Which pistol do you shoot best offhand (fast draw/double tap) at 10-15 yards?

Which pistol do you shoot best offhand (fast draw/double tap) at 10-15 yards (9mm+)?

I find that although some pistols produce smaller shot groups off sandbags/pistol rest, this doesn't necessarily translate when it comes to fast draw/fast fire/double taps as some pistols that don't produce smaller shot groups off sandbag/rest can actually produce smaller shot groups offhand when fast drawn and fired fast/double tapped.

What's been your experience?

And this is for 9mm and larger calibers.

I suspect you'll get a wide variety of answers here, as it seems to be the one that fits the hand the best is a "natural pointer" and therefore the most accurate. For me and me alone, that translates to a CZ-82 and/or a Browning Buckmark Camper, both a veritable extension of my forearm.

 

[bannockburn]

For me a customized Colt Combat Commander and a Browning Hi-Power work best in a fast draw/rapidfire sort of setting.

My G19 for a CF pistol and my .22lr 1911 for RF pistol. Mostly because I shoot them the most of any firearm I own.

9mm CZ 75 Shadow Custom.

I also find, I can't use a FIRM bench support to adjust the sights. If I do, it won't hit POA free hand. Adjusting the sights off a bench rest with JUST my forearms supported, works okay.

On multiple fast shots, I've been stringing down some. I already have a light recoil spring, so I increased the PF on my reloads. My groups have tightened up in fast pairs or more shots---like on steel gongs.

Most accurately w/ two handed slow fire; P35 Hi Power
Sufficiently accurately w/ one/two handed rapid fire; Remington R51 (no draw allowed at my ranges , but by far the fastest to pick up from the shooting bench in front and fire; fastest of CZ52, five-seven, TRR8, Hi Power, and my others are all obscure/impractical curiosities )

I shoot with a full-size M&P9. Even with the mediocre trigger it feels so natural and feels as easy as pointing at what I want to hit, and it hits it. Plus it's one of the most controllable 9mm pistols I've ever fired, which makes accurate rapid fire easy.

Centerfire, it's a toss-up between my Bersa Thunder in .380, and my Ruger P95.

Rimfire, probably my Phoenix HP-22A, though I cannot remember trying it with my Ruger Mk-II in recent years.

SR45 hands down.

 

[AirForceShooter]

My 1911.
A good part of it is that I've used this gun for 30 years.

I'm getting a lot better with my new Colt Mustang XSP though

I shoot my fnx-9 pretty well in that capacity if it's cocked and locked, but I think my Springfield 1911 out shoots it by a hair. Extra inch of barrel, plenty of weight, low pressure round. She's a tackdriver.

 

[Vodoun da Vinci]

Glock 26 and Beretta Px4 subcompact are the best fastest at 21'. My Colt 1903 .32 from a coat pocket is .2 seconds slower but more accurate from a point/triple tap due to the lower recoil.

Most accurately w/ two handed slow fire; P35 Hi Power
Sufficiently accurately w/ one/two handed rapid fire; Remington R51 (no draw allowed at my ranges , but by far the fastest to pick up from the shooting bench in front and fire; )

Second that.

 

[mgmorden]

Its a close tie between the STI Spartan and the M&P 9L. I've got about 9000 rounds through the M&P though and about 500 through the Spartan, so I'm guessing that EVENTUALLY I'll be better with the Spartan.

I will say that the trigger on a 1911 is just amazing. Superbly better than anything else I've tried, but I still like the ergos and "feel in the hand" of the M&P.

 

[jjones45]

Used to be 1911 all day long, now my walther ppq is draw and double tap champ

 

[Walkalong]

Auto? 1911

 

[mnhntr]

1911

 

[Ankeny]

I would say a 2011 or a good 1911. Then again the term fast is relative. Are you talking sub one second draws with splits in the .12-.14 range?

 

[BlindJustice]

Most of my shooting at the indoor range I frequent is
not slow fire.

1. 1911 Milt Sparks OWB rig
1a CZ 75B 9x19

I do practice Double Taps with a
S&W 625 5" bbl. in DA shooting
.45 ACP full moon clips but it's a
range gun, I don't have a holster
for the 45 oz empty n-frame. But
it's very accurate.

It doesn't matter much which gun....

The platform I shoot all the time and more than all others combined, M1911.

Yes, "fast" is subjective to each shooter.

What I was trying to gather was which pistol each shooter found to be the best from their collection when drawn fast and shot fast (double tap preferred) at 10-15 yards. For me, that's under one second. For another shooter, it may not be.

My second inquiry is whether this pistol produces the smallest shot groups when shot slowly off sandbags/pistol rest or another pistol in the collection.

And I should have mentioned, no smaller than 9mm (comment added to the OP).

Thank you for the replies!
