Until this week I thought the most accurate 9mm that I ever shot (no bench rest, no held in vise etc.) was the Sig P210-6. Then I got an S&W 952-2, and it really blew me away. I thought: "no way am I this good". That got me to thinking - I wonder what others have found to be "the best". I don't care about reports of accuracy in lab test, I mean in real, at the range, experience.
Personally, the best .45 I've shot has been the Sig P220 Sport. As mentioned above: in 9mm the S&W 952. In .22LR the S&W 41.
When it comes to revolvers, I suck so bad I can't mention any.
So what, and in what caliber, is the best you have shot? Also, if the gun is accurate, but falls apart after the 30th round, please mention that too.
The anti-thesis (sp.?) to this would of course be the worse, but will save that to another thread (hint mine was made in Italy).

That's easy, a Sig 220 in .45-caliber. Major tack-driver. I was so befuddled after the first magazine I almost looked down the business end of it and muttered "what the . . . .?"
Thought about pointing it at the owner and demanding he sell it to me, but he would have said no...

I participated in some work-related training a few weekends ago with a S&W 410. Since the training was somewhat informal, I ran through the last drill with my Kimber STII (.45ACP) since I'd brought it to the range and wanted to burn some ammo with it. My performance with the Kimber doesn't even compare to that with the S&W. The Kimber hands down fits my shooting tendencies better than any of the other handguns in my safe.
The flip side of that coin is that I couldn't hit the broad side of Leno's chin with my S&W 629 Classic. With the .44mag ammo being so expensive, I just don't spend the money necessary to become a better shooter with that revolver. I know that the sights are part of the problem, and I may yet add some kind of optics to it...

I hear ya, Fobos. I have not mastered the double action revolver trigger, but I haven't worked too hard at it, either...

Right before I sold my Colt Series 80 government I was doing tactical movement drills with it and my AR-15 Carbine. (now I am finishing payments of my newly acquired SA TRP Operator) During my drills I would fire 5 rounds from my carbine then sling it to the side and unholster my Colt series 80 and fire 2 double tapped shots at my target using reflex shooting. Right before the sell I was making 2 good double tapped shots into a target the side of a human head while closing a distance of 10 yards. (Sold it cus I had a great deal on a better weapon)
Shooting target at rest, my best gun is my Baby Desert Eagle. I shoot just under 2 inch groups with it at around 25. I do this in .45.

Dry Firing with Snap caps helps with the double action trigger, in between range visits. The Georgia Arms ammo is very smooth and accurate to shoot, using any of their calibers, in any kind of pistol or revolver. I notice a big difference in my groupings, follow up shots, and felt recoil with their stuff; Others around me take notice also.I almost forgot to include their link: www.georgia-arms.com |

My Colt National Match makes me feel like a better shot than I am. Others who have tried it have been jealous.
My S&W 625 can be shot pretty accurately in double action. That is partly the result of a very good trigger job done by Dick DiVittorio in Orlando.
Like DA, I am a fan of Georgia Arms Ammo. I usually get 1000 rounds of 9mm and 1000 rounds of .45 each time they are in town for the gun show.

My most accurate is my Sistema. Two things make it so. One is the Wilson barrel in it, and the very nice trigger, second is the itty bitty sights. It's hard to drive tacks when your front sight covers the entire bullseye.
The Ruger MKII Government is another very accurate one I own.
Perhaps these two are my most accurate because I shoot them a lot. I don't feel I will ever shoot to the full potential of either gun. I found that my accuracy is very dependent on good trigger control. When i lightened my Beretta 92's trigger, I finally became accurate with it.

My most accurate handgun is my S&W 686 .357 Mag. It's had trigger work and Millette Adj. sights.

In retrospect... when I am trying to simply hit something fast... the NFA Mac 10 comes out ;D

I'm most accurate with the Ruger MKII. It's no surprise though. I'm comparing it to a short barreled .380 and a handgun designed to be a service sidearm. Each has it's purpose.
Still, if I really had to hit something, it would be the shotgun at short range or the bolt action rifle at longer ranges ;D

The easiest, and most accurate pistol of those I have is my Browning Buckmark Varmint with a 9 3/4" Bull Barrel and 2x Pistol scope. I have another Buckmark with a 7" Volquartsen match barrel, and 2x Leupold Pistol Scope, that I have not spent enough time with to compare to the Varmint.
Most of my shooting involves centerfire cartridges, and of those, I shoot better at longer distances using my 229 Sig Sport in 357 sig. At shorter distances I shoot faster with the 1911s in .45 acp. My eyes play a big part on how fast I can pick up the front sight and place it on smaller targets at longer distances.
