my 3913tsw is good but besides the pro series Smiths and the Super Sig 9s what other 9mms are the most accurate.

I will share my most accurate 9mm and it is not a smith but the 3913tsw is close.


while I realize this is a smith forum, I figure all these gun peps here can appreciate a fine firearm. So, use this thread to share your most accurate 9mm that you own.

I find that all of my guns are more accurate than me. I do have a couple that for one reason or another I seem to shoot better but it is more about my shooting than it is about the gun being accurate. I currently only have 2 9mm's so to answer your question it would be that I can usually group my 3913TSW a little better with less effort than my 6904...but the 6904 is still a sweet shooter and I like them both equally. :)
 
In my experience, the 3.5" barrel 9mm's I have carried/fired have been more accurate than the 4" models. I asked one of the instructors at a recertification about this and he advised they had heard of such reports in the field but couldn't explain if, or why the shorter bbl guns were indeed more accurate. Any other forum members share this experience with the shorter bbl models?
My personal favorite is the 6906.
 
I've tried far too many 9MM pistols over the years! The only TDA or DAO pistols I could shoot well were S&W 3906, Sig P-6 and CZ-75. Finally I decided to trade/sell the DA's to get to what I shoot well-single action autos.

Best of the bunch accuracy wise; a tie between my Browning HP and S&W Pro Series 1911-9MM. The trigger on the Smith is far better, but the high profile target sights on the Browning really help at the range.

Springfield Armory EMP9, closely followed by Sig Navy P226, closely followed by S&W CS9
 
In the hands of one with some skilz my 5906 may be more accurate. But with me on the trigger this is my most accurate 9mm. Certainly for anything past 25 yards. :D

MY most accurate 9mm is an Sig-P6 from West Germany. I traded a 5906 for it because I had 3 of them. After I got it the guy who traded with me told me how he had a trigger job done on it in Colorado.... well he sure did. It has a 2.5 -3# trigger and with it's night sights I can put 1 whole in a target at 25".So technically it is not a stock gun but it is my most accurate.
My most accurate stock gun is my Browning Hp and then my 3913. The 3913 is a real tack hammer.
 
My STI Trojan 9mm is my most accurate 9. Also have a STI Spartan in 9mm that's not far behind. My 5906 does well, but not in the same class as the 1911's.
 
Springfield Loaded 9mm 1911 Target is the most accurate 9mm I've ever owned. In S&W, it would be a toss up between CS9 or 908.
 
How about the most accurate gun period, that just happens to be in 9mm. I to fell for the Novak and have smith and hipower in such for what its worth on my ransom rest an average of 5 strings there is zero improvement on accuracy. only my SVI is match for these third generations.

I don't own a 9mm at this time, but the pre-B CZ75 I had for a while years ago was far, far more accurate than I. A 469 wasn't half bad either.
 
This may sound silly, but for me I only have three S&W firearms and out of my 3, the 9mm Shield kicks cans better than any other.

I have to agree that for its size and weight, the Shield is a pretty good shooting pistol. I've used mine on plates, and it performed better than expected. Not in the same league with the 1911's, but good nonetheless.
