The most accurate revolver you ever fired ???

[Iggy]

I haven't found one yet that I could out shoot.

 

[vytoland]

all my S&W revolvers

 

[akjaeger]

6" Freedom Arms .454
629-2 "Mountain Revolver"
6" Colt Python

 

[Coug76]

A Ruger Bisley conversion to 475 Linebaugh. It could shoot the wings off a gnat (if it didn't vaporize the gnat). My no dash 66 is a close second.

 

[M29since14]

I haven't found one yet that I could out shoot.

Unfortunately, more or less true for me too, but I did once have a mysterious 6-inch Model 66 that would not keep 6-rounds of anything on a 16x16 paper at 50-feet, so I have seen one or two.

I will say that I have seen so many Model 57s over the years that have surprised me (pleasantly) that I almost don't pay any attention to them any more. My experience has been that if you can hold them and squeeze them, they never fail. I don't recall ever seeing one that wasn't "a killer!"

 

[gaijin]

Not surprisingly a (6") mod 27-2 and a bit of a surprise, a 4" mod. 28.
Both shoot a smidgen under 2" @ 50 yds. with all six cylinders.

Just about all of my S&Ws. However my 1967 19-2 stands out. My son wants to steal it. Several 28s and 27s shoot excellently also. Among my big bores my 629, 657 and 57 Mountain gun are also great shooters. One of the surprises was how accurate my 13-3 3-inch shot. almost as accurate as my longer barreled N frames. Model 36 2 inch, close range only.

This is my champ however!

I have "stolen" a few from my Dad over the years and I hope someday my son will "steal" a few from me.

For contrast, I own one revolver, an S&W 60-4. So, it really surprised me how accurate it is the first time I fired it. I'm ancient, my eyes are slipping but I can do pretty well with it. It's not for sale.

 

[heeter3]

My 19-4 six inch that I bought in the late 90s for $150.

 

[AzShooter]

My most accurate handgun was the first Model 627 I ordered. Using 185 grain bullets that I casted from and LBT mold it would consistently shooot 1/2 inch groups from 25 yards from a rest.

I think it was the load more than the gun but that gun sure did give me great groups.

 

[GyMac]

My S&W Model 14. I'm not sure it's the most accurate, but the longer barrel length probably allows me to shoot better with it.

 

[Old Seabee]

Pistol

My 5 screw 44 Spec for sure

 

[Troystat]

The most accurate revolver or pistol I have shot was an early 80's Freedom arms 454 Casull, the worst was an early 9mm model 92 Beretta. Both belonged to my stepfather. I remember shooting from a rest at a target at 50 yards with the Casull and getting 2 inch groups (iron sights) at the same time at 25 yards the Beretta was lucky to get a 5 inch group. Did not seem to matter which one of us was shooting the Beretta shot like ****. I seem to remember that my offhand groups with the Casull were not quite so good

 

[S&W HE]

While all my S&Ws can out shoot me, both my 4th Model Hand Ejector (Model of 1950) revolvers in .44 Special stand out.

In the early eightys I tested my 4" 586 and 6" Python as well as the 6.5" M1950 in Mr. Ransoms' rest. The results were essentially a tie so I sold the Python and put the money to good use... the 4" M1950.

 

[TAROMAN]

...would have to be my 17-4. purchased it new back in the day and was my tool for .22 revolver silhouette matches.

Second thoughts on this one as my new 617-6 continues to score wins in club matches.

 

[Green Frog]

After his passing, I bought talented gunsmith Fred Schmidt's demo gun. It was one he took to matches and shows to show off the full range of his revolver work; he took a Model 15 and did his short cylinder conversion and crane lock jobs, along with a slab sided Douglas premium bull barrel and an Aristocrat rib with 3 position front sight. All I did was take off the standard service grips and replace them with a pair of then current smooth combats and away I went! Of course it only shot flush seated wadcutters with that short cylinder and long barrel tenon (the bullet was in the forcing cone before it fully left the case) but boy, it put them close together! With its history, it deserved a place of honor in somebody's collection, and unfortunately, that somebody was not to be me, so I sold it and moved on to other things. Still get nostalgic about that one sometimes, though.

[Bajadoc]

Model 14-1, 8/38" barrel. 158grain LSWC. 4.5 grains winchester231. Any .38 Special brass, any standard small pistol primer.

 

[bogman]

My model #18-2 is the most accurate revolver, I have ever shot.

 

[WDF]

About 1956 I purchased a S&W model 17 and had it converted to K-hornet by a gunsmith in West Sand Lake NY (sick of shooting woodchucks with a .22 rimfire and having them crawl down the hole). I was young, strong and had good eyesight. I was able to shoot (not every time) 3 inch groups (over a solid rest) at 100 yards! Honest. Cannot believe there is any more accurate revolver made.
Never had any problems but decided it could be dangerously hot and sold it about 1960. Bought another in about 1970. Never tried it at 100 yards, pretty far for rimfire .22. Was able to keep in 10 ring at 25 yards pretty much all the time. Sold it in favor of a High Standard .22 "target" auto. Should have kept both. But the HS had a FABULOUS trigger pull. Like breaking a strand of spaghetti! It was no more accurate than the K22 so far as I can see, however.

 

[THE PILGRIM]

Have owned and shot several really accurate centerfire revolvers.
But I have to go back to my pre-27, 6.5 incher.
