What is the most accurate pistol you have ever shot?

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. :)
 
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.:D I wish I could afford a les baer with a 6 inch barrel. Maybe some day:(
 
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.
 
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. :rolleyes:
 
Out of the box unmodified, CZ97.
 
A 1950's K22 w/target grips. Just a stock gun I used for Bullseye shooting for many years. My averages were in the mid 270 to low 280 range over those years.
Not too bad I thought. Certainly nothing to put me in competition for anything, but they're real world off-hand scores over a 15 yr period.
SA on slow fire,,DA on timed and rapid.
Both outdoor 50/25yds league in the summer and 50ft indoor in the winter. Scores were better in the outdoor league.
That 50ft Bullseye game is tough.
I tried a H/Standard target, a Mod 46, Mod 41, and a Ruger MkI Target, but always came back to the K22.

Shot a lot of 'gun of the week' too. Just about anything was game and it was usually very humbling when done against the clock, off hand and for score on a Bullseye target.
I remember one of the worst times I had was with a Webley Mk VI. Not much doin' at all out there on the 50yrd target for me! I'll bet I looked cool though.
 
Colt XSE Govt. Model scary accurate.

19-2 from about 1967, my most accurate revolver

It was some crazy looking thing a Lieutenant in a neighboring dept. shot in some Creedmoor match. I shot it once or twice. It was the most accurate thing I ever shot, two times.
 
Ruger GP-100 6" barrel. Beat up truck gun I bought for $200. A 5" steel gong at 50 yards was almost impossible to miss offhand. I would say a German SIG 225, but my wife shoots one-hole groups with it at 11 yards. I never could get it to do that for me, so I just gave her the pistol!
 
Revolver

A tie between my 25-2 and 610.


Semi auto

None other than my Sig X5 L1


Rifle

A tie between my K31 and my Einfield without a scope.

With scope my Kimber 8400 in 300 WinMag.
 
I've got a lot of handguns from the late 1800's through the 2000's and near new...auto's and revolvers.

You know...really most are quite accurate and most are well regulated(as in the sights point where the gun shoots).

Two that really impressed me are a S&W Model 14..and a old P08 Luger with a so-so bore. But then most handguns I've shot were capable of very good accuracy..it's other factors such as bad triggers and sights that were off...or just plain don't fit the person shooting it that kill accuracy

I have a few that seem remarkable.
A 6" 1952 K22
A M14 .38
A Kimber 1911 .22 RF Target
An HK P7 9mm auto

On my 'good days', and I still have a few - these guns are like lasers.
 
Another vote for Ruger Mark II bull barrel. It shoots waay better than me.
 
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...

I hear that. My Model 57 with 8 3/8" barrel. After some work by Mag-Na-Port and a Leupold 2X scope, it will shoot consistent 3" groups at 100 yards with factory hunting rounds (Federal 240 gr. lead). Good enough for me.

Rimfire would be my HS Supermatic Trophy w/ bull barrel. Love that pistol.
