Nothing is wrong with it if it works... As you well know, the full sized pistols have a accuracy problem that seems random in nature, as Randy Lee has pointed out, the problems with the barrels in the FS guns are the rifling, rate of twist, (also weird if I remember correctly, something like 1 in18.75, usual twist for 9mm, I believe is 1 in 16)and of course the well known early unlocking.. All of these are parts of the accuracy equation. If one or more of these parts is'nt right, you're going to have problems.My question in a nutshell is, did they address these issues with this pistol or not? Not wanting to be a smartass, But, I'm not really interested in a debate on the merits of 5 groove rifling. I guess the next question would be, if they did manage to address these issues, then, why can't they do it with the full sized pistols? (pardon the thread drift)
