What's the most accurate handgun you've fired?

accurate

Most accurate handgun that I have fired.
This one....a Pardini Free Pistol....full wraparound olivewood grips, .22LR, a two ounce trigger fully adjustable.
It is used for Precision match shooting at 50 yards/meters. One of only two pistol events in the Olympic games. 60 shots, plus sighters in two and a half hours.

Without a doubt, it's my old High Standard Victor 22LR. I've won a ton of rimfire matches with it... AND over the years, i've owned a pile of handguns to compare it to...

my old High Standard Victor 22LR.

One of the true classics.....arguably the best American made target gun ever produced.

High Standard Victor. One ragged hole.

Actually my HS Sharpshooter Model M shoots just as well.


(and funny... I posted this without looking at the second page of the replies and see that I was beaten to the answer. Edited to add this..)

Hi Huntershooter. Glad you like that 5" stainless Baer, I did the checkering on the frontstrap and the mainspring housing. I also did the frame to slide fit, which might have a slight bit of play by now. Because stainless galls so much if not fitted properly and lapped in a bit by the assemblers; we don't offer 1 1/2 inch at 50 yards with stainless guns. Glad yours shoots well.
As for the most accurate pistol Ive ever shot, it was A Smith K-22 made in 1948. It liked almost any brand of ammo, I never did find a favorite.

Colt Camp Perry in .22LR.

I had a Browning Buckmark Silhouette with a Leupold 4X pistol scope and a Harris bipod on the forend. It would literally stack round after round into a single enlarged hole. My buddies I shot with hated that gun. It would routinely outshoot their .22 rifles. If it was in range of a .22LR, it wasn't safe. I killed a water moccasin that was crossing a strip pit with a single shot to the head at over 100 yards. I'd call it a fluke, but I'd shot thousands of rounds out of it. It was the most monotonously on target gun I've ever shot. My buddies didn't even flinch when I did it, they just called me a bad word and resumed thinning the turtle popuation.

mI had the pleasure of shooting a guys STI 1911 equipped with a Serendipity red dot sight. Caliber was 38 Super. If you put the dot on something it hit it. Almost made me think I was a good shot.

In my case the two most accurate handguns are in no particular order my CZ 82 / 9 MM Makorov and my 45 ACP M & P. They are both accurate beyond belief with my handloads.

Didn't Hi Standard make a very limited "10-X" model, which was a step up from the Victor?

 

[PlumRotten]

Same wildcat!

Sure it was. After the first shot, I just murdered its' dead body.

 

[clance]

The most accurate handgun that I have fired was a 70s Colt Python .38/.357 with a 6" barrel.

The most accurate handgun(s) that I own are a pair of Smith & Wesson 586/686 in .38/.357 with 6" barrels.

For a stock gun the 1911 is pretty hard to beat

 

[WaywardSon]

Like an earlier poster, mine is probably a K-22 Masterpiece manufactured in 1948...made some amazing shots with that one. However I have to say that my two Ruger MkII bull barrel guns will shoot with anything I've ever picked up.

 

[22-rimfire]

My most accurate is probably a High Standard Victor (22LR) that I have owned a long time.

 

[Hondo 60]

Ruger Redhawk in 44 Mag, S&W Model 10-5 (38 spl) & a Uberti 45 Colt.

All three can wipe a gnats butt without killin the gnat.

 

[WC145]

This Austin Behlert custom 1911 is my most accurate piece, it's like you think about where you want the bullet to go and there's a hole there.

I have some accurate handguns but without question the king of the hill in my collection is my Colt National Match 45. It is pre series 70 and sports the Elliason sights.

Pardini SP: 10 shots, match ammo.

 

[Hurryin' Hoosier]

Believe it or not, I honestly think that the "new-in-box" 1974- vintage CZ vz.70 (7.65MM Browning) is the most accurate new handgun I've ever fired (at least at 7 yards). Other than 8 rounds which were fired at the factory in Uhersky Brod, I don't believe that the little booger had ever been fired. Sweet little gun.

I know some of you are reading this for the second time but, well, sorry.


I have a Taurus 85 that is a freak of nature. I bought it in Anchorage for $200. A guy brought it into the shop on consignment and I bought it from him at the counter. We each gave the shop owner ten bucks and everyone was happy.

Me and the gun shop owner are friends and a few weeks later we take it, along with many other guns, out to the rang. For whatever reason I break the 85 out first and, at ten feet, put all five shots right down main street. Wow I think. THat is cool I give it to my buddy and he does the exact same thing.

By the time we are done we have backed it up to about 25 feet and have not found a more accurate weapon including a python a WW1 era 1911, a Sig 226 among others. We did have a couple of 1911's that could stay with it, but nothing more accurate.

We get back to town and, of course, nobody believes us. So the next weekend we are back out at the range with four other people and, sure enough, all four are just lights out with it.

I understand these guns are not engineered to be that accurate but for whatever reason this one is. I somehow ended up with a very unique gun.

For a while I safe queened it just because of its uniqueness but I realized how silly that was for a Taurus 85. I carried it today.
