Considering the purchase of another 9mm handgun. Anyone fire and/or handle the S&W 915? What kind of accuracy can one expect of it? Thanks in advance! |

Avoid the 915. You'd be better off getting an older 39/59 series S&W for the same money. If you're hellbent on the 915, I'd say you'd probably be getting 4-6" groups at 25 yards. Of course, there's huge variables such as shooter ability & ammo compatability to that particular gun. There's also a bunch of Glock 17 police trade-ins that can be had for $350 or so. My .o2 |

Besides having had two 915s, I remember a gun rag saying that they shoot better that they should, as I found to be the case. My first one, after installing Millet night sights to get the point of aim zeroed in, would shoot into a playing card at 30 yards. The original 915 came with one 15 round mag, the later ones came with a 10. Not to sound overly "pro Smith", 15 round mags can be found easily and parts from any other similar Smith 9 will fit it. Like Bob said, there are variables but if the price is right, I would do it. Speaking of variables...my CZ-85 Combat choked on hollowpoints, the Smith didn't, even though the CZ is recognized as the better of the two. |
Yup-But get a CZ75-b or 1 of the all too confusing iterations. Mine goes BANG all the Time,,,Hi Caps are relatively cheap and if you get a Compact you still get 10 rounds and they fit the Milt Sparks SSII (with a little creative stretching) which is/was stocked by Brownells. |
