Find a reasonably priced gun from a reputable manufacturer, get yourself a good set of sights, and you’ll be good to go. For a 9mm trainer, don’t feel pressure to buy what the marketers and gun writers say is the most accurate handgun on the market. If you miss a 12-inch steel target at 15 yards, there’s a 99.9% chance it’s not the gun. To test your handgun’s accuracy, support the barrel and the bottom of the pistol grip on sandbags, and do your best to aim at the same spot every time.īut does handgun accuracy really matter? Outside of hunting and competition, not really. A factory striker-fired pistol might shoot in the 3- to 4-inch range while a custom 1911 or revolver can get into 1-inch territory. If your 9mm can shoot a 2-inch group at that distance, you’re in great shape.
There is no standard distance for measuring handgun accuracy, but 25 yards is probably the most common. Most hunters care far more about rifle accuracy than handgun accuracy, but if you’re going to brag that your handgun is “accurate,” what kind of groups are you looking for?
How Accurate is “Accurate?" Does It Matter?
