are you shooting offhand or benched?I found my old target from a few months ago. There was a reduction in group size of about 25% from then to the 4" circle target I tried a couple of weeks ago. That might well just be the difference in shooting a 4" circle vs a full sihouette target. However, its improvements so I'll take it.
Hitting where your aiming is a good start.
Absolutely true. Saw a guy on a youtube video, obviously a very accomplished shooter. Shooting a Jframe 38 special and ringing 8" steel plate at 100 yards. He actually hit it offhand a couple of times as well. Most guns are far and away more accurate than the person shooting it.The problem with a question like this is "normally" people are shooting the guns and then comparing accuracy. To see what the gun is capable of it has to be done off a good solid rest, by a shooter who knows how. Most are FAR more accurate than people ever realize until they see it done. After you see what the gun can do, then it's all up to the shooter so work on making the gun better in their hands.

2" at 25 yards.
Modern Glocks are more accurate than people give them credit for. A huge part of accuracy with an auto, is that every thing has to load and close in the exact same spot every time the pistol cycles.

My 34.4 keeps up with my 1911's just fine, if I'm careful with the trigger. Took a bit of mild trigger work, but it's capable now.
23 is my favorite ccw now. I think I want a Glock 35.5 next.
I've been concentrating on pistols a bit lately. I use my S&W Victory 22 pistol as the accuracy to strive for with my other pistols. I have a Shield and M&P 2.0 both in 9mm. Is this an unrealistic goal? I'm holding shots on 8" targets at 20 yards, typically in a 4" to 5" group, but those are 9mm hand loads tested from a bench, not off hand. I can hold smaller groups at longer ranges with the 22.
