Your Most Accurate Handguns?

[ACP230]

Mine are:

Ruger Mark II with Tasco Pro-Point
It helps me look like I know how to shoot Bullseye.

Custom Para P14 .45ACP with Caspian slide and Hybrid Comp.
I shot my best times in bowling pin and steel shoots with this. It shot well enough for use in Outdoor Bullseye matches too.

Old Model Ruger Blackhawk .357 Magnum.
I used it happily in NRA Hunter's Piostol Silhouette for a few years.
Also hunted small game with it.

Colt New Frontier .22 single action.
This has a wide, loud cylinder gap but is one of the most accurate .22 revolvers I have. It beats my Smith Model 18 easily.

[who me]

Well in order, I'm most accurate with my:
1. Ruger 22/45
2. Kimber Eclipse Pro
3. Ruger SP101 .357 3"

Speaking of being accurate today is a beautiful day for the range. :)

[TheeBadOne]

Ruger Mk II 10" BBL

Magnum Research Lone Eagle 7mm-08

Coonan .357 Magnum

[Rangegod]

#1 - Marvel 22 conversion.

Puts the other 39 in the "also ran" category.

JAC

[Mike Irwin]

I'm going to guess at this point and say my Hi Power, my HK P7 PSP, and my S&W Model 58.

I'll be testing the latter two this evening.

[critter]

TC Contender 14" super 14 ss in .223 with 3-9 scope.

HK P7 M8

Para Ord P-16 with Ed Brown aftermarket .357 Sig barrel

[HSMITH]

I have a 10" 223 Contender that is sub MOA out to 300 yards and probably farther if I had some more glass on it. I consider that pretty accurate for a handgun.

Everything else is pretty normal, my Buckmark 22 is right at an inch at 25 yards with decent ammo. My P14 is about the same, as is my new 25-5 and on and on. The only other handgun I have that is above average IMO is an early "new model" Blackhawk 6" 357. It shoots under 6" at 100 yards with me on the handle looking over the stock iron sights. Who knows what it is capable of for sure but I would bet it is really good. I sold a 4" GP100 that would go WAY under an unch at 25 yards too, I should have put a scope on it and seen what it could really do.

I only have one gun that is not average or better and that is a Glock 22. It will only do about 4" at 25 yards with 10 shots and that is all I can get out of it. The sights I put on it are only OK for distance shooting and I have not spent a lot of time developing loads for it.

Most handguns are way more accurate than the guy on the handle.

[Sean Smith]

Ted Yost-customized Colt Delta Elite with Schuemann Ultimatch AET barrel. Sub-1" at 25 yards with cheap ammo. Next step is to see what GOOD ammo can do out of it. Not because I need that sort of accuracy, but just because.

:evil:

[Archie]

Most accurate is a Clark (old man Clark) built 45 Government model. With it's own handloads, it shoots x-rings. (I don't, unfortunately).

A Ruger Mark I, with a heavy barrel and aftermarket trigger put together by a guy named Jim Pollard has to be close runner up.

For heavy calibers, I have a Model 27 Smith & Wesson, and an M29 that go neck and neck with heavy loads. Usually in the sub five inches at 50 yards. (That's off a rest, not me offhand.)

[10-Ring]

My most accurate: P7M8 & Expert 45

[Zip06]

I have Sigs, Glocks, Colt & Kimbers, Rugers, Browning High Powers, Smith & Wessons and CZ's. The most accurate with factory sights is the High Power.

[cleve land]

Post-war Colt Woodsman target model. :cool:

[larryw]

My Ruger Mk II Slabside and USP Expert 45 seem to be equally accurate. I shoot the Ruger a bit better, though. The Valtro is showing strong potential and some load development will surely improve its lot.

[CZ52GUY]

...Bulgarian Makarov

Beyond 10...CZ75B

CZ52'

[Stephen A. Camp]

Hello. I'm not sure which is THE most accurate, but I do my best shooting with:

FN Hi Power Competition 9mm

STI Trojan 9mm 6" Long Slide

STI Trojan .38 Super 5"

STI Trojan .45 ACP 5"

Customized (Lou Williamson) Colt Series 70's .45 ACP

SIG P210

SIG-Sauer P220

Best.

[Mordoc]

No question.

1. S&W 14-4
2. S&W 14-3
3. S&W 17-4

For an Autoloader, Browning Buckmark.

[P95Carry]

22/45 without doubt!

Next to that would be T/C Contender ... but otherwise ....... M27-2 is up there too.

[Shooter973]

My most accurate handgun would have to be a Model 617 with the 10 shot cylinder. This is only a 4 inch barrel but it is just amazing. Another accurate handgun is my Redhawk in 357. It is a 5.5 inch stainless and it is a great shooter with cast bullets. My Ruger 22 autos are good but these others are just a step better. :D

[Standing Wolf]

1978 High Standard Trophy. Not only is it the most accurate, it's the most reliable.

[JoeHatley]

S&W Performance Center 625 V-comp, in .45 acp

http://www.iowatelecom.net/~hatley/625_Vcomp_t.jpg

25 yards, offhand...

