An accurized 1911 will shoot 2" groups at 50 yards. Mine would when I
inherited it (it's a 1941 M70 Colt-manufactured military model, never shot
before it was sold through the NRA, which my uncle had accurized around
1965). But it's gotten a little looser over the years.

As soon as you accurize them, like peen the frame rails to tighten up the slide and such,
I doubt it would pass military acceptance tests.


I considered hunting javelina with it, but my SSM Ruger will shoot groups
about half that size (the gun can, but I can't. g).

If I want an accurate handgun I pick my revolvers or my T/C Contender depending on use.
