Most accurate auto
I'm looking to buy a semi-auto pistol. Not too much experience outside of revolvers. What do you guys think is the most accurate? In the mid price range.

By the way, I know this will generate a hundred opinions, but I'm ready for them. 0 -
Im told that a H&k .45 tactical is very very accurate, but it has a 875$ price tag. 0 -
in a smaller pistol I would take a serious look at the SigP230 in either .380 or .32 (if you want no kickback). The reason is simple, the barrel is welded into the stock and therefore can not move offline when hot (like any beretta or even larger caliber sig). If merely for target, then a ruger MKII is nice, but prone to jamming, is tough to take down til you get the hang of it, and needs to be meticulously cleaned. 0 -

What is your definition of accurate? 0 -
Accurate? One that I don't have to aim. Just kidding. A gun that will keep a reasonable group at 25yds. I realize that some are inherently more accurate than others. Just want to hear what your experiences amy be with different guns. Say Glock vs. Browning vs. Sig, etc. 0 -
Heres what ive been told, H&k is most accurate, sig. is 2nd, Glock is 3rd, and Browning is probley last. My Glock 22 gets about 3 or 4 inch groups at 25 yards. 0 -
Baldy, accuracy is sometimes a subjective expectation for different gun owners, the reason I asked was to help determine how accurate you wanted to get. Wilson Combat advertizes 1" groups @ 25 yards with some of their handguns. I don't have experience with the glock, but I do own 5 Browning Hi-Powers (4-9mm's and 1-.40) All are capable of 2-3" groups at 25 yards. I've always thought the Hi-Power was one of the most graceful and elegantly designed double stack handguns ever made. Good luck on your choice! 0 -
The best "out of the box" auto I've ever had is my Kimber. Great accuracy and a excellent trigger.

Hands down, it's the Sig 210. A pricey little pistol but beautiful and excellent quality and accuracy.You pay for what you get - a $500 to $900 pistol can't compete with hand craafted worksmanship.Then again, I used to own a Hi Power that I had Robar fix up for me. It would shoot 1" at 50 ft. all day long. Course, that was a custom gun, on the order of a Wilson 1911 or such. And, neither one can match the accuracy of my Swensen 1911, but that's another story altogether.[This message has been edited by luger01 (edited 10-23-2001).] 0 -
You can buy many 45 cal pistols that will shoot under 3" at 50 yards.How much better do you want?And how much do you want to spend for the other 1.5"?cpermd 0 -
Another question is what type of shooting? Bullseye, steel plate, IDPA, tin cans?I use my Browing HiPowers for IDPA and plinking. For bullseye, I used a Series 70 Gold Cup and a Ruger Mark I.For Service accuracy, it is hard to beat the Browning and there are alot of them out there. 0 -
Before you go spending $$$$$$ on the most accurate auto anyone tells you, remember that you will never outshoot your firearm. Accuracy will depend on your skill and with the compatibility between you and your equipment. You can buy an HK tactical but if the ergonomics are not right for you and you cannot adapt to it, the extra 1" tighter groups that it advertises will do you no good. In most cases, you will shoot better if you are at ease with the firearm to a point that it becomes an extension of your hand. A few years ago, I was told that Beretta 92fs were accurate so I bought one and it made my range life miserable for months untill I was able to adapt to the difference in balance from an HK USP(which I had previously).Go to your local range, get a feel of which firearms you want and rent them. Then you can decide which you will be more comfortable with.BTW, the SIG210 is by far one of the flattest shooting 9mm ever. AMAZING! I saw one at a local shop and the owner wanted $1300 for it, brand new of course. 0 -
Plenty to chew on here guys. Thanks a lot. I'll never shoot match, eyes aren't what they used to be, and don't ever have a lot of time to practice. Just want to be able to hit a coffee can at 25 paces consistently, (and other stuff if I ever have to). I shoot my 45LC pretty darn good along with my other revolvers, but always wanted an auto. 0 -
Coffee can at 25 yards?Then get what you like and want.cpermd 0
