As far as other mass produced polymer pistol accuracy, I only have Glocks for a reference point, but I've watched, fired or supervised the firing of a couple of million rounds from that platform involving a few hundred examples since the late 1980s. Most were 9mm, the next most represented were .40 S&W and a very few .45 ACP guns were involved. Most of these pistols would shoot about 3-4" 25 yard groups from a prone or other solid rested position. I did find that the .40 pistols were the worst of the breed accuracy wise during all this time.
I have three 3rd Gen G17s and a single 3rd Gen G19 right now and all of them will stay inside of 3" at 25 yards off the bench. The M&P is simply terrible and I became suspicious of it right after I traded for it when I noted that it wasn't shooting to my shot "calls" during some LAV bullseye drills at 15 yards. My scores were also lower and when I bench tested it, I found out I have a turkey. I will have to do some thinking about spending lots of money on a new barrel and may send the gun to Smith and see if they'll offer any options that improve the situation.
