I never had ammo for an 1873, but I have fired a French 1892 and it is pretty accurate, at least as good as most military revolvers of the day, in spite of the "less than optimal" sight picture and single action trigger pull. IIRC, I got around 1 1/2 inch groups at 7 yards. (I have not measured any Chadian resistance fighters lately.)
