What Is Your Most Accurate Semi-Auto Pistol ...

BuckJM53 · 01-07-2012, 06:49 AM

... with you behind the controls?

As we all know, to test the pistol's inherent accuracy it needs to go on the Ransom rest to eliminate the human factor. However in the real world, when we toss out the rests and sandbags, add the human factor to the equation including : sight picture, grip, trigger pull, our comfort & confidence level with the pistol (the way it "feels" in our hands) and of course our individual skill level, what is your most accurate (Center Fire) Semi-auto pistol in that 7 to 10 yard range?

For me it is my CZ 75b

This gun I've owned since 1968 and this is it second barrel . I shot out the orginal one in over 60,000 rounds . In my day I could hold 80% of my shots in the "X" ring at 25 yds one handed off hand . I shot this a little over a year ago at age 67 . I have a muzzle break for it and I killed a lot of running rabbits with it .

You guys put me to shame. I go around the cylinder of a 5 shot and by the 5th things the sights are getting a little fuzzy for me.

Got a 22/45 Great Eight that'll shoot verrrry nice.

In rimfires it has to be a toss up between a Ruger Hunter SS (atually the wifes) and my MKI, but that is "in hand" not from a bench and I have a lot of experience with the Standard auto design which my give the MKI and advantage.

I centerfires that is a very, very, difficult question. Currently it has to be called a 4 way tie. With their favorite loads (factory) my CZ 75 fullsize, the 75 compact, Magnum research IWI/Jericho 941/baby desert eagle (or whatever it's called this week) and my Sigpro 2022 all are capable of giving each other a run for top spot. I recently acquired a Springfield Armory XDM .45 but I have only had one brand of ball ammo, from my bulk stock, to test it out with. If it "likes" any other brand just a smidge better then I have a 5 way tie on my hands.

There are a couple of "human factors" thatput the two CZs so close together.

Tx, Countrygun & BlackHawk ... Unfortunately I forgot to put in the phrase "Center fire" in my original post which was my intention

. My MKIII512 (with over 60,000) is by far my most accurate semi-auto. I'm curious which of your center fire pistols would be the most accurate?

Hello Buck. I would have to say I went with you on this, it's my CZ 75 compact bi-tone. I also have the Sig SP2022, but the CZ is better for me.

All my centerfire bottom feeder I load to fly over 1000 fps with hollow points for CCW and not for accuracy , since most gun fights are under 15 yds and no need to aim . If I had to pick one my Glock 27 at 25 yds is a good belly gun . This is the only paper targets I ever shot with this gun . All my CCW and cowboys gun I shoot steel .
