What's your most accurate Revolver?

[silentflyer]

Small bore .22 M17 8 3/8, medium bore Dan Wesson . 357 15-2 8", big bore Dan Wesson .44 mag 10", the DW's have a huge advantage with the barrel being tensioned on each end. You can actually move the groups by tweeking the barrel tension nut on the end of the shroud.

My Thunder Ranch mod 21-4 in 44 spec. is the most accurate revolver I have in my hands.

I have two Thunder Ranch model 21-4's in 44 special and another model 21-4 I carry as my CCW. All three are very accurate and fire to point of aim with the 200 grain Silvertips. I just picked up some Corbon 44 special 200 grain DPX (Barnes Bullet). Hope to try some out Sunday afternoon.

629-1 8 3/8",My only S&W revolver that is not a ND.

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?

My absolutely most favorite most used most accurate and most positively adored revolver is my 18-3. In front of witnesses I have fired six shot groups off-hand at 65 yards that measured 5 inches across. In 2004 I used it in a standard draw and fire type match fired on B-27 targets. I did not own a holster, so they let me use a Beretta 92 holster holding the revolver in w/ my left index finger. I shot a 242/42X. Later I put a little dab of white nail polish on the front sight and found that that just about eliminated fouling up in the 9 ring. I have owned this revolver since about 2002. I have had a lot of revolvers over the years that were very nicely accurate. But this one takes the cake!

Believe it or not its my 325 nightguard

This 625-8 PC.

 

[Cpo1944]

What stocks do you have on that great shooting 18?

 

[H Richard]

Gosh, that's hard to determine. In center fire, the Pre27 is great, but the 686 is it's match. My 17-4 is a tack driver, but with the right ammo the newer 617-6 is it's equal. A couple K38's are about the match for the 27 & 686, and the 15's are no slouch. In fact AI don't think I have a S&W revolver that doesn't meet my expectations.

 

[devilfrog1911]

Take your pick ...

 

[getoff]

my 17, or maybe my 586. the 17 is easier and cheaper to shoot so i shoot it more... that being said a 586 in 4" is a damn accurate shooter.

 

[Retired W4]

Another toss up. K-22 and 25-5 45 LC (8 3/8"). Although my 3" 64 always supprises me by how accurate it is.

 

[Chop]

Most accurate is my Model 65-6 Ladysmith using 158gn FMJ .38 Specials. Close second is my Model 14-2 4" using same loads.

Accurate handguns

Revolvers....my model 18 and a 617......with my model 18 I shot a 50 yd steel small bore ISHMA pig turn edge wise to me....so that I had just the 3/8" thickness to shoot at.....I hit it on the snout and turned it on the stand....so that I was looking at the butt of the pig.....I looked at my shooting partner....thumb cocked the 18...my partner said " no way"...."BANG!!".....Tink....
Auto's: my model 52 and custom built Colt series 70 "bullseye "gun.....both of these guns will simply punch out the "X" ring on a 25 yd slow fire bullseye target.

 

[Bert Man]

My 17-no dash definitely head and shoulders above the rest. Close second is my 66-1 4 inch which was my duty gun for many years and has consumed untold amounts of ammo without missing a tick.

 

[meanoldman]

model 17. By far the most accurate handgun I have.

 

[Lobster Picnic]

5 screw Combat Masterpiece. My wife thought I was a great shot until she shot it herself. Now she thinks SHE is a great shot.

 

[RussellD]

1950's vintage five inch k38. Something magic about this one that just shoots little tiny groups...

 

[Skunkhome]

My dad's model 10-2 5"

 

[sheepdawg]

Sorry S&W fans but this Ruger Super Redhawk in 44 mag. is scary accurate. You better have a rest handy though.

 

[M29since14]

My 1976 model 29 8/38" bbl. It was my IHMSA revolver. All shots touching at 25 yds.

I have a 6.5-inch 29 from that era that I would say is possibly my most accurate. I bought it used; can't even recall when or where. I too shot a few IHMSA matches with it. It is nothing to look at but if you can see well enough and you can hold and squeeze, I am sure it is as good as my best K22.

 

[ma deuce]

My 4" M19-4. More accurate than my 6", for some reason.

 

[sw282]

lts a 25-3 45 LC in a revolver. Regardless what ammo l shoot the bullet holes touch in the target... ln an auto it would be my Browning HiPower ''Comp''. A limited run factory target 9mm model put out in the 80s

 

[Florida J Frame]

That would be my 327TRR8

 

[mbliss57]

That is a question that needs a little qualifying. Most accurate at point and shoot combat distances, or intermediate distances up to 30 yards or long distance shooting for hunting. (100yards)
Since I don't hunt much anymore.. I will go with the combat scenario.
Mine is a 4" model 64-6 in DAO. Scary accurate. My wife who loves semi autos and doesn't care for revolvers loves this one because it make her look like a pro.
For medium distances it is my model 66 shooting 125 grain 357 magnums.
If it was the long distance it would be my 29 no dash 6 1/2". (When I had good eyes) If I put a scope on it it would still be scary accurate.

That's a huge coincidence that you specifically mentioned the M15 and M27 because those are two of the 3 revolvers I own. The third one is not an S&W but still pretty accurate. My 1970 15-3 which shoots well has a 4 inch barrel but my 2010 27-9 which has a 6 inch barrel (which I just fired for the first time today) is a bit more accurate. It also feels a bit more comfortable than my 1911.

 

[TAROMAN]

625-3:

 

[BCDWYO]

I would have to say my 4" Model 547 9mm. I wouldn't go so far as to say it is my favorite revolver caliber, but this one is scary accurate.

 

[Revolver-time]

I have many Smiths that shoot well. BUT, the revolver that I shoot best is a New Model Ruger Blackhawk in 45 Colt. It only has a 4 5/8 barrel but is very accurate with 255gr. LSWCs.

 

[MDMarauder]

Believe it or not my 15-3 Snub is extremely accurate.
