Most accurate handgun you've ever fired?

The Remington XP 100 is the most accurate handgun I have ever shot I have put 5 rounds into 1.375” at 200 yards. The SVI is the most accurate semi auto I have shot and python for revolver.
 
Right now it would have to be a Colt Diamondback 22.

I know there are others out there though. Like this Erma Target 22 I am lusting after....
 
For me, it's the Walther P88C, followed closely by the Walther P5. For whatever reason, those two ring the bell every time out; nothing else I've tried or own comes close (though the P99 is pretty good). Not all guns fit a person's hand and eye the same, of course, which is likely the reason why you'll see such a variety of guns listed in this thread. I've tried a few of the guns that are listed here, including a Ruger Charger, and can't produce the results I do with the P88C.
 
My Browning Challeger II amazes me every time I shoot it. It's almost intuitive. I believe it puts a bullet exactly where it's aimed, every time. Now if I could just aim in the same spot every time.
 
HK P9s, 9mm or 45 target.......one of the most amazing guns there is.

I supect the Sig 210 would do as good or better, but aint sprung for one to find out.

my S&W m41 is a close 2nd
 
HK P9S, with such a thick barrel you would expect it to be dead nuts accurate.
 
6 1/2" 357 Ruger Blackhawk would shoot 1" or less groups @ 25 yd with just about any 158 gr load.

Yep. A three screw Ruger Blackhawk in .357 mag. Scary accurate, and I can't shoot a handgun worth a dang for the most part.
 
I've had amazing luck in owning a very Hi Power and CZ 75. I couldn't tell the difference between them and my HK P7.

Sight in target for my CZ 75 from the Ghost Holster custom shop.

I would have to say my Kimber 1911. I have other 1911s but this one seems to be most accurate, All of my 1911s have trigger work done to them so its not that.
 
Wonder why noone has mentioned Hammerli?

The one time I benched my Hammerli 208s I was able to get repeatable 1" 10 shot groups at 50 yards, outside, using CCI SV, with an Ultradot.

That same day I also tried it with my Ruger MK II SST Government Model, and was able to get 1.375" 10 shot groups.

Considering it was me doing the shooting with no magnification, I thought that was pretty good. I suspect that if I tried a bunch of good ammo to find what the pistols really like and use high power scopes I could easily cut those groups in half.

Because of their solidly mounted barrels, regular semi-auto .22 LRs are likely to have more mechanical accuracy than almost any centerfire semi with a moving barrel or a revolver. Chances are a $300 Buckmark/MK II will outshoot a $1500 custom 1911 at 50 yards. Of course there are exceptions, and this has nothing to do with whether or not you can shoot it better.
 
The most accurate pistol I've ever fired was a civilian version of the H&K Mark 23. I have a friend of the family who works for a police department and he was able to get his hands on one.

No exaggeration. It was the most amazing pistol I've ever held. Not that I sot that well, but it can achieve 1" groups at 25 yards.
 
range accuracy vs field accuracy? hard to say.
i have a little colt .380 auto that my grampa gave me that i can hit with blindfolded, just because i feel his hand on my shoulder every time i present it to the target.
as far as genuine hunting-grade accuracy, i have a Ruger BH and a SBH that shoot WAY better than i do.
amazingly enough (to me) i have a pair of Heritage Arms .22lr/.22WMR combo SA revolvers in 7" and 10" barrels that are just plain uncanny accurate. what a great buy for the money!
