The Burton 9mm Commander averaged 1.507″ five shot groups from a foam rest at 25yd. Ammunition is Federal 124gr +p HST. This is the best of the groups at 0.776 inches.
Good opportunity for me to ask an anal-retentive question. Aren’t we really referring more about precision? Accuracy means hitting your target. “Precision” would be how well, how consistent, or how tight your groups or shots are.
NWGlocker — Yes, it’s precision over targeting/accuracy technically. But “accuracy” has come to mean group size in just about everyone’s mind so I use the term that way.
Robbie — Eyes closed, using the Force (#sithlivesmatter).
Actually, I used a laser as mentioned above. I always do whenever one is available for the pistol because it takes my eyesight out of the equation.
I’ve tried using a laser at 25 and it’s near impossible for me to see it properly, I’ve been thinking of using a spotting scope and laser. Do you use any optics along with the laser?
secondscount: that would be interesting but not a valid comparison to Todd’s target. What you need to do is have Todd send the Heirloom to you; you shoot both so it takes the user out of the equation.
Wow.
Great accuracy but I am equally impressed that you can effectively see that dot at 25 yards.
That pistol must be a joy to shoot
SteveJ — Indoor range. Plus it’s a green CTC so it would probably even work outdoors.
Gerard — It’s a joy to own. It’s a gun to shoot. 😎

that was unsighted fire right?
Impressive group from a foam rest I have to say.

Robbie — No, but I’m using it at an indoor range.
Great shooting with a well built gun. I should get out my Springfield Loaded 9mm and see what it will do at 25.

Of course you’d need to send it back to him.
🙂
I’ve met a few rack-grade M16-series rifles that can’t do this…
Can you provide the manufacturer of the foam rest ? I have looked at several and they seem too flexible.
Bob — It’s not mine, there are a bunch of them available for customer use at the NRA Range. They may be custom made. Sorry!