Joe

[webley455]

In center-fire it was my Series 70 Gold Cup- it has been surpassed by a USP Expert.

[Ala Dan]

No question, my best shooting is done with my West German SIG-SAUER .45 caliber P220A

Best Wishes,
Ala Dan, N.R.A. Life Member

[P95Carry]

Kudos Joe ... nice one indeed!:)

Was a time, maybe 20 and a few years ago when I used to achieve something similar .. using IIRC a .32 Walther GSP ...... nowhere near steady enough now ... them days is gone!:p

[Tamara]

My Springfield Pro and my Les Baer Concept III.

[Marko Kloos]

Most accurate are probably the two fixed-barrel ones: the H&K P7M8, and the SIG P232.

[duckfoot]

HK USP 45

[rich e]

I had a Smith 686 and a Colt anaconda that were both tact drivers. Honestly from a rest they were deadly accurate. One had a 8 and 3/8ths barrel and the other had a 8 inch one. I felt that if I wanted to lug something that big I would carry a rifle. Wish I still had them.

Now that I consider myself a collector I try not to sell anything.
Rich

[George Hill]

CZ-97.
15 yards, off hand, 3 rounds through the very same .45 caliber hole.

[Stevie-Ray]

In order:
TC Contender, .30-30 Super 14, Leupold 4X
Colt Mark IV, Centaur Systems Quadracomp, Wilson trigger and ejector, Pachmayer sight.
Kimber Ultra CDP II
Ruger KMK-512
Glock 26
H&K USP45C

[DontShootMe]

MkII stainless

[Kamicosmos]

A tie between my Desert Eagle .357 or my Ruger Mk II slabside.

[Spieler]

Argentine Hi-Power, Post-war P-1 and S&W M10. All used guns that aren't real pretty, but they put the rounds where I want them to go and they put real close together!

[MoNsTeR]

My SIG Trailside. The factory test target shows a <1" group at 25 yards. From a rest with cheap ammo, I was able to duplicate it.

[Valkman]

Rimfire: S&W Model 41 w/ red dot scope

Centerfire: Police Trade-In S&W M66 4". Has an action like buttah!

[DMK]

My best shooting centerfire is probably with a Sistema that I got rebuilt and tweaked. It's also one of my favorite CCWs.

Second place would go to my S&W Model 28-2.

Of course, my CZ-Kadet can easily outshoot both, but it's just a .22

[Sven]

My Valtro. Might just be the trigger and tight bushing / lockup.

I think of it as Practical Accuracy to do quick shots from the ready - vs benchrest style accuracy. Today I hit the reactive chest-sized target 19 times out of 20 at 25 yards - 1 second between shots. Getting better, but still a ways to go.

Had some problems with extraction - I don't even feel the slide kiss the receiver during recoil, so prob. need a lighter spring or to spice up the load a bit. Leaning towards the latter. I want a fireball coming out of my .45. That Win 231 seems to do the trick real nice:

Turlock Night Shoot (http://www.thehighroad.org/showthread.php?s=&threadid=42178)

[Black Snowman]

Browning Buckmark 5.5 Nickel Target followed up by my Glock 24 P.

[SnWnMe]

My Model 41 is very, very accurate.

My 6" 629 once put 4 of six shots in the same hole @ 50 yds open sights and over bags.

[Pilot]

Benelli MP95E semi-auto .22 target pistol.

[Ky Larry]

My most accurate handgun is my T/C Contender with 10 inch barrel with 3x-9x scope in .223. Also, my S&W Model 29 .44 mag with a Gilmore Leopold red dot is very accurate.My CZ-75B 9mm is a tack driver. My Kimber Custom Defender II with Crimsom Trace grips will shoot 8shot grours of one ragged hole at 20yards offhand. Last week I bought a S&W Model 17 that I haven't had time to take to the range yet. My dad's 17 is the most accurate handgun I've ever shot so I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

[YodaVader]

For off hand shooting my S&W 41 or Ruger MKII - pictured is the 41 with a 50 yard target shot with one-hand hold. Gun would no doubt shoot all in the X ring if I would do my part!

Accuracy from a rest - my TC Contender 10" 22lr match has fired many groups that would beat rifles. The 357 mag barrel I have would easily win the most accurate of my centerfire handguns.

For revolvers my Smith 629 44 mag and Smith 686 357 mag are nearly equal in accuracy.

[RCL]

There are three of my handguns that I know I can always depend on to produce great groups.
My Ruger Bisley .44 Mag (7 1/2" barrel) is one inch accurate at 25 yards with a couple of loads, the 300 grain Speer softpoint over H110, and a 325 grain SSK bullet over the same charge of H110.
My Freedom Arms .454 with 10" barrel is a one incher at 25 yards shooting either a 300 gr BRP or 335 gr SSK hardcast over a max charge of H110. It also shoots a 300 gr XTP, loaded over H110 in a .45 Colt case, just as well.
I have a .32 Mag Ruger Single Six with 9 1/2" barrel that I have not yet begun to explore the full potential of, but it will shoot the Federal load with the 85 gr XTP into close to an inch at 25. Nice little squirrel gun. ;)
All of these groups were shot rested on bags at 25 yards with open sights.

