I was reading yesterday on the forum about the S&W 952 and how accurate it is and all the reasons it is so accurate it's a beautiful hand built pistol. My question is are there other S&W pistols as accurate at a price a little more affordable I'am retired so the expendable funds are limited.
Thanks as always

Other 9mms or Smiths in general?
I once owned a 952-1.The best version in my opinion,and a great gun.

Judging by the build quality and my hands-on experience with only two others, any Smith & Wesson Performance Center pistol with the Briley titanium spherical bushing -AND- a single action only trigger -AND- a 5-inch barrel -AND- the Wilson or Bomar-type large adjustable rear target sight:

SHOULD be capable of delivering the kind of accuracy that matches or exceeds a 952.

There are many different pistols from S&W that actually fit the above profile, most of them were built in small quantities. Realistically, they should have very similar "value" or prices, but they typically do NOT have prices as high simply because they are relatively unknown, at least in comparison to the 952.

If you are talking guns by any manufacturer that could play in the arena of the 952, please read one of the most very recent posts in the other 952 thread, there is a laundry list of capable handguns there (although none are affordable)

Alternately...
A classic S&W Model 52 certainly can do what a 952 can do, as long as you have access to what has become "specialized" ammo these days.

Are factory wadcutters that hard to find nowadays?

Though they are a genuine departure from the classic S&W style that the 952 is, the 945 is highly capable of that kind of shooting and these can be found on the used market in and around and sometimes UNDER around $1,500.
