I went to the range yesterday after work for a quick session.
I shot both of my CCWs, (Sig P365 and Ruger LCR 38) and was expecting that the group would be tighter with the auto, since historically, I shoot autos better.
It reminded me of a recent Paul Harrell video I saw, in which he also shot the revolver better than the auto, even going kind of rapidly.
The first time, I couldn't believe it. I assumed I was rushing with the Sig. I slowed down, did it again, same result. It was to the point where I could shoot 1 per second with the LCR and still outshoot 1 per 5 seconds with the P365. I was not trying to stage the trigger on the LCR or anything.
With the LCR, I was shooting light-ish reloads. (4.0 gr. Win 231 under a 105 gr. bullet) With the P365, I shot some reloads and some factory with the same result. Maybe the fact that I could shoot lighter ammo with the LCR allowed me to find a cool load that would be more accurate, where I couldn't do that with the auto, as I need enough power to cycle the slide?
...or maybe the fixed barrel of the revolver makes it more accurate?
It's certainly not the trigger, as the P365's is quite short, crisp and light compared to the long & heavy (but smooth) pull of the LCR.
...or is it really just down to me?
To those of you who shoot both revolvers and autos, do you tend to shoot one more accurately than the other, with a similar size of gun?
