What is the fastest firing handgun that you can shoot accuratelly

[Zaydok Allen]

I seem to shoot my 1911, HK45, and S&W 3" 686 all at about the same firing rate while rapid firing. I probably practice with all of them equaly, so it makes sense.

 

[WC145]

I had a S&W 1911 9mm Pro Series, it was a very easy gun to shoot fast/accurately.

 

[mavracer]

I'll echo what others have said that platform makes little difference, one cavet would be the amount of recoil that I can cope with before it becomes a determining factor in split times.

 

[Glocktogo]

Outside a good .22LR, for me it's a 5" steel framed 9mm 1911. With 147gr subs loaded to 130PF, that gun just lays there.

Do you guys carry the guns you are speaking of?

 

[PBR Streetgang]

If you can find a copy of Ed McGiverns "Fast and Fancy Revolver Shooting" grab it and read........You will be surprised and impressed..............

 

[peacebutready]

Try the CZ 75B 40sw,,,,the weight allows me to shoot 13 rounds, following the sights, through recoil, easily.

The 9mm version for me. How much more does the .40 recoil?

 

[Glocktogo]

Do you guys carry the guns you are speaking of?

Why? Does it matter?

 

[B!ngo]

Yes, the H&K P7's for me as well. Once cocked, the trigger is light and short, the bore axis is low and the weighting allows quick targeting while remaining stable.
And here in CA most can't 'carry' them, but I have a few P7's which are all shooters.

If you define accurately as hitting 8" steel plates at 10 yards, I can't beat my times using my 9mm AR pistol with SIG SB-15 with any other gun, except maybe a .22lr.

Proved to me the old saying "your pistol is so you can fight your way back to your rifle".

 

[Teachu2]

My Ruger .22/45 with the VQ trigger group is the fastest.

My G26 is the fastest in a centerfire - for some reason, it just fits me perfectly to just stack the holes as fast as I can reset the trigger. The timing just syncs for me.

My 75B is close, but it cycles a bit slower.

 

[Morgo]

S&W 52 gets a mention. Emptied the mag once with all the brass still in the air whilst shooting a respectable group all in the black.

 

[Fiv3r]

My Ruger mkiii is fast an accurate. Makes sense, low recoil, fixed barrel, etc.

From a defensive gun I would carry, my 1911. Great trigger reset, handles the recoil, and hard hitting.

 

[jad0110]

Ahhh, I did forget about my mom's Hi Standard Supermatic Citation. I can shoot that one faster and more accurately than anything else. Centerfire wise though, it is the S&W K / L Frames for me.

 

[aarondhgraham]

I can't rapid fire anything accurately,,,

It doesn't matter which handgun,,,
I can't rapid fire anything accurately,,,
So I don't even try except for playing at the range.

The best I can do is a triple-tap,,,
The first two shots are in center mass,,,
But the third will invariably creep up and be high.

So I only practice double-taps,,,
Besides, I read about and see on videos,,,
Too many cops dump a magazine and hit nothing.

Carrying an LCP,,,
I only have two triple-taps,,,
So I practice double-taps for accuracy.

Another vote for the P7PSP. Easy to shoot quick and accurate.

Of any of them it would be my Ruger MK II, but for something I actually carry it would be my colt 1903 pocket hammerless in .32. Very, very little recoil and brisk reset.

High point 40. Then you can throw it!



Just kidding!

"I guarantee that, no matter the handgun, I can keep all my shots inside an indoor shooting range jerking that throttle as fast as I can."

Let me tell you, it's easier with a Sig X-5 Tactical. It was one of my impulse purchases when I was looking for another Italian O/U. Go figure. Beavertail, night sights, longer barrel (plus a half an inch of threaded barrel), clean 4.5 SA trigger. Everybody tightens their groups - or patterns - with it.

Sig P210 = good. X-5 TAC = easier. And 18 rounds, too.

I have been shooting quite a few guns for rapid triple taps the last year...the standard is 3 shots in one second in to a group that can be covered with one hand (4") at 21'. I can do it with several guns now including my Beretta Px4 subcompact, my Glock 26, and my Dan Wesson 15-2VH with snubbie barrel and .38 handloads and my Ruger LCR with .38 handloads.

The fastest and absolutely most accurate in this rapid fire trick is my Colt 1903 in .32 acp....just tried 'em out Friday. Nothing beats my 96 year old Model M with hot hand loads in point shooting for speed. The 9mm is fast - the .32 can put 4 on target in the time I can put 3 9mm on the same target. Slightly smaller spread as well with the .32.

For me it is a glock. Specifically a glock in 9mm such as a 17 or 19.

Mr. Borland has set the table. Now, allow me to pour the coffee.

An elder student of the gun once said, "Smooth is fast."

It is your gun. Those are your arms, your eyes, your brain. You learn how your gun acts and reacts in your hand.

You learn that no matter how your arms are 'out there', it might be one inch of moving one of your feet. Your eyes are unique to you, whether they are eagles' eyes, crossed eyed, other eye dominant, or some genetic thing, that gives you, your view on the world, and your brain compensates. Accept that, and make it work better, for you.

I have 2 Browning Hi Powers that I can throw a lot of lead with very well, and be satisifed.

However, I do not carry them. I carry revolvers. Less to throw in the Murphy mix.

Again, depends on definition of accuracy. In my younger days, I did pretty well on the IPSC circuit with a lightly modified Springfield Armory 1911, and later with a .40 STI hicap.
