Are all these firearms capable of being mounted into a Ransom Rest?
Because unless these are fired in a locking device this is not a test. Just a bunch of guys showing off their skills (or lack there of).
Not one Springfield Armory XD or XDM in the list? Please...
One of the weakest AM Shooter Journal articles yet...I love a good gun thread. This won’t be it. Sigh.
Well... I just don’t understand why my Taurus 111g2 that I just pickup or $150 bucks wasn’t on the list....
Accuracy is demonstrated by the shooter of a weapon.
My CZ clones are tack drivers (Canik and SAR)
It seems with their testing they wanted to find the most accurate “target pistol”. They let the shooters fire from a sandbag rest.
The test became invalid when some(or one) of the weapons had an aimpoint red dot sight.
Were they looking for the best handgun sights ?
CZ-75bd. It is THE most accurate handgun I’ve ever seen and I own “a few” hand guns.
XDM is very accurate out of the box.
A good 9mm?
Is there such a thing? If you want to stop someone, use a .45 and practice.
I love my Glock 9mm. But it is not by my bed.
Every few months for over a decade now, I get together for a weekend with a group of friends who are also gun enthusiasts. They range from ex-military guys to guys that are just getting into shooting. The group changes. Some guys leave, new guys will come into the group. The guns also change. We all bring our pistols and trade around for some target practice.
Usually we have 10-15 guys. Some guys bring a couple of pistols, some guys bring 5 or 6. I’d say we have at least 30-40 different styles and makes at every get together.
Over the years, we have found that everyone shoots the Beretta 92 better than any other pistol. It’s enough of a difference that even guys who don’t want to like the 92 (mostly the ex-military guys lol) have to admit that there is something about it that lets people shoot more accurately.
After the 92, it gets kind of muddled, but CZs always seem to perform better as a brand.
We’ve talked about this a lot and have come to the conclusion that it is more about design and feel than actual accuracy. It’s kind of like when you read a car review and there is a comment that the car seems to almost drive itself.
The fixed barrel would probably be good for accuracy.
Very Eurocentric. No Colts, Rugers, Taurus?
Adjustable or fixed sights. My experience is very few fixed sight pistols shoot “point of aim” or just above.
At the average hand gun range it usually doesn’t matter if you aim at the center of the torso.
Yet, I still like to see a hole on the target exactly where I aimed at 15-25 yards. With my eyes, that is about the limit.
The most accurate FIXED SIGHT semi-autos I have fired in the last 50 years have been a Hungarian version (FEG) of the BHP, and the Philippine made Rock Island 1911.
These two are the only ones that hit just above or on the point of aim at 15-20 yards.
Other fixed sight handguns I’ve shot, from a rest, always were usually low. That includes Colt, Browning Hi-Power, SAR B6P (Way low!) At average handgun range they will do in a pinch, but not for precision shooting, unless you know how high to aim with each one.
Out of the box they shoot better. Inside the box, they’re a bit unwieldy.

I would include the Ruger P89M (exceptional accuracy might be why the Chicago P.D. adopted it ;^)...
