I've had one for about 20 yrs. With the right loads, it would hold under 1.5 inches @ 25 yds. I bought it because Gun Tests magazine said the one they tested had match grade accuracy. I've found that to be true. They are a bit heavier than a 1911 Colt, but they don't kick nearly as hard due to the extra weight and the wider frame. What really impressed me was the power one gets and the relative lack of muzzle blast and recoil. I've owned two .357 Magnums, one 41 Magnum and a 44 Magnum. Definitely more power the .357, but less ear shredding muzzle blast. Not the power of the 41 Mag, but not far off. Not near the recoil or muzzle blast. Mine is not for sale, even though I love the feel of the current Kimber 10mm's. E
