The X-Five shot the overall smallest group at 25 yards as well as the overall smallest average group at 25 yards and at 35 feet. Despite the good performance, there was a clear stand out winner, the X-Five. Nearly every single pistol was capable of a group of less than 2 inches at 25 yards and less than 1 inch at 35 feet (11.7 yards). Sig Sauer P226S X-Five Enhanced Classic 9mmīased on the best group sizes, nearly all of the pistols performed well. I think the rationale was to see how the regular pistols and higher end target pistol compares. In the second list some of the 9mm’s are not your regular pistol that you’d see at the local gun store, they are quality target pistols for competition shooting. These 9mm pistol are really accurate, reliable and available in most local gun stores. The name and reputation speaks for itself. Single action trigger, adjustable, steel barrelĬonsidered a CZ75 clone but many shooters feel this is more accurate. Here is the first list of most accurate 9mm pistol out of the box: Groupings from 12 Yds Groupings from 25 yds For example, 1 inch groupings from 12 yards. The course of fire was 5 shots at the 12 yard line and three 5-shot groups from the 25 yard.Īfter the smoke had cleared, the grouping is looked at to determine the accuracy of the pistol. This can affect accuracy as you find out later in the result section. Another thing to note, some pistols had optic sights mounted. Atlanta Arms 115 grain 9mm FMJ match bullets were used. There were no warm-up firing, all shooting was done cold from the line.
For example shots were fired from a hand rest or sandbags. This group actually thought of ways to reduce human error as much as possible. The second group are the same type of shooters just different person. The following are two 9mm pistol lists, the first is from shooters who just went out and shot targets without any purpose just on a “feel and where the bullet hits on target”. Our list of 9mm pistols could be different or more 9mm’s added to this list. In retrospect, if these were competitive shooters doing this accuracy test. These perspective are not from a defensive or combat shooter stand point either, just from the plinker/recreational shooter. Rob can pick up just about any pistol and be accurate with it.Īs we stated earlier these reviews are not true gun benchmark from Smith&Wesson or Sig Sauer. None of these shooters are newbies or of elite status like a Rob Leatham. From the groups that have shot these 9mm pistols are the Joe average with maybe some military or law enforcement background. You can take our suggestions of the most accurate 9mm pistols with a grain of salt.Īs most of you all know the “Indian” is always the variable factor that has to do with accuracy and not the “arrow”.
We also understand these sentiments are subjective and not objective (scientific). The following sentiments were collected from shooters in various gun community. We did not test fire all the 9mm pistols (except a few) from the list below. But, which ones are really accurate right out of the box without any customization. There are many great 9mm pistols of the past and present out on the market.
