The most accurate revolver you ever fired ???

[Stan O]

Accurate

Colt Python.

The most accurate rimfire revolver that I have ever shot was a Holster worn Pre 18 that I foolishly sold when I was young because I didn't know what I had. I now have a beautiful 18-4 which is a fine gun, but it does not have the exceptional double action trigger or the accuracy that the Pre 18 had.

I have an older Browning Buckmark Pro Target 5" slabside that shoots one hole groups with - get this - Remington Golden Bullets!

The most accurate centerfire revolver that I have ever fired is my 625-2 Model of 1988 .45 ACP. It is scary accurate for all who fire it. Seems it likes my handloads of Precision Delta 230 grain FMJ hardball over 231.

Freedom Arms model '83 in 454

My 617-1 .22 w/a six-inch tube drives tacks out to 25 yards. It's pretty much stock with an action job consisting of about 4000 rds fired, six at a time...very accurate little (big) revolver.

[peterdeb]

my 10-6 is as accurate as my old eyes will allow. It's a pleasure to shoot.

My first revolver, in fact the first handgun I ever fired other than a pellet pistol, was a Ruger Blackhawk in .45 Colt, 7 1/2" bbl. I bought it new (well, my Dad made the transaction) when I was 16.

I shot that thing many thousands of times (I bought a used press and reloaded). It was accurate to the extreme, even at long ranges. I eventually wore the thing out (don't let anybody tell you you can't wear out a Ruger) before it was stolen.

Now the accuracy trophy goes to my 1951 22 Combat Masterpiece. It's uncannily accurate even with my not-so-good-anymore eyes, better in fact than my two K22 Masterpieces. It's a honey.

 

[policerevolvercollector]

The most accurate the I ever shot was a buddy's Single Action Only Model 14 w/ the long bbl. (8 3/8"?)

 

[brokenprism]

4" 624, which may have something to do with the caliber. Before that, a 6" Python with .38s. Duh.

 

[andyo5]

I will second Frank's observations on the accuracy of the 25-7 5" !

Jerry

I will third this observation!
I also have a scoped Bisley in 45 Colt that can shoot 2" groups at 100 yards with the right load.

 

[amazingflapjack]

I have been blessed with the accuracy of my revolvers, but one stands alone even in a very accurate group, past and present; my 29-3 6 1/2 inch nickel-it makes me look good.

 

[g8rb8]

My 6 inch Model 586-3 and my 6 inch Model 14-2, they make me look better than I am .......

For a center fire ditto for me on a 586-3 6 inch.

For a rim fire it's a model 17-2.

The revolvers have more potential and ability than I.

My wife wants a S&W 18-4..... She hit everything at her gun class with it !!!

 

[BubbaBlades]

This Model 317 .22 is NOT the most accurate revolver that I have fired but I used this gun (Model 317s are often described as being inaccurate) to shoot this 7 shot off-hand group at 15 yards.
As others have said "it's not the gun it's the shooter."

In over fifty years of shooting more than 300 different handguns, I have found that it is a combination of having the right gun AND the right ammo to achieve the best accuracy. The right guns means a gun that feels right and shoots right for YOU.

My Photobucket site (BubbaBlades) has pictures of my targets from more than 100 different handguns. As the target pictures show, there are at least a dozen revolvers that are the most accurate (for me).

this DW is a one holer

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

 

[Retired W4]

I'll play here. And I won't be showing off my pretty gun. In fact, I believe the most accurate center fire revolver I have shot is an old S&W 32-20. Kind of rough on the outside but amazing to shoot. I still have it. Hard to say on the rim fire side. There have been so many really accurate guns, mostly K-22's.

 

[Pisgah]

Centerfire -- my Uberti 1873 Flat Top Target .45 Colt. I won't describe group sizes and get called a liar, but when I shoot at anything with it I don't miss! Six months ago, I won two bets by hitting a bottle cap at 25 yards -- twice!

Rimfire -- a Ruger Super Single Six I have been trying to beg, borrow, or steal off my shooting buddy for 20 years or more.

For me and every one in my family it has to be our 625-8. I know it has the infernal lock and mim parts. but its just one of those guns that really shines. All you do is point and shoot- no fancy aiming etc- and it hits the target. I never put it on paper - yet- but I`m sure it will print awesome groups.

 

[Jaymo]

I have a model 25-7 that will put 10 rounds in 6" at 100 yards.

This target was made with a Ruger security six with an aftermarket barrel and dot sight. Its the best I have done with a handgun at 50 feet. 5 shots HBWC 2.8 Bullseye

A .38 HBWC on top of 2.8 grains of Bullseye IS a fantastic load.
It's one of my favorites because it's so accurate AND so economical.

See that grin in the first pic?
THAT'S the exact same grin I get when I shoot my 15-3 and my 586.
I look goofy as hell when I shoot my Smiths.
I can't help it. They're just such good shooters.
My 4" 10-6 is ugly as a monkey's butt and it shoots MUCH better than it has a right to. It's trigger is SO sweet.
My 2-3/8" Dan Wesson 14-2 does it to me also.
It's a fantastically accurate revolver. It seems to shoot every load well.
Too bad it's trigger isn't as grin-inducing as my Smiths.
