Of the 9’s I own and have owned in the past, my tuned 75th anniversary Browning Hi Power is by far my most accurate. My wife loves shooting it too.
We had a concrete and steel Ransom Rest base at the Old Range. FLG and I once set up a good 1911 and laid it every shot with a scope sight in V blocks. It went from good to great vs regular Ransom operation.
Jealous!This is the one I built, the earlier photo is a Ransom
So in the meantime, it's optically aided group testing for me maybe with a remote trigger in the future.

Agree as jmorris posted, 5 shot groups are subset of 10 shot groups ... and 10 shot groups are subset of 50 shot groups and why I capture all 5/10 shot groups for 10,000+ composite group size averages like in 22LR 50 yard testing - https://www.thehighroad.org/index.p...22lr-on-the-cheap.898035/page-2#post-12304052^^ Those test results are based on 5 shot groups ... If you want valid accuracy tests, it's with 10 shot strings...like Morris did.
