What is the most accurate pistol you have ever shot?

[Duster340]

My old Ruger Super Blackhawk .44 mag. Superb trigger pull and a great hunting handgun.

I shot a fair amount of competition but my experience is with a fairly small range of pistols. I've never shot a free pistol, for instance, and one of those is probably the most accurate out there. In my experience, the S&W Model 41 and High Standard Supermatic were the most accurate. The Ruger Mark I Target too (I havern't shot the later models). For centerfire, the National Match 45s turned out by the US Army for competition were the most accurate, although not quite as accurate as a good 22.

 

[rwsmith]

not a lot of experience

But the best was probably a Thompson/Center Contender

For the longest time my Colt Officers Model Match in .22 was my laser shooter. I took pride in having the smallest target at the farthest distance at the local indoor range. You could hear the range go quiet when I returned my target and all the shots were in the black.
And then I found an A Series Model 41.I shoot everything else before I take out the 41 and then I cannot suppress a cheshire grin with every shot.
The balance is excellent and the trigger is exquisite.

I have had the best shot placement with my model 686-2 4 inch barrel.

S&W model 41 followed closely by a Browning challenger

This one!

Ruger Mark II Competition

 

[silentflyer]

Hands down, my brothers Dan Wesson .41 mag, 8" barrel, with a scope, 2" groups at 100 yards, all day long, 210 Serria over 21.5 grains of 296...

Ruger Mk II Bull Barrel

Indeed for me too. Luckiest gun buy I've ever made.

Edit: Brain fart. Mine is a mark I target. Not sure why I was thinking mark II.

Wow I am floored by the number of people who said the Ruger Mark series. I guess it just must be me? I have a Ruger Mark I not a target series and I have actually recently shot some of my worst scores ever with it.

Although for some reason i still love my Mark I and I refuse to part with it. I wonder how much difference there is between a standard Mark I and a target model? It makes me want to try shooting one of the Mark series in a target model.

Lots of really great guns posted out here. As always a well tuned 1911 seems to be a great choice of gun to shoot and can be very accurate as I have found with most nice 1911's that I have shot.

This is definitley a cool post and I love to hear all the great feedback.

Thank you all.

That would be my S&W Model 28-2 with 6" barrel.
I've been shooting it almost every week for 40 years.

 

[Evil Dog]

FWB AW-93... a world class .22LR target pistol.

I use a MatchDot sight now, Senior Citizen eyes.

 

[Fishslayer]

Freedom Arms SA in .454 Casull.

Of the guns I own probably the Model of 1950 Target.

 

[Marshwheeling]

Ruger Mark III Standard is far and away the most accurate gun I own (in my hands). S&W 41 is the most accurate I have shot.

 

[Thuer]

For .22 the Hammerli model 208 international. Big bore. My 681 and Blackpowder my New Model 3.

 

[yashua-p]

...an early 1960's High Standard Supermatic Citation. Long barrel and bull. Long had a 1.3 power Bushnell scope. Shot Bullseye and squirles with it...and most anthing else that I wanted to.

The gun that I feel most confident in terms of accuracy when I pick it up is my S&W 1911.

I am a terrible shot, and never have had a target that I could cover with a quarter, dime, etc.--unless I shot it once. But very happy with this at 10 yards as fast as I could pull the trigger.

Whenever I'm feeling a little "down", I'll take my Les Baer PII in .45 acp to the range. It never fails to put a smile on my face.

 

[Mike McLellan]

K-22 Masterpiece (K208932).

 

[Smith357]

My Thompson Center Contender with a 12" .223 barrel, 2x7 Burris scope and neck sized only handloads of 24 grains Varget an 50 grain Vmax bullets was sub MOA at 100 yards.

For repeating handguns the prize goes to a S&W Model 52, it would made nice cloverleaf groups at 25 yards.

Really great post, there's something to be said for going to the range and shooting to help make you feel better when you had a really bad day. I wish I could afford a les baer with a 6 inch barrel. Maybe some day

70 Series Gold Cup!

 

[policerevolvercollector]

A Argentine built FN HiPower 9mm from the early '60s. It was built on FN equipment under FN license in Argentina prior to the advent of the "FM" clones. At 25 yards w/ FMJ,you could cover the groups with a 50 cent piece.

 

[kraigwy]

I'd have to say my S&W Model 52-2

 

[2hawk]

Funny you should say that...

Serendipitious- I was going post this one up as my most accurate.
Bought new with the 1-1/2" @ 50yd guarantee. Still like a bank vault after several thousand rounds.

Certainly puts a smile on my face with a 200 gr. LSWC at 25 yds!

Truth is, most my guns shoot better than me.... I guess that's a good thing.

In center-fire my Colt Gold Cup and in rim-fire without a doubt my High Standard Victor.
