I have a Model 952-2 set up for bullseye identically to my Model 52-2. Using 150 grain LSWCs with an appropriately constructed load (crimp, OAL, powder) the 952 is as accurate as my 52 shooting 148 grain HBWCs. With both I can easily get 5 shot groups of 1" at 25 yards off sand bags.
To get the 952 to shoot well you need three things: get the TP pull and over travel to be the same as a 52, use the right load, and use a good quality optical sight. Both of my guns have TPs of 2.5 lb and Ultradot L/T optics on them with BME mounts.
BTW the 952 is a little easier to shoot well because the slide cycles faster so follow through is not as critical as it is with a 52.
