I don't own many handguns, but the two I have are both SIG's. A P229 in 9mm and a P220 in .45ACP. I shoot okay with them, but hit a point where I just don't get any better. One of the employees at my local gunstore/firing range tried them and they worked great for him. He was very accurate with them.
Fast forward 3 years. I just bought my first revolver, a S&W model 686 Plus - 7 shot .357Magnum. I purchased some plinking .38sp ammo and took it to the same range.
I put a target back 25', like I usually do and fired all 7 shots with about a 3 second aim in between each. Guess what? I grouped 4 of the 7 shots in about a 3" ring. I was NEVER this accurate with my P229. I was shocked.
I loaded up 7 more and fired away at a new target. Almost the same.
I couldn't believe it. With just 10 minutes of practice, I was more accurate with my new SW 686 than I ever was with a SIG semi-auto.
Call me a convert.... I'm looking for more S&W revolvers to add to my collection.
