I absoultely love my FNP9M and the only problem I have with it is accuracy. Let me state that I know everyone's accuracy is different and that with the 9M, I have a bit shorter barrel (3.8 in) and sight radius.
This weekend at the range, I was standing unsupported and shot my FN consistently into a 3 inch group slow fire (which has been my norm, 3in at 7 and 5-6 in at 15 yards), then I picked up a friends 9mm with a 4.7 in barrel and longer sight radius and I shot 8 rounds into a one inch circle. This isn't the first time I've shot better with a friends 9mm, but I had never shot the two consecutively as I did this time.
Should this difference in accuracy be expected or is it a bit extreme? I've only put 55 rounds through the FN, so could it be getting broken in still? I wanted to ask everyone, in particular those with more rounds through their firearms. I realize I didn't buy the best range gun ever, but I would like some better accuracy if I know I can shoot well enough.
Thanks for the help.
