My Dayton can shoot 1 hole 5 shot groups at 25 yards from a Ransom rest.

Model 18-4

 

[Frank237]

In 4" my original first year production M-66 with stainless frt & rear sights. The first 66 I ever purchased have had it since 1970.

In the 6" gun category I have several contenders... A circa 1964 6" K-38, all three of my PC Light Weight Hunters are tackdrivers, and a std 657 in 6" is a one hole shooter at 25 yds with 7.5 of Unique and a 220 gr Cast bullet.

15-3 in 4-inch, 14-4 in 6.

 

[Joe in SC]

A model 15 that I owned back in the mid seventies. I wish I had it back. Traded it for a model 19 and let it slip away also.

 

[Marksman]

My Hamilton Bowen .44 Special conversion on a pre 27 5" S&W 5 screw.

 

[Ron H.]

Results so far: a couple .44s, a couple .45s, a few .22s, and everything else (50+) either .38 or .357. Interesting. The .38/.357 numbers don't surprise me, but I'd have expected a lot more .22s.

Hope this helps, and Semper Fi.

I have never really had a 4" revolver that stood out as extremely accurate. They have all been good but nothing special. My 6" Model 14 on the other hand is scary accurate and if I do my part will make one ragged hole at 25 yards.

 

[gmiller0737]

4" Stainless Python,If 6" were included My 17-4 would be a close 2nd & 3rd Place would be My 6" Diamondback

 

[C Islander]

65-2. Great revolver.

 

[ghostriderxt]

Definitely my Model 586-2

 

[bogman]

My model #18-2, 3/8th" groups at 18yds, Awesome shooter !!!

 

[pilgrim6a]

It would have to be my 21-4, .44 spl.
And both of the 10-8s are about as good.
The pre 10 RB ('50) is a shade better than the the 10-8s in DA.
I'd like to say this was at 50 yds. Or even 25. But 10 to 15 yds is what it is.

 

[guitar1580]

Dan Wesson model 715. Accurate with the 4" bbl, more accurate with the 8".

My most accurate 4" revolver is this model 16-4 with .32 S&W long wadcutters.

 

[nutsforsmiths]

625-8 Performance Center. The one with the red, white and blue grips.

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

I had a 686SSR that was a tack driver.

The most accurate 4" revolver that I've ever owned is my beloved 18-3. With good quality ammunition it has put two cylinder loads into right at 1.5 inches at 25 yds. firing from a two handed hold off the roof of my little car. It shoots with a consistence accuracy that is routine. It is my all time favorite revolver.

My 15-2 t-thg did me well this weekend @ 25 yrds.

 

[olskool]

i have had many that was great. my best would have to be my 1917 smith 45acp that was made in 1918 a real tack driver with 5gr. unique and my cast lead 230fp. bullet. 50/50 mix. pure lead and ww

 

[lalodad]

625-8 Performance Center. The one with the red, white and blue grips.

+1 my best

 

[WildBillD]

My pre-18 does well, as does my 67 no dash. Both better than I am.

 

[JoeHatley]

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

Tough call. But if I had to pick one, it would be this 625 V-comp.

12 rounds slow fire.

 

[hsmith9491]

MOST ACCURATE

Model 10-5 bought in 1967

 

[larry237]

The one that I shot the most accurately was a Model 66 4" that had an action job from a good gunsmith. I carried it on duty (shows how old I am) and tried to shoot it a lot. I could shoot it better than any handgun before or after.

 

[katg9501]

My model 15-2 impresses me. It puts bullets spot on every time which helps the shooter. I have a 4'' model 28-2 that's runs an extremely close second.

 

[CALREB]

Mt favorite 4 "

I like my 4" 14's best. They both are easy and fun to shoot and hold under 1" at 25 with WW 158 SWC or Precision Delta 158 SWC. They seem so easy to shoot well. Bob

 

[oldandfatonaharley]

3-screw Ruger Bearcat, simply because it's all I've got in that length. A 6" 686 is the most accurate revolver I have, if we ignore the length restriction.

 

[seabeesbob]

My 65-4 It is a pleasure to shoot.

 

[SuperMan]

1980 vintage 57...target was shot in 1983 a few days after I bought the gun from a friend. 25 yards double action. The one out was my fault not the guns. Swayed just as the hammer dropped...

657 Mountain Gun....this was 50' Double Action. The target was a blank B21PC silhouette and the low round was the first and aiming point for the rest.

I think most good quality revolvers are this accurate but what makes small hand held groups is the "shootability" of the gun. One can have a gun that from a Ransom Rest will put all its rounds through the same hole. But if the trigger pull is really crappy the best shot in the world isn't going to shoot the gun as well as they could with a good trigger....

I have a Model 18-0 that is awesome. Also Models 10 and 15 that shoot very well. I find that on a rest, all are really accurate, free hand, well, then I enter the picture and things get a little shaky.
