracy they are more acurate than most shooters. It takes the right ammo and the right shooter to get the most acuracy out of any gun.
Get what feels good. Then get everything else. In the last year i've bought sold and traded a dozen guns until I found what I like. There are no rentals in the Okanagan.

Nope, you're not missing anything. The M9A1 is a great gun (police force issue in many European countries).
Kindof expensive in North America and arguably not very easy to get parts for.
But then again, they don't break easily.
Mine probably has a forged barrel 'cause the bore is perfectly smooth. No tool marks, no defects.
Shoots lead as well as jacketed without issues. Fully supported chamber. Great accuracy once you get to know it.
Re- M&P accuracy, I have no issues with the accuracy of my M&P despite my having put a lot of ammunition through it. Come to think of it, maybe I don't have a problem with the accuracy of my M&P because of my having put a lot of rounds through it. Just saying.

if you're lucky and find one.... I'll put my vote for a SIG Pro 2022 in 9mm
