Most accurate 'stock' pistol?

Michael Zeleny,

You may be familiar with the principle that the quality of the outcome depends less on the tightness of the tool than on the skill of its wielder. ;)

Guess the "C's" in their "CNC's" use better zeroes and ones than the "C's" in our'n, huh? ;)

Actually, they use more zeroes. To recap the punchline to a joke utterly irreproducible in this venue, it's entirely different, but it's the same thing.

H&K P7M8 or P9s. These guns are extremely accurate and involve no hand fitting. As their detractors often point out, they are simply CNC machined and stamped steel. Alas, the P9s is no more. But I did just buy a NIB .45 P9s target.
 
Most every gun that I have owned, and this includes snub nosed J-frames, is capable of better accuracy than I am able to obtain without using a rest.

Since most of my handgun shooting is preparation for self-defense, I have never been concerned unless I can't obtain "minute-of-man" accuracy during rapid fire.
 
How about this? What's the best accuracy for the $ and exclude nothing? I bet the CZ 97B comes out real close to the top if not there.

Since this is the autoloader forum I won't mention that my Taurus 669 with full power 38 specials is my most accurate handgun, as well as my cheapest. ;)

Rapid fire accuracy goes to my Glock 24P, but I have over $900 invested in the gun and it was a short run of special competition pistols.

Out of the box my CZ 75B and CZ 85 Compact are about tied for my autoloaders with Kamicosmos' CZ 97B being as good or slightly better depending on how I'm shooting that day :)
 
Let me preface this by saying, I am not an uber shooter. I've never shot any of my pistols from a Ranson rest or anything like that. Having said all that, the most accurate pistol I have shot is the CZ75 SA in .40. I would have bought the 9mm if the dealer had one, but .40 was what they had. What a shooter though. I have other pistols (Sig 226 9mm stamped slide, 225, Glock 19, USP45F, SA Loaded 1911, Beretta 92FS & Neos, Ruger Mark II, and 2 P7 PSP's). The CZ, in my hands wins hands down as the most accurate pistol I have fired.
 
Here's the test target that came with my Les Baer UMC 1.5 This is 10 rounds fired from a Ransom Rest at 50 yards. That's a .75" group, measured center-to-center (the only fair way to judge group size -- groups should not be penalized for shooting a large caliber). 1.2 - .45 = .75

Les Baer

is a great pistol but i would not call it stock maybe super stock or custom or semi custom.for me the SIG p229 is super accurate and the p229 sport is even more accurate thanks,keith
 
Just to be contrary, I will add the Thompson Contender (the Remington pistol and the MOA MAximum also qualify) Yeah I know they are more like a snub nosed rifle, but as far as out an out accuracy for a pistol platform these are hard to beat. I know filters have been applied to this thread as it goes along, but before the 22 cal was filtered the Anchutz 22 cal pistol would have made the list also.

If I was looking to consistantly get 1" groups at 50 yards, from a pistol the above would be the few entries on a very short list. All the other listings at best will do double that, with the right ammo, and the stars and moon in alignment. I also wouldn't have a clue what is the correct tack driving cartridge for the above SS pistols, I will throw out a 6MM PPC would be a good start and work more accurate from there.

Oh, I know this isn't what you were thinking of, but most accurate, non 22, and stock were left after filters and these fit. I certainly wouldn't do a dollar a shot, run against a scoped one of these pistols, with any revolver or auto platform. Seems a quick way to loose a fair amount of money in a hurry.

You can call it what you want, but the pistol I posted the target from and picture of is totally stock from the factory. 1.5" MOA from a rifle is pretty good, but from a semi-auto pistol it's very impressive no matter what you call it.

you could call

my mcbros 50 bmg LBR stock. i don't think the guys you out shoot with it would call it stock.Les Baer maybe stock but the price is custom. you would have trouble trying to do something to it to make it more accurate because it is so accurate already.
 
Well, you can call it what you want but for my 66 year old eyes I'll settle for this.
At 50 yards the 11x8 inch paper targets just looks like bird poop on the plywood.::D
