While some certainly are more accurate than we are, for precision shooting events you still what the best you can afford. Error is additive. If you are capable of shooting 3" groups @ 25 yards and the gun from a rest shoots 3" at the same distance; you can expect 6" groups offhand with that gun. If another competitor with the same ability as you has a pistol that shoots 1.5" @ 25 yards, he/she will beat you every time because across a 60-90 round match as that is enough rounds for the guns to shoot their average. It takes work to get your ability under 2" @ 25 yards consistently so, if you have the money, it is quicker and long term better to get a more accurate gun. The more accurate gun will give you better feedback as to what you are doing right or wrong as you work at improving yourself.
