Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Handguns Most accurate off the shelf self defense pistol that is not a 1911?

The most accurate I've used out of the box, other than 1911 as stated, are CZ, Glock, and XD-M, in that order. I carry Glocks, for several reasons besides accuracy, but the good CZ pistols I've had and shot gave pretty impressive accuracy.

Some people rave about accuracy of the HK P7 squeeze cockers, but both of my gen4 Glock 19 pistols shoot better than either of my P7's. (Sold both P7s, they are way overrated IMO.)

Much truth to what okie john says.

Most people want to chase mechanical accuracy in a pistol, but don't have the skill to put it to use. Finding a good load and putting in the practice is a lot more effective than buying another gun, if you're chasing accuracy.

I hear you, but the Smith 44 magnum says I can shoot a single action pistol pretty good, I also agree the SIG 229's are very accurate its just a bigger heavier pistol than my usual G19. Sights make a big difference I think.

Python !

Who cares...

two that i think are sleepers
theP6 sig
the cz82 makarov.

An off-the-shellfish Glock 40 with a custom fit Bar-Sto barrel.

I have a CZ 85 Combat model that is quite accurate

The Beretta 92FS is pretty accurate, out of the box.

True 'dat. True 'dat.

Yep, but if he thinks the 229 is too big and heavy. He'll really hate the 92

I've got 2 M9's and don't hate them.

That said, don't think I'd want to try and CCW one around all the time.

My buddy has one of those and I really like it.



Dave

Bruce Willis carried one.



Dave

I wouldn't carry either of them concealed but they are accurate as schit.

The ones I've shot anyway.




Dave

Dude,

Sig P-229.

Why would you sell a Sig P-229?

Handgun accuracy ain't what you're lookin' for if you're talkin' self-defense.

Revolvers are a pain in the ass to conceal carry. They hold only six rounds & take too long to reload.

See if you can buy your P-229 back.

The M9/92's are accurate as schit.

If I start sucking at handgun shooting, I can always pick up one of my M9's and redeem myself.

As far as Sigs go, haven't shot many of them. But, if the rest of them shoot anything like a slicked up Sig 1911 a new friend let me try out this past Thursday along with his Glock 41, call me impressed.

If you want a very accurate, yet light weight, compact carry gun, take a look at the CZ P-7, or the P-01.

Yeah... But He hated those 'ceramic Glocks'.
