While not a pistol shooter to any great extent, read this part of the forum as it is always informative and entertaining.
Had been wondering about the new RAP pistol and how it would be received especially from a quality aspect, being a new gun design.
Was catching up on my reading over the weekend and noticed the American Rifleman had done a review of the 9MM version, shooting it with a couple of brands of ammo and their conclusion was:
"As for the pistol I worked with, it operated flawlessly with no malfunctions throughout the entire testing process using 9 mm Luger ammunition ranging from bulk practice loads to premium defensive hollow points. Bench rested five-shot groups demonstrated solid defensive accuracy with group sizes averaging right around 3" at 25 yds."
Had been reading the posts by "Nh Rugerman," he'd indicated, "My RAP has an outstanding trigger and is capable of shooting 1" groups all day at 25 yards.." Revhigh had questioned this, and Nh Rugerman later clarified this, "I wrote that the RAP "is capable of shooting 1" groups all day at 25 yards". Please explain to me where I stated that I was capable of doing that.."
Think the NRA article provided some more objective light on this, and was surprised that even pricey pistols from Les Baer Custom (1911's) are talking a guarantee of 3" at 50 feet.
I'm a revolver and single shot pistol shooter, and generally look for much better accuracy than this.
So was wondering what is good accuracy at say 25 and 50 yards from a rested semi-auto pistol?
Would have expected much better than the 3" groups (50 ft and 25 yards), but would like to hear from the folks that shoot these a lot, as to what is expected accuracy for 5 shot groups at 25 and 50 yards.
The guns I currently shoot have to do much better than that, shooting out to 100 yards (off hand), and was really curious about acceptably accuracy from a good quality semi-auto pistol.
