Just curious, Sig, Glock Colt, etc. which one can you cut loose with while still maintaining your accuracy level to be acceptable, "may be any revolver semi etc," no auto's of course.
 
Shootin's shootin'.

If you have a neutral grip, good trigger control and see what you need to see when you need to see it, there shouldn't be much difference between platforms, IMO.

I mainly shoot a revolver, so I'm most comfortable with that, but also shoot an M&P40, and I'm about as fast with it. Shootin's shootin'. ;)
 
For me it might be either a 22 automatic or a double action 22. In my memory I was good with them, but it has been so long since I have been able to find 22 ammunition that I could afford that I don't dare use what I have. Then maybe I am wrong. Maybe I was never as fast as I remembered. Regular shooting tends to bring me down to earth.

The rapid fire trick that has always fascinated me was in Elmer Keith's, book sixguns. He describes stacking three glass bottles, shooting at the bottom one, and breaking the other two as they fell down. He said that a 22 lacked the power to break the bottles cleanly enough, and a 38 was too slow. The only gun he could do it with was a K-32. I always wanted to try that, but there aren't too many places left where you can break glass without feeling guilty, and I never got my hands on a K-32. He wrote the book in 1936, which meant that he must have used a pre-war K-32. According to the figures published now only 96 of those pre-war K-32s existed. Since Smith & Wesson didn't advertise how few of those guns they were selling, I doubt if Keith knew just how rare a gun he had.
 
Determination of accurately is to be determined. Am I shooting minute of golfball or minute of barndoor. I can hit both quickly, but one more so than the other at similar distance.

That I personally can shoot accurately?

How accurately do you want?

I guarantee that, no matter the handgun, I can keep all my shots inside an indoor shooting range jerking that throttle as fast as I can.

On the one hand I'm not that fast, but on the other, I'm not that accurate.

I'm not scared of either speed or accuracy. I've sat right down and watched both and not flinched a bit.

CZ75 SP01 Shadow Custom.
Combat shooting my splits are usually .16-.22
I've put an entire mag into the head of an IDPA target offhand at 50 yards at a pace that surprised me and hitting steel at 100 is pretty easy.
 
In .22 the Ruger Mark series.
Of my centerfires it's a CZ 75 single action in 9mm.
that I got from CZ Custom a few years ago.

Once upon a time there was a gentleman who could throw a tin can in the air and hit it 5 times before it hit the ground. He could also shoot 5 accurate rounds in less than a second, all this was done with a S&W revolver. The same man could also split a playing card sideways. Who was it? no it wasn't the modern sharpshooter Bob M, it was Ed McGivern.
 
1911 - simply because of the trigger reset speed. But I enjoy revolvers more these days.
