I'm sure this will cause a bunch of unnecessary pain, but I'm going to ask anyway. Will start with why I'm asking.
Looking to thin the heard a little and get myself down to one defensive pistol. Thought was going to be an old large frame revolver of my grandfather's, but gonna take too much mechanical work... Just gonna keep it as a memory piece. One of the things that got me to that gun is that I know for a fact I can shoot 4" groups at 50yd with it. Not usual SD range, but never know what's going to happen and all you have is your pistol. I have a bunch of good autoloaders that I shoot well, but not that well. Think a great deal of it is just the guns won't shoot but so good. I inow that is a lot to ask of a mass produced handgun- heck, my Kimber 1911 won't even do it. I have been hearing for years about how good p220s shoot right out of the box, would it be equally unfair to expect a p220 to shoot that well or is that knd of "good" a reasonable expectation?
My fall back is to suck up the price and get a Les Baer that is guaranteed to shoot within that parameter- I win either way.
