Ruger gp161 with .38's, I love it.

M1929 Lugers use a U-notch that leaves little to be desired. Additionally, this gun had a nice trigger job. I cannot say whether or not its mechanical accuracy is better than that of my best SIG P210, but it certainly wins in the total shooting experience. I also have its 180mm bull barreled sibling, but to date it has remained unfired. ![[Linked Image]](https://sphotos-b.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ash3/558629_426733610678648_94073166_n.jpg) -- Michael massmeans.com | Zeleny post.harvard.edu | 7576 Willow Glen Road, Los Angeles, CA 90046 | 323.363.1860 | http://www.subrah.comhttp://larvatus.livejournal.com | "All of old.

I have a 1911 built by Jack Maples from the USAMU. 10 shots in 2.1" at 50 yards. Have a lot of handguns, but this is the most accurate one.

My S&W Model 16. Accurate, minimal recoil (it's a .32) and the mechanical precision of a Swiss watch. You have a 16? Now I just don't like you. Is yours the Combat Masterpiece or the Target model? Mine's a target model. I've never seen a 4" K-32 Combat Masterpiece -- they are rare as rocking horse poop -- but if my 6" is anything to go by, it would probably be one sweet shooting gun. If you look around you should be able to pick up a good shooter grade Model 16 for $1200-$1500, maybe a bit less if matching stocks, finish, and the all important factory box really don't matter that much to you. I'm not sure I like you much either....LOL

I'm surprised no one has a TC Contender on their list. I have a bunch of revolvers that I love to shoot, and I do so with varying degrees of accuracy. But none of them compare with a Contender I used to have. I had one barrel in .22 Hornet that was incredibly easy to shoot accurately. Wish I still had it.

For pure accuracy, a highly tuned 1911 such as my Les Baer PII.
For speed shooting, IPSC/combat type shooting, a Glock 19/Glock 21.
THE CHAIR IS AGAINST THE WALL. The Tikka T3 in .308 Winchester is the Glock 19 of the rifle world. The website is up and running!www.lostriverammocompany.com

For just shooting rocks, chucks, and various targets of opportunity, my Ruger Blackhawks and FA '97's win. I have to confess that I rarely shoot handguns on paper.
The best offhand group I've ever shot on paper came from an old Springfield Armory 1911A1 with a full length guide rod and 3 dot sites.

For me I shoot double action revolvers the best even though I have been spending more time with my auto pistols. It can be any brand as long as the trigger is good. I prefer S&W guns though.

I hate to admit it, but in my case it's a SIG 228, at least in IPSC/combat type shooting.
It's simply a matter of how perfectly it fits my hand, and we're talking stock plastic grips.

A friend of mine's STI 2011 is gun that damn near shoots itself. A perfect 3# 1911 trigger combined with great fiber optic sights and that STI grip is about as good as it gets.
