As per my "trimming plan," I've sold off most of my semi-auto .22LR pistols and revolvers at this point.
I was down to only 1 revolver, the Dan Wesson 8" barrel, 54 oz. that I bought off a member here.
I "accidentally" picked up a 1962 Hi-Standard revolver that I really enjoy b/c it was so different from the DW.
Next I was "forced" by another member to buy a Ruger SP101 unexpectedly a couple of weeks ago, and it reminds me of the Hi-Standard, but with rear adjustable sights, so I will sell the Hi-Standard when I get around to it.
The top two contenders for winning my "accuracy award" was the two semi-autos that I bought off a member here: S/W 41 & a Ruger Mark 3 with a Volquartsen barrel & trigger work, of which I'd like to add some grips to it sometime. In fact, I need to refurbish or replace the ones on the Smith 41 to suit me.
I intend to sell one of them eventually, but they are different enough that I enjoy each, so no hurry there.
I think the Mark 3 with the Volquartsen barrel might have the edge in accuracy but I could be the X-factor there. It will be fun finding out
Opportunity knocked and again I was prodded into picking up a little Beretta Bobcat , since I enjoy the challenge of shooting a micro accurately.
Range pic below, all rounds were shot w/o a rest.
The Hi-Standard (top at 21' & 30') has a mean D/A trigger pull which makes staying on target a challenge (must a 30# pull, really!).
S/A is great, but the sights are fixed, so it isn't going to be too accurate in with my eyes: it's days are numbered.
At 30" the DW does great in S/A (left of middle target where I drew the green "X" & the D/A (middle target) is sweet, but I'll have to learn to shoot it in D/A.
I just love pinking with the diminutive Bobcat, no matter what the distance (21' on left bottom & 15' on right), it seems like a bonus to get any rounds actually in the red.
I painted the sights but still can't hardly see.
I'll take it out to 30' next time to see if I can hit the circle at all.
