rack&roll Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 Would a loose or sloppy fitting backplate on an M&P affect accuracy? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JMike Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 I've never heard of what you are describing. Sounds as though you may have not put something back together properly. The back plate should be under a good deal of tension. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wgj3 Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 If you purchased one of the "cool" aluminum aftermarket back plates, then it may have a little slop. Mine do. It would not seem that it should do anything to affect accuracy whether tight or more loose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rack&roll Posted April 9, 2014 Author Share Posted April 9, 2014 Yes, I have a retaining plate slide racker made out of aluminum. It is ridiculously loose any wobbley. Recently I've been noticing a lack of accuracy, and I'm just trying to eliminate all possibilities. I also doubt that this is contributing to my "percieved" lack of consistancy in my groups at 25 yrds... (if they can be called groups), but thought I'd give it a shot and ask.

awfaxis Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 I got one of the SSS slide rackers too, and its loose. I cut a long strip of electrical tape, and ran it along the edges of the cap. Nice an snug, and it hasn't worked loose even after 1k rounds of 40. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
