MemphisMechanic Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 (edited) Actually @Malarkey it is important. (All referring to 25yd with guns bagged in:) Without a barrel swap my M&P wouldn't do less than 8" with bullets heavier than 130 grains. Your average Glock 34 is a 3" gun roughly. The Stock II with it's cone-fit barrel is exceptionally accurate, along the lines of most match-grade 1911s or a CZ with the Accu bushing. 1" or so is not uncommon with quality reloaded ammo.

I agree 100%, but the other element behind this is the trigger mechanism and not just the barrel which is where I was leading the discussion into. If I have a .5" gun at 100 yards...but it takes 20lbs of force to pull the trigger, then it is going to be very difficult to achieve that accuracy. They are very accurate guns.

Bob Hostetter Posted January 9, 2017 Author Share Posted January 9, 2017 I was solely concerned with the mechanical accuracy of the pistols without modification. I wanted to know how well they would shoot if I locked them in a vise and pulled the trigger 5 times. Fine tuning the pistol's ergonomics to match my particular style and skill set is a separate issue. Not all guns are incredibly accurate. Triggers don't affect the mechanical accuracy of a gun only the ease in which that accuracy can be reached. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MemphisMechanic Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 Exactly. Triggers enhance your ability to reach the gun's potential, but it's inherent mechanical accuracy is the limiting factor. And you wanted to know what it was Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryridesmotox Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 It will one hole from 25 yards if you had it in a vise... Well maybe not one 9mm hole but like it would be very small... This is 15 or 20, can't rememebr. It was two hand standing unsupported. I don't remember if this was when the gun was factory equipment or modified though, this was a while ago though. Had to dig through the phone pics to find it.... Trigger jerking was me... Indoor range, big gun next bench over... That flinch though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
