I will also add to the single shots the Thompson Center Patroit Pistol in
45 cal. This would be the later ones made with a 1 in 22 twist.

And yes there are some of us who can shoot better than the guns we have.
My wife started with a Pietta Rem. 44 and she wrung out all that was possible
from it. 25 yds was OK, but 50 yds was not. Most pistol matches are won or
lost at 50 yds. She is a excellcent 50 yd shooter. The old Rem with the slow
rate of twist 1-38 or so just would not spin the ball fast enough to be accurate at 50 yds. Not for National competion which was what she was doing. So I had to spend 500.00 to get her a revolver made that would shoot
at 50 yds. Happy to say that now she has a revolver that will shoot better
than she can. She has done well with it. In as much as the Ruger is the most
accurate of the revolvers, even they are not shot in National competion without some work done to them. If you were to shoot a stock Ruger you
would be under a handycap. Hope this helps.
