You need something better than the Walther/Umarex pistols. Something like a Ruger 22/45, Mark II or III, Browning Buckmark, or a S&W 17/18/617 is capable of far better than 5" at 25 yards. I imagine a CZ Kadet or any number of the 1911 conversions will shoot 2" as well.
+1 to the above. as well as the previous posts by wanderinwalker
.or a smith 41, or hamden ct hi-standard supermatic can be added to the above list, as well as some of the colt woodsman models
big diffrence between a target 22 and a plinker 22..
Can practicing with a small caliber pistol with little or no recoil, that I personally would never carry for personal protection ( I'm sure I won't hear the end of this one), help to improve our shooting accuracy?
spdracr39, the answer is yes... wanderinwalker said it better than I in post 6
the rimfire/centerfire pairs share the same weight or close, same trigger,grips,sight picture, feel and are close to same accuracy.
there is a lot to be said for that.
try them in a S&W 14/17 or 15/18 combination
or 617 or 17(or 18)/66(or 19) with same barrel length
or a cz 75 or 85/kadet
i'm going to try a advantage arms target conversion on a 1911..
all the above will give 2"..
