I've seen some serious accuracy from 1911's and other semi-autos, and I started to wonder: What would you expect to shoot smaller groups, an average out-of-the-box centerfire revolver, or a semi-auto?
Box-stock, over the counter, as delivered, you get more accuracy per dollar in centerfires with a revolver and more accuracy per dollar in rimfires with a semi-auto.
It is very hard to find an equal priced semi-auto that will shoot as well as a Ruger or S&W DA 6" barreled .357.
At the same time, it is equally difficult to find an equal priced rimfire revolver that will shoot as well as a Ruger Mk III or Browning Buckmark target model.
There will be individual examples of each, but if you took 25 of each and averaged them for the comparison ... "thar ain't no comparison."
