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.

Wellllll...there are ways to make em shoot pretty damned good and still
be suitable for street duty. And pass MIL 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.

Wes

Depends on the range and the targets. I shoot a lot of .41 Mag out in
the field, and 357 for bunnies and coyotes and such, very accurate a
long way out. Past 100 yrds..I dig out the Contenders

"First Law of Leftist Debate
The more you present a leftist with factual evidence
that is counter to his preconceived world view and the
more difficult it becomes for him to refute it without
losing face the chance of him calling you a racist, bigot,
homophobe approaches infinity.

This is despite the thread you are in having not mentioned

the subject." Grey Ghost
