My most accurate handgun was a revolver. A Used Smith and Wesson model 14 6" barrel in 38spl of course, (I never saw one with another length barrel) already worked and set up for bullseye/2700 and I used it for police PPC. I picked it up in IIRC 1971.
No recoil, shooting Wad cutters. Most beautiful trigger ever on any handgun. Even thought the Single actions was to die for, I don't think I ever shot it single action in competition, always double action. You know the way revolvers were meant to be shot.
Years later when I transitioned to bottom feeder Jammamatics and action shooting, I went with the SIG 226.
I don't think I ever missed a double action shot, if I was going to miss it would be on the followup single action.
Anyway the reason I went to action shooting was because of arthritis in my elbows, I couldn't handle the weight of the gun upon presentation. The wad cutters had no recoil. I had sold my model 14 in a rage about the inability to use it effectively Bullseye shooting anymore. Sure wish I had not done that.
about 9 years ago the arthritis got to my trigger finger. I went back to the first weapon I ever carried for business, the 1911 in 45acp, also with the shortest trigger travel of any commonly found weapon available.
I am still shooting action, Steel Challange, IDPA, some Single stack, Bowling pins etc....
My health continues to be a problem, but the ole' 1911 keeps going bang, everytime.
Go figure.
