What is the most accurate pistol you have ever shot?

[02-fatboy]

Ok so here is a question for everyone out here.

What is the most accurate pistol you have ever shot with iron sights. Fixed or adjustable is fine.

For me I would have to say that its my S&W 41 that I recently acquired. Next would probably be my Kimber Gold match.

I guess when it comes down to it I probably shoot better with the 41 because it has less recoil, and 22's just seem to be easier to shoot. At least from what I have seen most people shoot better with them especially people who don't shoot alot or are just learning to shoot.

I think in most cases alot of this is just personal preference, I imagine most guns are capable of standards that I as a shooter would have a hard time accomplishing. Of course that doesn't mean I can't strive for perfection and continue to try.

I really just love my 41 because I have been able to accomplish nice tight groups where 6 out of 10 rounds or more are all together touching one another and they leave a nice hole in the paper.

I know for some of you here this is not much of an accomplishment at all and for others its probably a great feeling when you can get really good groups.

Either way just wonder what the rest of you are shooting your best with.

 

[OLDSTER]

Model 41 and "Volquartsen tricked" Ruger Mark II. About a tie for first place.

 

[jlrhiner]

A Colt Gold Cup that I still own. I used to be able to hit a paper plate off-hand at 100 yds. I won some money with it over the years.

 

[A10]

Winchester 52 bench rest gun. Knocked a crow out of the top of a tree at about 100 yards, open sights. Heavy sumgun though! EDIT: that was a rifle obviously! Handgun would probably be a heavy barrelled Contender with the .22 barrel on it.

 

[Moonman]

High Standard "VICTOR" early 1970's. (.22LR)

Les Baer 45ACP "WADGUN"

 

[Stainless44]

Depends on how close the target is.

 

[swilli41]

K-22 Outdoorsman with King sights.

 

[deadin]

By far and away above anything else.......

 

[wbraswell]

My Model 17-4. Maybe just because it's a .22

 

[Frank237]

Wilson CQB in .45 acp with my H&G #68 target wadcutter handloads.

A close #2 would be my M-41.

 

[amazingflapjack]

Mark II Ruger

 

[keith44spl]

10" T/C Contender chambered in 7mm TCU.......

[arjay]

Mark III Ruger with a k-38 and several 1911s right behind it.

 

[moe l.]

My Wilson Tactical Supergrade will shoot the wings off of flies.

 

[Alnamvet68]

Standard Colt M1911A1 with factory iron sights and Colt Match barrel and bushing.

 

[DGT]

For me, it has to be this triple lock.

 

[mtgianni]

Model 52 ties with a 5 1/2" target bbl Ruger Mark 1.

 

[RonJ]

MKII Ruger with custom trigger.
I owned a M41 but I didn't know how to shoot it at the time
Dean beat me to the air pistol! Mine's an FWB65.

 

[PALADIN85020]

This Ruger Mark II Government Target Model has always given me consistent excellent accuracy with almost anything I feed it. This group was fired with Remington Golden Bullet .22s, which don't really have a stellar reputation.

Centerfire: Model 52 Smith. No question, absolute perfection!

Rimfire: High Standard Victor. One of many regrets.

 

[deadin]

Dean beat me to the air pistol!

That's not an air pistol. It's a Hammerli M162 in .22 Long Rifle.
Here's the test target... (That's 10 rounds at 50 Meters. Those are .22 cal holes. I wish I could shoot that well..)

Here's an air pistol.(Walther CP2) It will group about like the Hammerli, but only at 10 meters....

 

[Trooperdan]

S&W M52.. it is like magic!

 

[rufgr]

My S&W model 25-2 using Lyman 45266 bullet and 3.6 gr. of Bullseye.

 

[Straightshooter2]

My Colt Combat Commander after I had it worked on by Jim Rose in Jacksonville. It's not a competition gun obviously but it shoots more accurately that I do, especially using my 200 gr. SWC handloads with either Unique or Bullseye powder.

[Jswiney9]

belgium browning challenger was one of the best ive shot.

 

[Fishinfool]

Most accurate, period? - TC 14 inch in .223. With a scope mounted, well under an inch at 100 yards, so it would do just as well with open sights, if my eyes were up to it..

Real handgun? My .22 HS Victor in rimfire, and probably my tuned Kimber match 1911 in 45acp for centerfire.

Larry

 

[LouisianaJoe]

Model 41.

With scope, a Super 14 Contender .30-30. 1/2" groups at 50 yds.

For a revolver, a 1952 vintage K-38 Target Masterpiece loaded with 148 HBWC reloads.

 

[kudzu3]

They're all more accurate than me, but I seem to make the holes a little closer together with my 17-6.

 

[ChuckS1]

My Les Baer M1911A1 wadgun, followed by my Smith Model 41. The target in my avatar was shot at 25 yards with the Les Baer. Ten rounds, little over 1 1/4". It'll do 1 1/2" at 50 yards off a sandbag with a Nosler/Zero 185 grain JHP. So will the Model 41, with the right ammo. Mechanical accuracy is one thing, doing it offhand in a match is something else altogether...

 

[RonJ]

Dean, I should have looked more carefully. That pistol has no compression chamber.
