The most accurate revolver you ever fired ???

[Doubless]

My most accurate revolver is my Freedom Arms. It is the finest made single action I have seen.

What he said... my FA 654 silhouette is so accurate it is scary!

My 617 seems to be the winner in my safe.

Dan Wesson 15V with 6" barrel, followed by a S & W 66-2.

Hard to tell.

I suspect most, if not all, are inherently more accurate than I am

 

[Mule88]

One of my 6 1/2" DX 629's will clover leaf consistently at 50 yards from a rest, this is with iron sights too.

I've owned and/or shot just about every revolver made 30 to 40 years ago. Colt, Ruger, and Smith & Wesson. Most of these revolvers were accurate enough for their intended purpose. That said, I read a couple of entries in this thread about older Model 10 HBs. So, here goes.

In the early 1970s, I bought a new Model 10 HB. This revolver would shoot really good. One day at the range, my buddy had reloaded some 38s that consisted of 95 gr. Sierra HPs, meant for the .380 into a 38 Special case over a healthy dose of Blue Dot. That load was a real pip. Anyway, with that load, I could hit a soda can laying on the backstop of the range at 60 yds. I could hit that can 4 out of 6 times, with every cylinder full I shot. That was standing there holding the revolver target style (one hand on the revolver, and the other in my left front pants pocket). This Model 10 could do that as long as I could. It was the Energizer Bunny with that particular load. I've shot other revolvers that are what I would consider very accurate, including my Dad's pre-Model 15, but nothing could touch that Model 10. And,......dumb old me traded it off back in the 70s.........D___ A__, D___ A___, D___ A___,............

I have a Dan Wesson Vent/heavy 22 with 8"barrel and a 6" standard barrel also. It is without a doubt (for me) the most accurate hand gun i own or have ever shot even considering my Thompson Center contender in 7mm TCU with a scope. It just doesn't have the punch of the T/C especially with the 45-70 barrel

The DW's can be awesome.
This early 10" gun ain't half bad either.

The only revolver I ever owned that was not superbly accurate was a 25-3 125th anniversary model I had in the late 70's. Truly beautiful gun, but it shot patterns. Back in those days I didn't know about the oversize throat issue. I may have been able to make it into a shooter with the right ammo. I was deeply disappointed with that gun and tool a pretty good loss when I sold it.

 

[JimC]

My most accurate revolvers by far would most definitely have to be the brace of 6" Colt Pythons that I used for bulls eye shooting back in the late '60's.
Custom fit Herrett's target grips and 2.7 grs. B'Eye, Rem. 148 gr. HBWC bullets.

FWIW, after thought...neither of these Pythons ever had a single round of .357 Mag. ammo fired thru them. I wish I still had them...

Colt Python for a centerfire, Browning Nomad in rimfire.

 

[Hammerdown]

Hello
The most accurate Center fire revolver that Ihave ever fired is my Pre-25 that shipped let for a five screw being April of 1959. With my hand loads it will make one ragged hole result's @ the 25 Yard line. The most accurate rim fire revolver I have ever fired is my Transitional K-22 that shipped in November 1947

What kind of accuracy?

Inherent accuracy can only be tested with a Ransome or similar rest; a lot of accuracy claims really boil down to which gun a particular shooter for a variety of reasons shoots best. Most high-quality revolvers will shoot better than most people can hold, even off bags.

I agree 100%.
I've always thought that I would like a set of RR inserts for my current 6" Python and check out how well it will do setup on my RR.
Unfortunately, my gun club does not have a solid platform to mount the RR on.

 

[BigBill]

1975 python @ 100yds. I could ping anything.
My norinco 1911a1 shoots clover leafs at 25yds.

I haven't tried my Smith's yet.

Besides back pain I now have vertigo. Not the movie.

 

[USBP SW]

Every revolver I have ever shot in .41 magnum has left me awestruck. I have never found a cartridge/revolver combination in that caliber that was not frighteningly accurate, even with me working the trigger.

I have many Smiths and, as others have said, they are all very accurate. However, an original 1917 .45, that I owned back when I could see itty bitty sights, was the most accurate handgun that I have ever fired. It was absolutely phenomenal and I still have the trophies that I won with it.

Bill Davis Model 10

Does this qualify or is it cheating?

 

[johnyakima]

My most accurate revolver is my 1967 Model 14-2 shooting a
Hornady XTP 125 gr bullet with 6.9 gr. of Unique.

I shot some 110 gr Sierras over 7.0 of Unique in my newest Model 67 last week that worked pretty good, too. The IL Model 67 is very accurate, and I'm happy
