Most accurate handgun you've ever fired?

I have owned and shot several Les Baers, and a Springfield Stainless Gold Match, that were very accurate for me. I don't know which was the most accurate among them. The only one I still own is a Baer TRS, and its three-dot sight set-up made it LESS accurate for me than my other Baers, because three-dot sights hinder my shooting.

The Kimber was so finicky, that I kept it only a short while before dumping it. That purchase was one of my biggest regrets in the area of firearms acquisitions.
 
Dan Wesson Model 15

The most accurate handgun gun I have fired is my DW Model 15 .357 Magnum with a 6" short-shroud barrel. It is a Monson era made revolver. Great gun.
 
My 1961 Colt Officers Model Match: Loaded with wad cutters, this revolver never ceases to amaze me with it's accuracy. Far better than any of my more modern guns.
 
Not my most accurate pistol, but close..

If you consider the Thompson Center single shot, it would be my most accutate, with under half inch groups at 100 yards (.223).

I agree. It also flings ground squirrels about six feet to the left and four feet off the ground.

Wow! I'm impressed!! Wonder why my guns are never that accurate? Could it be because there are witnesses?
 
My Taurus PT92C is more accurate then my Ruger SR9(cant shoot in SA) in single action mode, In Double Action mode the Ruger SR9 (DA ONLY) is the most accurate DA pistol i have ever fired next to the SIG .
 
My Colt Woodsman .22LR, which I inherited from my Dad, provided I use the right ammo. Never have experienced another pistol with that fine a trigger, and the sights (although slow to acquire) allow an extremely fine sight picture.
 
Stubb, good for you. I'm happy that someone (including myself) finally showed a handgun that is actually accurate. Please show some 50m targets so everyone will have some concept of handgun accuracy. Also see my earlier post in this thread about Hammerli, so you'll get my meaning.
 
For me, my 125 dollar norinco 213 will shoot one hole groups at about 10 yards, if I can do my part that is. My Baikal makarov would be a close second, most accurate small handgun ive ever owned. most accurate i have seen would be a desert eagle in .44 mag with a 2-7 leopold scope, did 1.5 inch groups at 50 yards from a bench.
 
If I do my part? Now where have I heard that before? Try doing your "part" then report. Good luck, now go try again.
Well, anyway, you get a ribbon for the old school (did my part) try.
Thanks anyway, these websites wouldn't be the same without y'all.
 
These two are too close to tell:

The Marvel Type I kit came with a sub 1-inch at fifty yard test target. Best I've managed is 1.05" at 25 yards.

I'll have to file this away in my ever-growing bucket-o-irony...

..then, with bated breath, again remind Offhand of the Holiday Handgun Match:

p.s. love that Pardini, Wiry!
 
Well offhand, truly sorry i did not state the capabilities of my cheap handgun in a manner that suited you. Or was it the fact that someone can achieve decent accuracy with a pistol that was not built for the olympics? I mean im used to people ragging on the 213 because it is chinese made, but come on. And relating to my original post, i forgot to mention that i was shooting from a bench, and groups open up to about 1.75-2.5 inch at the same distance unsupported. For 125 bucks out the door and good reliability with im not complaining.
