Bottom line: Way too much attention is given to the gun itself on the forums. I would rather the ammo get more consideration than the firearm because it has more of a influence in end results than the mid to upper end firearm. Any of the quality level handguns from Walther, Sig, Glock, HK, etc... and a good shooting style will be more than accurate enough.
What firearm calls to you is totally a personal and subjective choice. Just make sure your not chasing a firearm to make up for personal shooting deficiencies.

I still believe that there are some pistols that can't quite pull off 1 hole at 25 yards with 12 rounds for mechanical reasons. Call me crazy.

I still believe that 2” at 25 yd is more mechanical accuracy than most shooters can manage standing unsupported. Heck what I see most often is far worse than that, and even closer.

I don’t want a mechanically inaccurate pistol. If my pistol will only do 3” at 25 yd as opposed to 1” at 25 yd, I don’t consider it inaccurate.

Everyone is different and some designs lend themself to certain shooting styles and habits better than others. Where I have a issue is when a shooter constantly looks for a new handgun to make up for their bad shooting habits. There are cases of a defective handgun but it’s so rare. As long as you have a quality firearm shooting quality ammo, it will outperform better than most people will shoot. Grip, sight picture, and recoil mitigation are far more important in a follow up shot where gun fighting skills matters the most.

Agree 100%, the “latest & greatest” guns on the market won’t fix bad technique or a lack of training & practice. I trust things I figure out for myself rather than what I read or what I’m told. We all want to be better shooters and concentrating on the fundamentals is a way to improve regardless of which brand or style of firearm is used.

Best necrothread ever.

It’s like a conversation between friends that just happened to pick back up a few years later.

Yep, good stuff. I missed this the first time around. And I very much like that Emerson, Mystro.
