Ok so I have had a Walther P22 now for some time and then I got a Bersa Thunder 380. The Walther P22 was always fun but never that accurate. The Bersa was much better and just as fun. I recently got a Ruger GP-100, my first revolver, and man is it dead on target. I am losing interest in my autos and loving my revolver. The other day at the range I could not do remotly good with the autos but kicked butt with the GP-100. Now I want more wheel guns. Is this a common problem? I was thinking about getting 9mm soon but am not sure what to do now.

please advise
 
Hmmm. How is liking wheel guns more than autos a problem? Lots of people prefer revolvers.
 
I haven't been shooting a lot lately, about the only trigger time I am getting is USPSA club matches and using 'service grade' autos. A couple weeks ago I went out to burn 100 rounds or so testing a modification I made to one of the autos, figured if didn't work I didn't want to go for nothing so I had better take another gun. Well, the ammo shelf isn't very appealing any more as I haven't been reloading much either but there are several one gallon ice cream buckets full of 38's. Hmm, I got some new grips for a K frame in a trade the other day, so I put them on and scooped up a couple hundred rounds and headed out.

My 'service grade' K frame has a lot of miles on it, and it flat SHOOTS!!!! Very accurate still, much more so than any of the service grade autos I have. And I can still shoot it very well.

It doesn't surprise me that your GP is very accurate, mine was too. I also think revolvers in general are nicely accurate, and much more so than standard rack grade autoloaders.
 
For one thing, the Ruger is probably just plain more accurate any low-end auto-loader.

For another, anyone will shoot some firearms better than others. A lot of people find revolvers easier to shoot accurately, especially with a 3+ inch barrel, and especially if they're shooting it single-action.
 
The GP fits your hand better. The Walther, being a .22, may or may not like the ammo you use. .22's are like that. The Bersa isn't a target pistol. Nor is the .380ACP as inherently accurate as the .38/.357. Mind you, comparing the three is an apples and oranges thing. There is no comparison.
