My Contenders are as accurate as my rifles. I expect the XP100's are too.

Out of the common & available handguns??
My S&W Model 41 .22 target pistol would have to take high honors.
Also, the National Match 1911 .45 I built for myself at 5th. Army AMU in 1968.
And a few S&W K and N frame revolvers that ain't too far behind, if any.

The next one I buy, then the one after that, then the one after that, then the one after that, then the one after that, etc.

One fine afternoon I was making cloverleafs with a mid-80s 6" Python and a 6" 686 K-frame at 25 yards, resting on a sandbag, with the same 125 grain WWB .357 magnum loads.

Pretty much all mine are defense-class firearms. I have only a couple of "plinking" guns, and no "target" guns.
Accuracy, for me, is as much based on my ability with the gun as it is the gun's construction.
Of those I currently own, the one I am most accurate with is probably either my Ruger Police Service Six (.357 Magnum, but loaded with .38), or my Bersa Thunder 380. It seems I can shoot them both close enough together in aim as to be equal in my hands. My Ruger Mk-II is probably up there, too, but I'll be honest here; I haven't fired it much in the last several years to recall.
The one I have known myself to do the best with was the sidearm issued to me by my first LE employer, a S&W M67 revolver, especially after I upgraded the stocks.

I have two which are nearly tied. S&W M&P 9 and Sig P220 Stainless Elite. Probably a little more accurate with the Sig, but I could shoot the M&P a lot quicker.

Freedom Arms for me. I have many others which are also very close though. Contender which has already been mentioned.

Probably my S&W Model 41.
A Colt 1991A1 built into a custom gun by Wilson is probably second, and a SIG X-5 is probably 3rd.

#1 was a 7 mm TCU 14 inch Contender. Next my Dan Wesson 8 inch 41 magnum and a 454 BFR that is as accurate.

accuracy
I shot a 1 1/2 " 5 shot group @ 100 meters [108 yds] with a Dan Wesson 44 mag from a reclineing position ,resting accross the inside of my leg . I used a blast shield . The shooting position is usually reffered to as [the dead frog ] to any of you old silhouette shooters .

Mine is a Colt Woodsman built in 1938. I've shot 3/4" inch groups at 25 yards with it.

My S&W Model 52.
Hard to believe but my Ruger Mark II with bull barrel edges out my S&W 41.

For me it was Smith&Wesson Model 66 with a 4" barrel in .357 Magnum. It would shoot one ragged hole at 25 yards off sand bags from the bench. They don't make like that anymore!

For me it's been a .357 Blackhawk and an S&W 625 in .45acp. Don't know why, but these have been uncanny accurate for me. I do know there are handguns out there that are more accurate.

My RIA Match is insanely accurate. 1 ragged hole at 10 yards every time

Just got back from shooting my Ruger Mk I target model .22lr, it is old but still shoots straighter than I can hold it.

S&W Shorty Forty Five.
The first eight rounds from it at twenty yards went into a group that would hide completely behind a US quarter.
