9mm pistol accuracy

The SIG210 is generally regarded as a very accurate 9mm. At a more affordable price point the Springfield XDM Competition 9mm is apparently doing in bullseye matches in the USA (Service Pistol) at 25/50 yards.

When I went down this path a few years ago the Jericho 941 was reportedly to be quite accurate (2.5” at 25m), but I couldn’t shoot it worth a darn.
 
Swiss made Sig P210-2, German made Sig Sauer P210 Legend, Pardini GT9, in less expensive but very accurate: CZ Shadow.

My CZ 75 Tactical Sports (I have 2). 5 1/4" barrel, all steel so minimal recoil, factory trigger in the 2.0-2.2 round range. Probably the last guns I would ever sell.

What would make handmade more accurate than factory loads? I reload my 9mm, because I can. Maybe get power factor a little closer for recoil management. But what affects accuracy?

Consistency of powder charge, uniformity of bullet seating and crimp. You can set your COAL to suit your chamber; as chambers vary.

I joined a Gun Club in Bolton, Lancashire UK at age 18. My first pistol, a Star .22 target pistol. The trigger felt like it was operating inside a bucket of gravel! My first match was at an other club, one of these members, asked me if I wanted to try his Sig 210, WOW. My target was the highest score fired that night.
No, I was not afforded any more trys, of that 9mm!

The next time I saw a Sig 210, was in Aden, a Police Officer was wearing one in his holster! He was speaking Egyptian to a Taxi driver (Mine) which was not going well. When I butted in, commenting on his pistol "Is that 210 issue?) He switched to perfect English, and with a little grin, said: "Well you know?" I think someone lost that pistol, somewhere. I got to even look at it, looked like it just came out of the box. Gleaming deep blue.

We came ashore from the SS Australis, a Greek liner, on our way to Australia. Then we went through the Suez Canal, 5 weeks trip overall, Portsmouth UK to Sydney NSW! Amazing.

Back on the most accurate pistol. When I first moved to Florida and obtained a Green Card, I was able to purchase a Glock 17, with TruGlo night sights. The first match I shot with it, an IPSC Match in Jacksonville.

The first course was movement, on the whistle, move to a firing position at a verticle barrier, the target was an IPSC cardboard old style one. The two sides were blacked out, so the only scoring zone open, the 6" wide centrepiece, top to bottom. It was 50 yards away!

To give myself a chance of scoring, I fired 4 rounds. When they were scoring the targets, the young guy who was doing the patching, called me down to look at the 50-yard target.

All 4 were hits, center chest if you would, two were touching, one was an inch away, the other hit, 3" away. But all 4 were scored hits. The scorer said, "I could not do that with a Rifle!" My comment "Neither could I" I still have that 17, have not fired it in years. Sits in the safe.
