Coincidence, but my niegboor just got a SA Loaded 9mm (non-target, the only difference is the sights). He let me shoot it this morning and I let him shoot my Para and custom RIA 9mm for comparison. I wasn't too impressed by the accuracy, and we did have one FTE only shooting 50rnds of RWS NATO spec ammo. Groups I get with the Para were 1" at 15 yards, the RIA 2", and the Springer was close to the RIA at 1.75", all supported with my hands on a table and all with the RWS. My RIA likes the Blaser 147gr and groups them best, usually around 1.2" at 15 yards. The Para likes the Win 124gr +P PDX1 and groups them into .5" at 15yards on a good day. I really can't speak for what the springer liked, it's just too new. It certainly was comfortable and fun to shoot, but the fit just wasn't all that great as I've seen in other examples.

His was shooting about an inch left and and 2" low, which is odd for me. I'm usually high right if anything.