[Benjamin]

Walther GSP.

[Sean Smith]

http://www.imagemagician.org/images/igc_76543/yost_target.jpg

Just getting warmed up at the range today, offhand at 7 yards. Minor League distance to be sure, but that is 10 shots you are looking at. 8/10 shots you can cover with a nickel ain't bad, at least for me. :D

[Ian11]

SIG P220ST and SIG P226 in 9mm

Yes, I've shot more accurate guns, particularly custom 1911's shooting softball loaded SWC and reloads. But the SIGs I shoot with full power loads/defense loads. Their uncanny accuracy, one of the many reasons I would never part with them. Sweetness!!

[badgerrr]

An old High Standard Model HD Military with a 3X scope....without a doubt the most accurate handgun I've ever used.

But it jams and misfires like crazy. :cuss: Talk about a Love/Hate relationship! :banghead:

[bpisler]

My 2" smith M 15-2 will shot 2" 6 shot groups at 25 yards.3" 65-3 will shot 2.5" groups at 25 yards using my reloads,shooting S/A and offhand,not bad for a couple of stock revolvers.

[Zeus]

it would be my Freedom Arms 454 7.5" barrel. With 300 Grain XTP Magnums over 32 grains of 296, it will easily keep all five shots in 1"-1.5" at 100 yards off the bench. By far, my most accurate revolver. Accuracy and power in the same gun are hard to beat......GS

[m14nut]

My Smith Mountain gun in 45colt

http://pic4.picturetrail.com/VOL54/682422/1274915/34538482.jpg

[makarov1989]

Best of the ones that I own now. In no particular order.

Ruger MK-II
Bersa 23 .22lr
Bersa 383-A .380
S&W 19 6"
Star BM 9mm

Best of the ones that I stupidly sold:
S&W 586
Ruger 22/45
Colt Commander custom .45acp

I miss the S&W 586 so much that I recently purchased another one. I should have it in a few days.

[admar2]

best overall at the range, my Kimber Pro CDP II with a little extra smith work.

however I'm faster, smoother and more accurate with my Beretta 92FS. only because I've had it much longer and practiced, practiced, and oh yeah, practiced with it much more.

[mountainclmbr]

Thompson Contender .44 mag 14 inch bbl 3X scope:

1.5 inches at 100 yds


Colt Series 70 Gold Cup 45ACP:

2.5 inches at 25 yards

[Minute_Of_Torso]

CZ75B (scary accurate) followed closely by a Sigpro SP 2009.

[Peter M. Eick]

Sig 210-5 is best
Les Baer (1.5") 10mm HeavyWeight Monolith is second.
Sig 210-6 is 3rd
Les Baer 45acp Premier II
Any of the H&K PSP P7E's
Any of the H&K PSP P7U's.

That is about my order for best of the really good ones.

[12-34hom]

Mine. 22-250 Savage Stricker.

[JMag]

My most accurate:
Semis first
1. Para P-14 Limited (.45)
2. Sig P239 (.357Sig) tie
2. SigPro 2009 (9mm) tie
3. Glock 30

Wheelies-

1. Colt Anaconda (.44 Mag)
2. S&W 686-4, 6 inch (.357 Mag)

[Slow]

Ruger MarkII Gov't Comp. (slab side) and CZ75BD and Ruger Super Redhawk in .454 my handloads pretty much tie... well, the .22 MarkII is most accurate

[JennYe]

S&W 629 Classic DX 44 Magnum with 8&3/8" bbl.

[RWK]

1) Five inch, P&R'ed, Smith 27-2 (.357 magnum)
2) Four inch, Smith 625-9 Mountain Gun (.45 Colt)
3) Four inch, Ruger, KGP-141 (.357 magnum)

Any of these could be easily and honestly classified as a "tack driver".

[Mute]

1. Colt Python 6"
2. Sig P210

[Dorrin79]

Ruger MKII target model - extremely accurate. Someday I may put a red-dot on just to see how accurate it really is at 50 yds.

FM Hi-Power - most accurate centerfire I own. Does "one ragged hole" at 7 yds.

[RB454]

Did good with the RB454 8 3/8" .. After each trip to "The Range" I have to clean the drool off of it.. It just shoots near one hole groups at 25 yards with the holosight, that's its almost boring off the bench. It is one that no one can buy off of me. (many have tried), but just don't know if I can get another one that will match it.

d.

[Schuey2002]

My current tack driver is a Wildy P7 PSP.. ;)

[ietrash]

Remington XP 100 in 7 MM BR, with Burris 2x7.
Sub MOA all day!:D
