(Warning: Apples vs oranges vs bananas)
Because of the nature of the design of the revolver, I understand that you are going to get more accuracy for your dollar (at entry level quality) with it than you are with an auto loader.
My question is- in general, how much more should I expect to pay to get comparable accuracy as my GP100? Of course it didn't surprise me that I couldn't get as tight of groups with a G17 (maybe with an aftermarket fitted barrel it would have).
What did surprise me, is that after falling in love with this T9 from the moment I held it, then reading the performance reviews- according to which it groups on par with a glock! They refer to typical "4 + 1 auto syndrome", but in the same breath they praise it's accuracy, and Kahrs accuracy in general.
I don't compete, so I know it seems like it shouldn;t matter. Still, I don't want to take a step down in accuracy, especially if I am paying twice as much. It's just a huge part of the fun for me to see how little of the target I can damage from how far away.
So is it rare to find an auto with comparable accuracy to a revolver at sub $800 entry level (aside from 1911's, which are probably the only correct answers to this dilimma)?
Any relevant insight appreciated.
