C'mon, every one's got their favorite shooter. is it that model 15 with adjustable sights? or maybe a model 19 you use for single action revolver? Maybe a model 27 that just shoots double action revolver like no other. Which one hits that mark more often than not ? Or is it another model? 52?, 17? 41?

Newer than 1980 (1993) but my 686-3 6" barrel is more accurate than me!

Also my sons Model 19-3 4" barrel is also crazy accurate!

Both have adjustable sights.

(Actually the 19 was mine and I swapped my son for the 686)
 
My 25-2 is very accurate but my 78' vintage 25-5 is very accurate too! All of my N frames are very good shooters. I also have a 1895 Nagant revolver that I modified to single action that is surprisingly accurate too!
 
By far my most accurate revolver is my Model 14, from a rest it will put them in one ragged hole all day long. It makes me look good at the range. :)
 
My "69" vintage model 15 is a tack driver.

The one that makes me look good is a 19-3 6" TTT that I found at a gun show about 3 years ago. A bit of holster wear that came in a S&W brand holster. It has the smoothest action of all my Smiths. I also wanted the other gun for sale, that my buddy bought for $400, a mint 57 4". I still want it.
 
Most accurate revolver of ANY make- though modified, a Ruger single six that was re barreled by Gary Reeder in Flagstaff, AZ ( because prior to that it would deliver saucer sized group at 15 yards with .22 LR ammo, and keyholed .22 magnums ) Keeps up well with my M41 now. Best S&W DA revolver is an OLD PPC job purportedly done by Royce Weddle on a model 14 - purely a joy to shoot, especially during hours and days at the range that are "popular" with the armed know-it-alls who bought something, so now their friends believe they know something! LOVE to hear these jeering the "grand pa gun" - until the first six round single ragged hole group is put into a target , proving to be a feat they can not match. Of course , I do a repeat with my old single stack IPSC 1911 in .45ACP , just to give the neophytes a demo of what they SHOULD be able to do with their new polymer whiz-bang, but cannot:rolleyes: , as they shall not invest the time and discipline to do so. ( but then, this was supposed to be about revolvers! ) Two years ago I was fortunate to find a holster worn M15 dated to around 1974 or 75. Best action on a non modified S&W that I own. Keeps up with the PPC job !

Gotta be my 28-2 4". It was my fathers service revolver when he was a Milwaukee LEO that I inherited. Consistently more accurate with it than any other revolver, even my brothers 27-2 6".
 
My 66 no dash is quite accurate, however I think that my new (to me) 629 will be even better. I've only put a few rounds through it, but it showed serious potential. I'll probably find out this weekend as my .44 bullets are arriving, and I can actually load some rounds for it!
 
My 629-5, 6 1/2 in. shoots far better than me and better than any other revolver I own.
