Most accurate 9mm for target/range shooting?

[Sean Smith]

Ok, at 7yds to be fair

Bullseye competitions in the U.S. are shot at 25 and 50 yards.

Not that I'm that good at 25, and aside from hitting large objects for fun don't shoot handguns any further than that. I'm just pointing out the degree of accuracy we are talking about with a true "target" pistol.

The accuracy benchmark for most folks that sell custom bullseye guns in the U.S. is thus 1.5" @ 50 yards. The P210 is in the same ballpark.

But the REAL target pistols are _easy_ to shoot accurately from human hand for longer sessions.

Good and valid point. 20 shots in 20 *minuites!?* Wow I would say at the range I average 2-5 seconds between shots. So far for my skill level, there's no sense in staying on target any longer. Plus, my arms get tired!

My local range only goes to 15 (and I'm a newbie to boot!)

My friend's compact G23 (with stock 5.5lb trigger, my G34 has a great 3.5lb) is 'minuite-of-wine-bottle' accurate at 50yds though, repeatadely. That is about 4" all the same. I wish I could shoot acurately at 50 yds. I'd need a rifle to compete with those guys!

I've been nothing but impressed with Glock's accuracy however.

Also, I have a Kimber Stainless Target II 9mm that is an absolute tack driver and less expensive than any of the above.

"Good and valid point. 20 shots in 20 *minuites!?* "

Yes, and If you are shooting the 20 rds under 10 minutes, you are probably to fast to be accurate.
The top bullseye shooters elevate down their guns, and controlling their breath between each and every shots.

And the top guys are capable above 195 points from the possible 200.
The 10-ring on the ISSF 8-a pistol target is less than 1 inch diameter.
So, the 195 points mean, that at laast 15 of their 20 bullets must landed in the 10-ring.

You need more than a "service auto" for this accuracy.

(No, I am not that good:-((, but I'm training on the same range with such top-guys.)
