Bullsey handgun

my understanding is the handgun needs to be capable of 1" groups at 50 yards from a machine rest. I have  SW586 6" . I have shot it quite a bit andknow it is very accurate with my hunting loads of 296 and 125 hp. I am shopping for 148 HWBC right now . I have a SW1076 10mm. I am not sure how accurate it is. I have only fired it a few times. is there someone who makes after market barrel match barrels for it? Bar-sto? what do you recommend? thanks. roninflag

I don't agree it HAS to hold 1" . You just have to be that much better when dealing with less accuracy. I might shoot 8 ring (ok, 7) with 1" accuracy, Zins probably still cleans it with 3" accuracy..

Roninflag,

Either one of those guns should be just fine for the centerfire stage if they hold a 3" group at 50 yards.  Better than that is better, but if that's what you have, many shooters are shooting Centerfire guns that aren't much more accurate than that.  I can shoot in the 270s with a revolver a lot like yours.

Bar-sto and Kart make great barrels but for what you would spend accurizing your 10mm, you could have a big down payment for a .45ACP 1911.  I think you are going to have a hard time finding a match barrel from ANY manufacturer for your 1076.

Go ahead and shoot some matches with the guns that you already have and have some fun!

Good advice, I think.  I use a polymer 9mm service gun with a red dot sight.  I have shot good groups with it out to 100 yards, but it isn't anything special.  In my case, the shooter needs work, not the guns.
