this is striker fired Magnum Research MR9, a "clone" of Walther P99. for some reason i shoot this pistol quite well. it has a de-cocker, unusual in striker fired. i shoot it better than the PPQ m1. if i had to re-qualify for CC permit, this is the pistol i'd shoot. not practial for carry.

Browning High Power
If we're talking CC firearms at CC distances it would be my Gen 1 Kimber Compact Aluminum in 45ACP. Too much muscle memory from shooting and carrying 1911's for close to forty years.
For a paper punching handgun in center fire, my PC 945. Hands down the most accurate semi auto center fire handgun I own.
Paper punching revolver, my 48-3 when shooting Eley Tenex through the 22LR cylinder. That gun LOVES that load. SCARY ACCURATE.
Class III

My Colt 38 super is a narrow win over my MK II bull barrel Ruger, which is a very close second. Some days I can't go wrong with the Ruger however. They are dandy shooters.
My Browning High Power. I've owned it for many years and it fits my
hand like it was made for me.

SPUR OF THE MOMENT SHOTS.
DEFINATELY the ones I never planned on, or put any thought into!
Early on all I had was a Mossberg 500 with bird & smoothbore slug barrels for about my first 12 years or so. That shotgun was very lucky for me, but I was much younger/keen of eye/steadier of hand. Went into a slump when I could afford "better" guns.

My 4" 686 and my CZ75B are tied for best bullseye shooting within the 7-20 yard range I shoot handguns. Those two are also the best shooting favorites of novice shooters I bring to the range.
My CZ PCR EDC is almost as accurate as it's 75B cousin.

All of my revolvers are snubbies - J's and K's.
My 66-4 has the best trigger and is the best shooter of the bunch.
Of my semi-autos, I do best with this Kimber Ultra Carry.

My Sig P220 Carry SAO (Single Action Only) 45 ACP is my most accurate semi auto pistol and my S&W Model 17-4 with 8 3/8 barrel is my most accurate revolver.
The trigger on the Sig P220 SAO is smooth as silk and that really helps in the accuracy. The S&W 17-4 thinks it's a rifle and is very accurate.

I enjoy shooting all of them but I have to say the 1911s are by far the most accurate. Colt Commander, S&W 1911 and Ruger SR1911, all 45s. The Sigs shoot really nice, my favorite however is the Walther PPQ, it just feels right.
My Kahr T9, it makes look like a good shooter.

I'm very good with my S&W 40 Compact in 40 also but the top pistol in my stable is my Beretta PX4 Sub Compact in 9mm .. It just feels so nice in my hand .. The first three shots I fired through it was a group under an inch at 15 feet .. I had a great day at the range that day !! It was far beyond what I normally shoot .. I still get 3 shot groups under 2.5 inches at 10 - 15 feet .. and a bit better then that on a good day ..
I'm still trying to get use to my 686 + Performance Center but having a hard time getting use to the loooong trigger release point .. So use to my autos .. I keep short stroking it !!
Edit - If you had asked which I enjoy shooting the most it would have to be my Fratelli Tanfoglio SPA TZ75 Series 88 .. Made in Italy .. Has been gone over and is completely stock has a DA of 3 1/2pounds and an SA of 1 3/4 pounds .. A wonderful range gun .. was bought by a friends wife to shoot with competitively but found the pistol a little large for her hands .. Her husband honed all contact points and it is extremely smooth in both DA and SA .. But its a little too light a trigger pull for me to be comfortable carrying it .. but fun too shoot it is ether in 9 or 41 as it came with both barrels and mags ..

I'm in good company, my 1911 is the best natural out of the holster gun I have for handgun, next to my Model 29. Its such a natural fit in the hand, so graceful and balanced, it flows and fits right. My 29-2 is a masterpiece, its My Gun at the end of the day, but if that 1911 GI just isn't just the perfect fit whenever you get back to it.
For long guns my PTR91 is the most natural up to the shoulder in combat rifles. The old 20 gauge Mossberg 500 youth from my squirrel hunting days is something that goes so naturally its like the gap between many years of use never happened. For bench shooting, my CZ 550 is always a nice trigger to return to, always exactly where you remembered it. I can "drop it off" and return to training with it at any time and not lose anything.
Interesting question as I ramble free association style. Trigger confusion is a real thing and can really screw up a man, along with the usual problems of getting rusty from lack of shooting. Certain guns you can quit shooting for extended periods and pick right back up, others are a humiliating reintroduction to an old friend. Grab an old accurate gun you used to be really in sync with but quit shooting for a while and you can be astounded how inaccurate it has become (can't be you of course) from sitting idle. I used to do shoots on the property here doing 5 round strings from three different handguns in constant rotation, all three I can shoot well, and it can be surprising how such rapid change up can throw you off.

That is a tuff question for me. All of my M&Ps and GLOCKs are on point with me. I can say this though I got my hands on a TAURUS PT111 G2 about 6 months ago went to the range and shot 289/300 first time out... Gotta admit TAURUS hit the mark with the G2 and G2c 189.00-250.00 is hard to beat.

I shoot most of my handguns pretty well but I would have to say that my custom 1911 or my custom Browning Hi Power would be at the top of the list. I made a hell of a shot this year with my Glock 19 though. We have a life size steel Elk at 400 yds at our range that I hit on my second shot with my Glock 19.
