Try some Federal Hydra-shok loads (124 gr)and see if the premium ammo does any better; it's expensive, but if it works well, carry/use the Hydra-shok and practice with the fmj.

Beyond that, contact Novak's shop in Parkersburg, WV. They have one man (Roger Echard) that specializes in S&W. My 3913 will shoot more accurately than most of my full size guns. Many times, all that is required is to re-crown the factory barrel (used to be $25, not sure current cost). Roger can work wonders with the little Smith.

I would give S&W the first chance to make it right...give them a call, explain the problem, see what they advise. That should be a free repair.
