Here's a question:
What handgun format do you think is more accurate? Revolver or pistol?
What handgun format do you think is more accurate? Revolver or pistol?
And I've got at least three or four $500 revolvers that will do 2"@50yds as well.That's 1.97 inches or less at distance of more than 54 yards. Some of the target versions, all production guns, came with targets that measured under an inch at 50 meters.
If one is more accurate than the other it has nothing to do with the action type.
I don't know where you guys come up with this stuff. Many have obviously never done much bench testing with handguns and are going strictly by "seat of the pants" impressions.Pistols are more accurate, but revolvers, for most, are easier to shoot accurately.
This statement is pure folly.bench rested is pure folly.
It absolutely does matter. I see statements like this all the time and it makes zero sense. All things being equal, the shooter will always shoot more accurately with a more accurate weapon. Period. End of story. If one firearm is capable of 1" at 25yds and another is only capable of 3" at 25yds, you will definitely shoot more accurately with the former than the latter. Maybe a more correct statement would be that YOU can't see the difference in YOUR shooting.IMHO, I don't think it matters which is more accurate. The shooter is the weak link when it comes to handguns.
Here's a 4" revolver, a 629MG to be exact. It shoots into 2"@50yds if I do my part. Now show me a $500 service auto that does the same.Let's do this. Take a semiauto with a TRUE 4" barrel, meaning the length from where the bullet sits in the chamber to the end, and compare it to a 4" revolver.
I disagree. 25yds is plenty and is the standard for very good reasons. Unless the two guns you're comparing are capable of 1" at that distance, the difference will be clear.Overall, I agree that 25 yards isn't far enough to tell about accuracy
Of course not every group but on average. Yes, factory guns. Although the above pictured 629 has an action job and two of the others have since been modified cosmetically.Every group? Open sights? Straight from the factory?
