Your most accurate revolver

[petehm]

What has been the most accurate revolver with a 4" barrel that you have owned.

I had a 686SSR that was a tack driver.

 

[Bud11]

My 67 bought new this year is a real sweet shooter.

 

[18DAI]

My 4" 19-4. A former PPC shooter and firearms instructor once proclaimed it to be a "sub 1 inch gun at 25 yards."

It is far more accurate than I. Great trigger too, which probably contributes a great deal to its inherent accuracy. Regards 18DAI

 

[steamloco76]

Four inch only; dead heat between a Model 10-5 from 1977 and 67-6 from 2005. Don't put down the two piece barrel guns. They are more accurate than I will ever shoot!

 

[Zoner]

4 inch 15-3

 

[Old cop]

Realizing this is a S&W site I'll risk the rath of others. My most accurate is my Ruger Vaquero .357 single action.

 

[deanodog]

Model 14-3

 

[Hearsedriver]

model 65-2

 

[JamesArthur60]

My best is a 6" barrel 686, but since you asked for a 4" barrel, I'd have to say my academy issued .38 special M10 wasn't bad. Of course it had fixed sights and most of the shooting was on a timed course. I never really took my time for accurate bullseye target shooting. That's all I can offer.

 

[wnc wheelgun]

my model 581

 

[boatbum101]

Best 4" was a 686-2 . Best 6" is my Colt Officers Model Match .

 

[MWark]

I have a 4" 681 that is outstanding. My most accurate relover is a 6" python, it's one of those "if you can see it you can hit it" guns.

 

[Bluelou]

S&w 10-14 no matter what ya feed it. For a late model smith this gun is great.

My most accurate Revolver is also one of the oldest and most shot guns I own. It's a 4" (pre M15) Combat Masterpiece that belonged to my Dad and (I'm guessing of course) probably has more than 50,000 rounds though it! It will shoot 1-hole, 3/4" groups at 50 feet all day long! The Target hammer is so worn, that the checkering has been smoothed over. The gun is on it's 2nd barrel, the internals have been replaced at least 2 times that I know of, as have all the screws. The cylinder and standard Walnut Magnagrips are original. The single action trigger pull is 2 pounds and smooth as silk!

I own PLENTY of newer .38's and .357's in all barrel lengths and none of them can shoot this well. The others are very accurate, but this particular gun just seems to be an extension of my arm, and continues to amaze me.

My 19-3. If I wasn't limited to 4 inch tubes, it would be my 14-2.

 

[bmcgilvray]

A couple of 5-shot efforts at 10 yards with a Model 10-6. I have a .32-20 Hand Ejector 4-inch that does as well.

 

[Rapidray]

That is easy...

That was my 681 but I now have a 10-6 in 357 magnum and it is a tac driver with everything. Looks rough but it will dance!

 

[BearBio]

Toss up between my 4" Python and my 6" 25-2. Haven't really tried out my 6" Officers.

 

[TAROMAN]

Don't laugh, but its my 681-0, fixed sights and all!

 

[DRYHEAT]

Of my 4" revos, my 629-3 with .44 Spl. rounds.

 

[Larry from Bend]

I seldom shoot paper any more, but last Summer, in front of a witness, I hit six 12 gauge shotshells in a row (placed so my target was the bottom of the shell) @ 25 yards with this Model 18. This would convert to less than a 7/8" group. That sixth shot is the tough one!!!

Honestly, I can do the same thing with a Ruger Standard Auto with a 4 3/4" barrel. The Ruger has an UltraDot on it. I'm almost to the point where I can do it with a Ruger Flattop in 44 Special --- but not quite. I shoot quite a bit.

 

[Revoman]

Model 625 from the Performance Center.

 

[KCOG]

My recently purchased 4" 686 CS-1.

 

[RPM1965]

64 no dash

 

[jake m29]

Its a close tie between my 4 inch 28-1 and a 29-10 I own.

 

[fyimo]

For me it's a Model 17-4 with 8 3/8 inch barrel that shoots like a rifle.

 

[turnerriver]

This pre M 19 Combat Magnum. It is a factory reblued revolver
that my shooting buddies have long called the magic gun
as no one misses with it. I'm talking about plinking only-
I've never shot paper with it. I've been shooting it regularly for
over 30 years now. One of my favorites.

Regards,

Turnerriver

 

[44wheelman]

Intersting only 4" bbl?.... my 14-2 .38 and my Dan Wesson .357

My model 18-2 isn't too far behind.

I get some good groups with the 4" 629 Mountain Gun- but I think it's just more difficult to shoot consistently well. I do have a custom heavy barrel 5" 629 that shoots like a laser beam (particularly with the 44 special rounds)

What has been the most accurate revolver with a 4" barrel that you have owned.

Sir, my most accurate 4-inch revolver was probably my old S-serial Model 28-2. My most accurate revolver, period, was a 6-inch Model 686 no dash, which once outshot a Mini-14 at 100 yards.

Hope this helps, and Semper Fi.

[David LaPell]

I would have to say it would be this little 1950 vintage M & P.
