My new Ruger with a 4.3 lb trigger right out of the box and rounds that shot a 25cent group at 25 yards.
Almost as good as my series 70 Gold Cup.

+1. How do you quantify "accurate", "super accurate" and "scary accurate"?Sergei Mosin said:Any of them are accurate, within a certain standard. So, what's your standard?
Quarter size group at 25 yards. You are better shot than me with likely sharper eyes.ADKWOODSMAN said:My new Ruger with a 4.3 lb trigger right out of the box and rounds that shot a 25cent group at 25 yards.

Ed Brown guns are capable of producing the accuracy the highest quality ammunition is capable of. With a 45 ACP, this is about 1 1/2" at 50 yards
The Premier II/Custom Carry/Boss 45 - 3" groups at 50 yards
So I am guessing the Ruger was shot from a ransom rest?ADKWOODSMAN said:My new Ruger with a 4.3 lb trigger right out of the box and rounds that shot a 25cent group at 25 yards.

This gets brought up quite often when accuracy of pistols is discussed.Rinspeed said:Most shooters wouldn't be able to tell a accurate versus a really accurate 1911 if their life depended on it. It makes a good errornet thread but even most that think they can shoot pretty much suck, myself included.
Repair shouldn't be an issue, but the Gold Cup does have a wider trigger and some Gold Cup unique parts....the gun is a standard 1911. It can be serviced by any competent smith, can take interchangeable parts with no problem. So, repair, if necessary isn't really an issue.
