I've never really tested a firearm for accuracy in it's own right, but as a gun / shooter combo my 4" S&W Model 19-3 and I are pretty good. At 10 yards we manage a dead center 2.5 inch group of 12 shots in 11 seconds without the use of a speedloader. Both the gun and I have fired a lot of rounds to make this possible.

 

[HGUNHNTR]

HK USP Tactical .45ACP

 

[45crittergitter]

Ruger MKII .22 Government Competition Model. It may just be my most accurate gun period.

 

[Morgo]

Toss up between my .38 Super 1911's, S&W 41's and S&W 52.

 

[UniversalFrost]

beretta 92FS.... super accurate out of the box and can eat up the 10x out to 30 meters with no problems...

second accurate is the ruger 22/45 mk III with 4" target barrel ....

 

[funkeecowboy]

Colt Series 70 mkiv, d@mn accurate gun!

 

[GETxSOME]

I only currently own 2 handguns, but between a S&W Model 64 and my FNP-9, the FNP-9 wins by a hair.

 

[CharlesT]

High Standard Supermatic Citation Military model 7.5 fluted barrel.

 

[Jonah71]

CZ75B makes a bad shooter shoot good

I'll give up an "amen" to that.

 

[Hooptie]

Box stock 1953 Romanian TT33. I'm too lazy to shoot targets, but its accurate enough to shoot keys off a junk keyboard at 20 yards.

 

[Bentonville]

HK P7 or HK45c

 

[bannockburn]

Most accurate rimfire pistol-Ruger Mk.II with a 5 1/2" bull barrel

Most accurate centerfire pistol-Colt Combat Commander from Colts Custom Gun Shop.

 

[forindooruseonly]

Hammerli 208 or Walther GSP. I can't tell a difference on a ransom rest, but I shoot the Hammerli better.

 

[45crittergitter]

Most accurate rimfire pistol-Ruger Mk.II with a 5 1/2" bull barrel

Most accurate centerfire pistol-Colt Combat Commander from Colts Custom Gun Shop.

So which is the most accurate?

 

[Buck Snort]

Its a tossup between my Wilson Combat CQB and my Freedom Arm 7" Model 83.

 

[Buck Snort]

... all original.


25 Yards, double action 2 hand hold unsupported. 1 shot every 5 to 7 seconds. 158 grain RNL and 4.0 grns W231. 3" overall grouping. Excluding 1st two shots (high), after grip adjustment, the final 4 shots (low) went into a 1.25" grouping.

That's pretty doggone good shoot'n.

 

[Hanshi]

Easy, my 35 year old High Standard Victor .22LR.

 

[troyriser]

My Model 14-2 S&W .38 Special Target Masterpiece, a gun I luckily inherited. I've used it to train friends and family members on pistol shooting and marksmanship fundamentals partly to instill confidence (even gun-shy beginners can hit center-mass consistently with this piece) and partly because I can analyze their problems more precisely when I study the target patterns. The fault is never with this revolver. It has the sweetest trigger of any weapon I've ever fired.

Strangely enough, my cap-and-ball Pietta Navy '61 .36 cal. is my next most accurate. It fits naturally in the hand, points like a dream.

1st - Ruger MKII Target (6 7/8 tapered barrel) - routinely groups under 1" at 25 yards (bench rested) with Winchester Super-X .22. 2nd - (tie) Ruger GP100 6" full lug barrel and Ruger Super Redhawk 9.5" barrel (with scope) - routine 1" groups at 25 yards with a variety of full power and mid-range handloads, running .357 (not 38 .special) in the GP100.

As far as revolvers go, I would have to agree with you on the model 14 Target Master. I have an old 1958 with a 4"bbl that is fantastic. The only time I have trouble getting tight groups with it is when I've downed way too much coffee before an early trip to the range. S&W sure did put out some accurate revolvers. Don't know much about newer models. Haven't shot any of them lately. The newest S&W I have is a '74.

 

[roadliner]

Of all my auto's, my Norinco 1911. Over all,my S&W 6" 686 is probably more accurate when shooting out to 50yds. Scoped, it's the Super Redhawk with 180 gr. handloads.

Friends Kimber Eclipse custom 2 Target pistol in 10mm
Can shoot 1in cube wood blocks at 25yards all day.
Guy who he bought it from was a serious comp shooter for 50yd Handgun

High Standard Double Action .22LR Nine Shot w/6 inch barrel.

It is the handgun I shoot best. There is a desert area that unfortunately has had a lot trash thrown out in. Actually, people have been trying to clean the area up. There are still old tin cans all over the place and nice dirt trails zig- zagging all over the area. It is a plinkers heaven.

Offhand, out to about 25 yards, I can hit most cans within one or two shots. This afternoon I was walking around another area. Someone had shot some clay targets on the side of this dirt mound. I was about 15 yards away. With the same revolver, I was easily making the clay target pieces smaller and smaller.

I know there is a lot of controversy over using rimfire handguns for self defense. Granted, they are not the best. But, if I kept my cool, I could put all nine rounds into a persons face at any distance the qualifies as a self defense distance.
