Most accurate handgun you've ever fired?

S&W 41 .22
Colt Gold Cup 45
Colt Python 357

Those are consistently accurate guns. Sure, you may find an exceptional gun of other makes and models, but the above guns have been the most accurate among several examples of the same model of guns.
 
Ruger Super Redhawk .454 Casull 9" barrel with the hammer back, Hornady ammo. 85 yards at a milk jug. Good enough for deer huntin I'd say.
 
For me it'd be the Unique DES that I used at the range when I was learning to shoot a pistol. Certainly more accurate than I am!

I shot a ground hog at a lasered 159 yards with an accurized 1911 in 9mm (Leupold scope). I was pretty happy with the accuracy. (I did have several "walk on" sighter shots over a 3 day period, but finally got zero'd and got him!)
 
My Ruger Old Army with a home cast .457 round ball over 25 grains of FFFG.
I often refer to this piece as my "squirrel rifle".
From rest at 25 yards, 6 shots = 1 ragged hole.

My T/C Contender in .223. Before age and diabetes started wrecking my eye sight it would shoot one hole groups at 100 yrds off sandbags.
 
My Ruger MKIII 22/45 and my SIG X-5 are superbly accurate. My Glock 32 is a close second behind those 2.
 
Is this "Show and tell?" I suspect this engraved Colt Officers Match is more accurate than I can hold and aim. Wonder what causes me to have such a suspicion?

No particular order..These all were very, very close in accuracy
Kimber Raptor 5"
Les Baer PII
Kimber Gold Combat
Kimber Custom TLE customized by Wilson Combat
Kimber Custom TLE
Wilson KZ-45

This is out of many other Kimbers a another Wilson and a Springfield 1911
Crazy thing is I sold or traded them all. I no longer own a 1911. I will by a Les baer again next year...that wil be it. Maybe@#$%#$^(^**...lol
 
S&W 686 6" barrel Stainless 357 Magnum with fairly calm loads I worked up for accuracy using 158g LSWC Flat Point bullets with Unique powder.
 
I got a new Ruger P97 several years ago(when they were still being produced).
It was, and still is, one of the absolute most accurate handguns I have ever owned....
Who says you have to spend big $$$ to get a quality firearm??? :neener:

I can't really say. I mean, when using target handloads, all of my full sized pistols are as accurate as I am, and I don't have a fixed rest to test them for accuracy in controlled conditions.

I'd say the USP45 Tactical .45, the Glock 17L 9mm, and the PX4 .40 are all equally accurate in my hands with the right ammunition.
 
For me it's

1. My Colt Woodsman, built in 1938. I routinely shoot 1 3/4" 10-round at 25 yards from a modified Weaver grip. I suspect it would do a lot better from a Ransom Rest.

2. My Colt Officers Model Target, which will give the Woodsman a run for its money.

3. My Colt M357 (same as the Python, without the cosmetics.) This gun will shoot cloverleafs at 25 yards with my handloads.

4. My Kimber Custom Classic (MK I) -- a bit less accurate than the other three, but not enough to notice.
 
Rock river arms 6" 1911 in .45acp. After app 17,000 rds it still grouped .9" at 50yds from a ransom rest. Jim p
