That full size M&P shoots terrific. Shooting offhand at a moderate rate of fire I was able to keep a full mag (15 rds) in a 3" cluster about 2" below the dime size bull at 15 yds. After examining why I was 2" low, it dawned on me that that is exactly where the white dot on the front sight is. The next mag I proceeded to destroy the bull. Now I wouldn't say it is more accurate than my compact but the slightly longer sight radius and longer grip improves the shooting ability of the weapon.
