[QUOTE="D V US, post: 3257249, member: 34558"] I did a comparison on several pistols a couple of months back to find out which one was the most accurate with bulk Federal Champion ammo. The guns were; High Standard Victor High Standard Citation S & W 41 S & W 17 K22 Masterpiece S & W 18 K22 Combat Masterpiece Ruger MK lll Target w/ Volquartsen trigger kit High Standard Double-Nine Taurus 94 3" To keep it short, I shot ten 5 shot groups with each at 20 yards from a solid rest. They ranked like this; 1st. High Standards Victor and Citation, S&W 41 and (most surprisingly) Ruger MK. lll all pretty much tied for first place. All shot under 1" groups and all had some approaching 1/2". 2nd S&W 17 w/ all groups right around an inch. 3rd S&W 18 w/ groups around 2" 4th High Standard Double-Nine 3-3 1/2" groups The Taurus got put back in the range bag after two groups around 9 inches. I feel that the short sight radius on the S&W 18 played a big part in it's larger group size over the 17, and I'm certain that the coarse sights on the HS Double 9 were it's major detraction. I was surprised by the Rugers performance because I've owned probably a dozen over the years and none of them could touch my High Standards...until this one.
